Great! No Issues!
This has worked out great for me! I have it installed on my Toyota Tundra 2" hitch and being able to drop the tailgate and move the bikes out of the way has proved invaluable in the 15 rides I have take the wife and kids on.
My youngest duaghter has a smaller frame (26") and I am using a Saris extension bar to be able to mount hers on the rack. Her bike sits a bit awkward but gets on easily.
I have a road bike (Canondale CAAD 9) and a Trek 1200 road bike, one has the cables over the main bar and the other unning underneath the main bar. The rubber straps simply slide "underneath" the cables where they run over the bar on the Trek 1200. On the CAAD 9, the cables are far enough apart that their is no issue and the bike fits nice and snug and does not mover or the fear of getting scratched. The fold down seat post clamp makes the whole thing very stable when using the 3 straps.
Just having the convenience of using my tailgate as a chair and being able...

Awesome Hitch
When I found out that a regular trunk hitch was not going to work on my 2011 Equinox I was nervous. I knew I needed a hitch mount now but didn't want to sacrifice losing access to my hatch cargo space. Having a toddler we carry a stroller with us and I didn't want a bike rack that needed to be taken off and put on just to carry our bikes. When I came across this one I was very happy to know that Yakima had a bike rack that swung open. Not only do I now have full access to my rear cargo space, I can leave the rack on year round and not have to worry about removing it. It's so easy to operate that my wife has no issues with it at all. Rack is very sturdy with our bikes on it.
One thing that I bought optional because it did not say came with it was a receiver lock pin. But in fact this rack includes ones. It utilizes a anti rattle receiver pin. You actually have to screw it in and then it has a lock on the other side. So if you this one, do not buy a optional locking receiver...
Multiple design flaws
- an error in the first assembly instruction forced me to call the store to see how the hitch bolt and washers went in
- it's VERY difficult to screw in the swing-out arm each time you open it. the salesperson took over five minutes to do it, and it still took me three minutes on my 3rd try.
- the hitch pin lock doesn't fit with the cotter pin on [no biggie, but the instructions say to put the pin on first]
- it includes two tools that fit the arm bolt, but not one for the hitch bolt
- although the Yakima book said it would fit on my 2007 Toyota RAV4, it didn't [because of the external spare tire], so I had to get an extension piece for the hitch or return the rack [which I did, so I can't tell you how it actually works. the salesperson said it works well, but that you can only get 3 bikes on it]
- the built-in cable bike lock doesn't slide into its slot, so 15" of it sticks out
