Very well made and sturdy. The quick release fold down works GREAT! 2 things Yakima should redesign: First, give the customer the option of using their own locking hitch pin (only Yakima's will fit). Using the included non-locking pin (that is threaded) involves using a wrench and lots of turning--not exactly quick release but not secure either. Secondly, as others have pointed out, the pivot point consists of a long bolt and nut that can be defeated easily by a ne'er-do-well evil-doer. The locking pin/cable combination sold as an accessory for this rack will not secure your bikes against loss--the only effective way is to use a long cable that goes from the bikes to the hitch itself. Five stars for the durable construcion and functionality, minus one each for the two serious design flaws. Would I buy it again? Probably, unless I found another one as well built that addressed these two problems.
