We have a hitch rack. I think it's the Yakima. I like it because being short I don't have to try and lift them onto the top of my Honda Pilot. The arm also folds down when not in use so you don't have the arms sticking out. We've had up to five bikes on it no problem. The biggest reason I like the hitch rack, I can go into Dunkin Ds for my Ice coffee and not worry about knocking the bikes off the top on the overhang.
