I had to stare awkwardly at my shoes for a while before springing for this Thule product when others that cost less were available. But I figure I’ll likely own only one of those puppies, which reduces the window for recovery from a bad choice. So I sprang not only for the Thule but for the three-bike as opposed to the two-bike option.
Nearly five thousand road miles later, I’m not only satisfied. I’m impressed.
We own a pickup and a sedan, each of which is equipped with a different one of the conventional tow-hitch sizes. The Thule handles the transition effortlessly and securely. There is simply no discernible ‘slip’ or other movement when this career is installed in either of the two vehicles.
The in-and-out hanging of the three bikes is extremely quick work, and more secure than I would have imagined possible.
Through no fault of the manufacturer (the culprit shall remain unnamed), I ended up with one too few of the anti-sway attachment. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that Thule replacement parts are available quickly and and for a song from http://www.etrailer.com, a Missouri supplier.
Honestly, I never imagined that $400 would solve bike-transporting needs with this much style and dependability.
