Very secure and easy to use.
By J. Lents
This is the first time we have ever transported bikes on our car and had asked several people which rack would be the best. After pricing this rack at a local bike shop and talking to the clerk we went on line and made the purchase and saved $40.00. The instructions could have been written clearer with pictures of the rack on different cars instead of pictures of people riding bikes. We had to tighten the straps a little at our first stop and checked them every time we made a stop but they went over 1,000 miles without a wobble. This rack worked great. You couldn't tell the bikes were on the car. Great price for a great product. We also purchased the bar to adapt the womens bike to fit the rack and it worked very well.

Great Bike Rack
By School Counselor
This was a great bike rack, be aware however that it is really designed for 4 adult bikes. With some creative positioning we are able to include my children's' bikes so it is possible.
We traveled 5 hours each way with the bikes and had no problems. There was very little movement and sway while driving with the bikes on the rack.

10 years of great hauling!
By K. Moy
I bought this rack at least 10 years ago, possibly 11 or 12. It has actually lasted longer than the Explorer I bought it for. I have it on a new Silverado now and it works like a champ. The release was originally appealing because the Explorer had the hatch style door and it allowed me to get into the cargo area without taking the bikes off. Now with the truck, I can still let down the bed gate and not have to take the bikes off the rack.
I have carried everything from mountain bikes to kids bikes to my big fat beach cruiser and it has had no problems with bowing or swaying.
Now the best part: I recently realized that I stripped one of the turn knobs that allows the bars to go up and down. I called customer service and they allowed me to drive over to their facility and pick up a replacement. How cool was that? A lot of these manufactures will not sell directly to the public, and they did with no problem. What's even better is; as I was standing out front putting on the part, the owner happened to come out to see if I needed help. He even gave me my money back stating stating that since I drove all the way over there and it was a little part, he wouldn't charge. I couldn't believe it! I tried to refuse, but he kept giving me back the payment! I was shocked!
The replacement part works great and I am a loyal customer for life. That type of service is unheard of these days. I was happy enough to just be able to get the part immediately. I know this rack will last another ten years, and hopefully I will be able to get other items from this company.

Capable and Easy!
By AF Family "Scott"
I had never used a hitch mounted bike rack, but bought the Hollywood HR400 on a recomendation from a friend. From taking it out of the box to having bikes on and ready to drive out of the driveway was less than an hour. The design makes the bikes stable, and easy to get on and off. The fold down arm gives good access to the back section of the vehicle, but watch out if you have 4 bikes on there, it tends to get heavy pushing it back into the driving position. If I had to, I'd buy the same product again!!
