I have a Thule model and it's great. I would suggest buying a locking hitchpin that you can tighten to remove the slack in the reciever. Mine hardley moves. Also, they make them (at least the Thule) stand way out from the rear off the vehicle I'm aaauming to accomidate most anything. I slid mine in the reciever without the hitchpin with a bike on it an moved it about 6 inches closer to the truck. I marked the hole and then re drilled and cut off the excess. this brings the bikes in closer and shortens the amount of the rack stocking out which makes it a bit more stable. Also, the Thile model tilts down to alow you access to the bed even with bikes on. Mine holds 4 bikes.
