 Pre thread all bolts first June 21, 2010

The first thing to do is to check the threads on all nuts & bolts . The bolt used to lock the rack to the receiver on first try it was on my truck i tried to hand tighten and would not . I had to use my metric tap and die set to clean both threads . I would recommend checking all nuts & bolts first.

The rack is well built and I thought it would be a great solution for our RAV4 as the roof is a long way up to hoist our bikes. However, my 2 daughters' bikes, Specialized Hotrocks, 20" and 24" don't fit on the rack. I'd give the rack a higher rating if we could use it but it's off of our list for about the next 3 years.

 Solid Rack but Damages Bikes September 3, 2009

This is a solid, durable bike rack and the swing feature is great. Every major component of the rack is excellent and up to the Thule standard - EXCEPT ONE. The anti-sway component is a poorly engineered, cheap, piece of junk that will damage your bike. I have three bicycles that carry scars from the antisway accessory. Unfortunately you need the antisway so that your bikes do not rock and bang into each other on the rack. I strongly suggest that you never strap a carbon frame bike to the anti-sway. At the point(s) where the bike frame touches the antisway I have a brand new Cervelo P3 that has a dime sized area with no paint on it. My road bike, TT bike and my son's aluminum frame road bike all have scars from this rack.
I cant afford a new rack so I've glued felt to all points on the rack that touch the bike frame. This looks terrible but it is protecting my bicycles. You can also use an old inner tube as a protective sleeve over your frame. It's a shame that Thule ruined an otherwise excellent rack with such a poorly thought out anti-sway device. I guess the idea is to save $2 at the risk of damaging a bicycle frame that costs $'000s.
If you take good care of your bikes, I would look for another option. If you dont mind the missing paint, it's a solid rack.

I spent a lot of time researching various brands and styles of bike racks. I settled on a hitch mount rack since loading three bikes on top of my Toyota Highlander would be a chore for me, and for my wife, impossible. I finally bit the bullet and spent $400 at REI for the rack.
This is a very solid and heavy rack. It weighs about fifty lbs. Construction is excellent. It is easy to assemble. There are two pivot points on the swing arm which allow the rack to move out of the way of the vehicle tail gate. I put light layer of wheel bearing grease on these before installation, though the manual did not call for it. The pins look like they might have a teflon coating, however, the grease will help repel water in the future. Everything moves easily with a full load of bikes. I also applied thread locking compound to the nuts on the pins, they have plastic lock washers on the nuts, however, road vibration can eventually work these loose (I used to be an automotive engineer, btw.) The nuts and bolts are 19 mm, using a socket wrench and a box wrench during installation will be much easier than the wrenches supplied with the rack.
Loading the bikes is simple. Thule also provides four very effective anti-sway brackets to keep the bikes from rocking. A nylon strap comes with the rack as a final measure to secure everything. The rack comes with an integrated locking cable for the bikes which tucks neatly into the frame. As another reviewer mentioned, this will probably slow down a thief not prevent one who is intent on stealing your bikes so you may want to invest in a Kryptonite lock and cable.
The rack mounts to 2" hitch receiver. Make sure your car has a 2" hitch or an adapter before buying this rack. Now here's the tricky part: the rack is bolted into the hitch. The bolt goes through the hitch and threads into the rack. It is very easy to improperly align the bolt and the threads, thus ruining the bolt/threads. I almost did this. Just be careful lining everything up. The bolt should thread with little resistance. If the bolts is in slightly and you are having trouble tightening it, take it out and check to make sure the threads are not boogered up.
Do not underestimated the convenience of a swing out rack! This is worth the extra $100 to $150 you pay for this rack. The first time you leave something in the back of your car you will be glad you have this feature. Enjoy.
