Title: pivot lock broke. too long to tow tent trailer.
Review: We really liked that this rack locked to the car, and locked the bikes. However, the pivot lock that allows it to swing down so you can get into the back of the minivan/SUV broke, so it no longer swings down. We've only had it a year or so. Also, the main reason we bought this was to carry 4 bikes and then pull the tent trailer from that, and the design is all wrong. It's too long. We tried to pull our light tent trailer, and unless you're a monster truck (we've got a minivan), the safety chains don't have enough slack and got ripped off when driving--there's not enough arch available under the car for the chain, due to the length of the chain needed... (maybe if they had welded loops for the safety chain to the end of the extended hitch [if that's legal])...
