Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)

The rack it self, no complaints, but if you plan on traveling and want to lock your rack to your hitch and your bikes to your rack, so you can go into the diner to get something to eat and not worry about your bikes missing, well there's the problem, they don't make a hitch lock for it. The hole on the rack is 3/8" and the smallest hitch lock is 1/2". I look high and low, found nothing, I call Allen Racks 800 number, and customer service told me there is no lock for it, send it back to Amazon and get your money back, this is what they told me, if shipping wasn't $20.00 I would of! So the next best thing is get yourself a 1/2" drill bit and make the hole bigger, it took me 5 minutes and I was on my way. The only thing is I think I voided the warranty by making the hole bigger, but it does work and works good. Something to think about before you buy one.

Having thoroughly researched 4 bike carriers, I was dubious of the quality of this prior to receiving it. Other 'name brand' carriers can run $200-300 or more. Still, the reviews on Amazon were good so I thought I'd give it a try.
Glad I did.

This is a great product - easy to assemble, easy to attach, bikes are easy to load and unload. Very steady when traveling - very little 'sway.' I also purchased the locking pin for securing it to my 2 inch receiver. I've left it on my Yukon for a couple of weeks now - folded down it is unobtrusive. This is a quality product and I'm glad I trusted the reviews.

I've only used this once, but setup according to the instructions was very straightforward and takes 1/2 hr. Only four stars because as others have noted, it would be better to have a 1/2-in standard size hole for a locking pin. I ended up drilling the hole bigger and there is a bit of wiggle now but it still performs great, so I am happy.

We looked at the more popular brand names in the bicycle and outdoor shops; but, I thought they were over priced. I look on Amazon and found the Allen rack at what seemed to be a more reasonable price. I ordered it expecting a somewhat less sturdy model considering the lesser price. To my surprise it is at least as sturdy as any of the much more expensive brands I looked at and works great!
After several months of use it still works great and is very secure. The only reason I have taken off one star is because the finish is not holding up well. Quite a bit of rust showing in less than a year.

Strong Sturdy Frame. Nice lowering mechanism, but quite difficult to do with 3-4 bikes onboard (heavy to get back up). Bikes hold securely on frame.
Good Value. I would definitely recommend.
