 Be carefulOct 28, 2008
By gfoots
We purchased this product so we could haul 4 bikes at the same time we are towing a popup camper. The tow vehicle is a 2008 Aspen SUV. In that situation there are some options but they are limited. We also wanted something we could use whether or not we are towing the camper, so a camper-mounted rack was out. The good news is that 4 bikes fit on the rack with very little problem - I rotated the handlebars on bike #1 90 degress to help the puzzle fit but that was the only modification. The bad news is, when we arrived at our destination there was some damage to the rear door of our vehicle, where the lower bar rests. That is a lot of weight, and apparently that part of the door could not handle it. There are a couple small dents, which are not exceedingly hideous but are noticable. I am considering adding some kind of buffer to that area, something that can absorb / distrubute the weight without incurring further damage to the door. Anybody have any suggestions?

 Review of Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk RackJul 17, 2008
By B. Kendrick
I purchased this in June 2008 to carry 4 mountain bikes, mainly for use on the back of my 4Runner while towing a tent trailer to some mountain camping areas. I went this route rather than purchasing a roof mounted bike rack on the car or trailer for a couple reasons. First, the roof mounted racks were too high for my wife to get the bikes on / off, and we wanted the versatility of using the racks with or without the trailer.
The setup was very straightforward. Just unfolded the unit out of the box, and attached it to the rear of the car with the two top straps. Then adjusted to the correct height, and attached and adjusted the other straps. The unit is heavy, a good thing as it is also very strong and seems to easily deal with the weight of 4 bikes. We fit the 4 bikes with no issues, and used it to go camping a couple weeks ago. We went over 200 miles, sometimes over rough terrain and bumps, and the rack performed fine throughout.

Wow, great product!Feb 12, 2007

When you consider all the steps to assemble it, it's actually very simple. I get easily frustrated with instructions, and these were pretty good.
The product is solid. I use it on a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country and have no problems. Even though it says not to do so, I'm able to open my tailgate with it attached. I use it with 2 adult bikes, 1 kid's bike, and 1 bike trailer (the 1-wheel type that hook on the back of an adult bike).
I looked hard for the right 4-bike mount rack, and I'm overjoyed with this one. Now if I can just move from LA to a safer place before someone steals my bikes from my rack while we're in In-n-Out...

Affordable, user friendly 4 bike rack!Jul 18, 2007
By Kathleen Beil
This rack is easy to install but quite a bit heavier than the one I already own. Very sturdy and secure with all the attachment straps and tie-downs. We bought foam tubing to cushion/protect bikes at contact points. I recommend this rack if you need a 4 bike carrier and don't have a trailer hitch.

 minivan owners bewareJan 24, 2009
By Savvy shopper
We read all the reviews before purchasing. All but one seemed to be very good, so we figured the one bad review had just installed the item improperly. We wished that we had listened! We installed the rack on our minivan and double checked it to make sure all was sturdy. We were only traveling about 2 miles and only carrying 2 bikes, but the portion of the rack that was against the top part of the hatch completely crushed the car hatch and the bikes were nearly falling off the vehicle. This product should not be used on a minivan!!!!! We have quite a bit of damage for a 2 mile ride and needless to say we are returning the item for another car rack. If you own a minivan, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!
