I purchased this rack from REI (couldn't wait for Super Saver Shipping, and shipping costs made it about the same price) for taking two mountain bikes down on a vacation. Putting it together is easy, putting it on and adjusting it took a bit of time, but I was also a bit paranoid about releasing two bikes into traffic on I-95. I had it strapped to an '05 Nissan Xterra and over the course of a five-hour or so, mostly highway driving, the bikes didn't move at all. When I stopped for gas halfway through the trip, the rack didn't even require any tightening. It was a tight fit getting both bikes on there, and I had to adjust the mounts to push them closer to the truck. One of the bikes is a GT, and the way the frame is below the seat post (the "triple triangle" design I believe they called it) made it not fit too snugly, but the strap and anti-sway bracket did a good job securing the bike.
I didn't notice any damage to the paint, which was the only thing that worried me about the rack. Overall, I would recommend the rack.Get more detail about Thule 910 Passage 2-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Carrier.
