7/9/18 The Double Down is built very solid and works as advertised. I gave it 4 stars because it is advertised as 51 inches from the hitch to where the bikes attach. It is very difficult to get exact measurements for any of the bike racks out there. I needed a fairly tall rack as I was tired of pulling my front tire off every time I traveled with my bikes (they hang low). It is only 40 inches from the hitch to the horizontal bar. It is approximately 52 inches off the ground when attached to the receiver on my Honda Odyssey which is approximately 12 inches from the ground. Fortunately, this was enough height for my bikes so that I do not need to remove my front tire every time I go biking. Additionally it was unclear if you could attach it with a pin or whether you needed to bolt it to the hitch. I would have liked the pin as it is easier to put on an take off, however use of a bolt is required as the hitch has threads on the inside where the pin goes. It attaches pretty solid but there is still some wobble as you are driving down the road. I am leaving it on my minivan for the season, which actually saves me time attaching it and removing it every time I bike (twice a week). I am worried that I might get a ticket for obstruction of the license plate but I have not been bothered yet. A state trouper pulled behind me about 3 days ago and did not pull me over. We will see if I make it through till fall without a ticket.8/12/18 Update. I really like this bike rack. I leave it on my minivan all season so no need to put on and take off every time I ride. I am attaching pictures of my bikes on the rack so you can see how high it is. Our bikes hang really low and there is still plenty of clearance. It is on the back end of a 2015 Honda Odyssey. I changed my rating from a 4 to a 5.

The 4 star rating is because the rubber tiedowns are hard to attach. Not bad enough to return the rack, but annoying because my fingers hurt after pulling so hard to get the peg in the hole.I also use the strap provided to give extra safety and support, but the extra bungees I bought made a bigger different in keeping the front wheels from moving and helping to secure my wife's bike to the rack. BTW, the extra adapter for ladies bikes works well, especially with the bungees.My subject line tells the story of my biggest disappointment.... I got a ticket for parking my car in front of my home with the rack installed. The rack is bolted to the hitch, which makes it very stable, but also not a trivial task to take off. I'm fighting the ticket, but I don't expect to win. The traffic enforcement people and the speed cameras here on Staten Island are unavoidable tax collectors here who are not really concerned about safety or public health by encouraging more bike riding, They are just getting more revenue for the City. The hitch installed might interfere with their ability to fine me with their speed cameras (eve though we have to have front plate here in NY). Being bolted onto the hitch is not a knock on the product - as it is very safe - but it does make it inconvenient to remove.

Rattles like crazy and not suitable for any off-road use. Seller was being extremely difficult in regards to return the item and trying to get out of paying full refund.
