Have been using this on my 4runner in Yukon for fatbiking in the winter. Amazing how fast you can load and unload 2 bikes. Super secure and durable so far. Stores nicely when not in use too. Look forward to using this for the mountain bikes too.

This rack is solidly built and keeps bikes steady during transport. I haven't had anything loosen up while driving long distances and it is so fast loading bikes on and off. Having the trigger on the handle grip to articulate the rack up and down is worth the extra cost of going with the Pro XT. The offset feature of this rack also comes in handy. I am able to put my and my wife's bikes on without having to drop the seats. I am able to get my 27.5" bike with 3" diameter tires in this without any problems. I only have 2 areas where I feel like Thule could have improved. The first is the small arm that gets inserted into the bolt hole on the hitch receiver. I have very little confidence in this thing backing me up in the event that the main locking mechanism failed. It has actually popped open in transport (although the main locking mechanisms did not loosen up). I'm not really sure what it's function is. The second is the cables that are part of the built-in security locks could be longer which would make attaching them to the bikes much easier. Highly recommended.

This unit was easy to assemble and it's super easy to load and lock bike on rack. Tilt away and tilt up when not in use are great features. The platform style bike rack is the way to go. May be a bit more expensive, unit is very well made.
