Overall a Good Bicycle Carrier : Thule 915XT Roadway 5 Bike Hitch Carrier
I purchased a Thule (though Amazon) because I have been an avid bicycle enthusiast for the last 25 years and have come to trust their products. Out of the box, the carrier took me maybe all of 5 minutes to set up; this carrier is simple and well made. I gave the product four stars based on the fact that this is sold as a 5 bicycle carrier, however, to actually mount all 5 bikes you would have to remove wheels or pedals to get them close enough to one another to fit into the mounting brackets. That's not a huge deal, but then again, I don't want to spend an hour loading/unloading bikes every time I take the family out for a ride. The following is a roll-up of the good and the bad with this system:
The Good -
1. Easy to assemble and mount
2. Thule "quick release" system allows you to raise and lower the rack quickly; my Honda Ridgeline tailgate can be lowered the traditional way with the rack in the lowered position, however, there is still not enough room for the tailgate to be opened laterally (this is not a problem for most pick-ups)
3. Rubber bands used to secure the bikes are easy to use and will not allow the bikes to "sway" into one another
The Bad -
1. Like many other models, this rack requires a screw to be mounted through the trailer hitch instead of the locking pin that most people use to keep their ball hitch from being stolen. Thule sells their own locking screw in lieu of the bolt, but that's more money and should be figured into the overall price of the rack. A work-around is there are two metal loops at the bottom of the rack. I plan on running a bike lock through the loops and then through the safety chain receiver on the truck.
2. As other people have stated, it is difficult to actually mount 5 bikes on this rack. The work-around is to remove wheels and/or pedals based on the characteristics of the bikes you are planning to haul. Not a big deal for a long-haul, but not great for just "around-the-neighborhood" transportation. If you want to haul three bikes, it's too easy.
3. The lateral anti-sway brackets are made in such a way that they could eventually fall off if you don't take the time to ensure that they are still locked on correctly. As for now with a new system, the brackets are still too "stiff" to move freely, but over time and a lot of use, I could see how they could eventually loosen up and then fall off when not in use and driving on a rough road or trail.
Overall I like this system and recommend it for potential buyers; the system secures the bikes well and will not allow your bikes to be damaged in transient. Just be aware that loading more than three bikes will take more time, practice, and patience.
12 November 2011 (update)
I have owned this carrier now for about 3 years with no issues, however; if you have duel suspension bikes, you will need the adapter to use a top tube mounting system (like this one). If you own/transport duel suspension bikes, I would consider the platform systems instead. Also, spend the extra money and get the swing arm. You'll be happy, especially as you watch me download my stuff to open the tailgate.
