Would not recommend this. Those tend to let the bikes "sway" back and forth and crash into each other, don't really accept non-triangle frames (unless you buy an adapter for your frame, more $), with 3 bikes the tend to start sagging and put a lot of leverage on the car due to the distance from the hitch, "tray" style hitch racks are better in every regard, more secure, less leverage (shorter lever arm), etc. Those hanging style racks were designed in the late 80s and early 90s, and they've been about the same ever since. I think you can pick up a decent swagman hitch rack for just a bit more. Would recommend that. Also, unless you have a big truck with heavy springs, 3-4 bikes on a hitch rack starts to really shift the weight backwards, a northshore rack is usually the better idea at that point if you really want to take a bunch of bikes every time (otherwise, it's not worth the gymnastics to get the bikes up there).

does it compare ok to the others of this style though..... like Tule parkway ?

I have a similar, all steel Yakima along with a roof rack (I haul a lot of bikes on my car). As said above, triangle fit can be an issue and really loading up a rack like that can give your vehicle a funky ride.

Imagine two bikes on the roof and two out back on a late model, base Impreza... that's me every Thursday from May-November... ha. Not the funnest 30min drive, but it works.

My air dam on my roof rack is INNO... it's been very good. About 3yrs old now.

dont think i have to worry about the vehicle driving bad with it. I have a 2010 Nissan Titan truck. and i dont want to just put the bikes in the bed because i want to be able to use the bed for other gear and such

Did you end up getting it? I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on one for my 4runner. Getting tired of putting both bikes up on top. I'll just sell the Inno fork lock II that I've been using and go with the Inno hitch rack. My buddy uses a similar hitch rack and with the bikes locked in and with the anti-sway latches the bikes are solid. They don't move at all.
