I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler with a rear mounted full size spare. I have a standard 2" trailer receiver. This bike rack fits perfect. It leaves a few inches of clearance between the tire and rack. The price was about $50.00 cheaper for a similar rack at other places. It seems pretty sturdy.It attaches to the receiver with a bolt and nut which are included. I would prefer to have a locking pin instead, which I will wind up getting. The rack has a drop down feature so you can lower the rack when it is in place and still open the rear hatch of your car. It's a nice feature but doesn't work with the wrangler, whose rear door swings out. Would probably be better with a hatch back. All in all, good for the money.
I usually carry two bikes on this particular carrier but I have had four bikes on there a few times. This rack can handle anything you throw at it. The only downfall to the rack is I can't open my rear gate with it. I have a Jeep Cherokee and while the rack clears the spare tire I have on the back, the hinge that allows the gate to fold down is to high for the tire gate to swing past. Other than that gripe I really do like the rack. Like the title says, super sturdy.
