Not Worth the Investment

As my tests showed, this cargo management product failed to live up to its advertised advantages. While it may offer some level of convenience for certain vehicles, the overall design and functionality were lacking. The only pro I could find was the easy installation process. However, the cons vastly outweighed any benefits, including poor stability and a high risk of damage to both the vehicle and the cargo being transported. Save your money and look for something more reliable.

Pros
  • Easy installation and conversion of existing hitch into a V-shaped rack for carrying bicycles
Cons
  • May require additional purchase of a hitch if one is not already installed on vehicle

Strong enough to be converted into a truck or trailer

However as mentioned in the review there is a socket head machine screw to prevent the installation of matching hitches or cargo carriers This leaves come off easily and this adapter is made of a material strong enough that the only real hurdle is drilling a properly aligned and sized hole for the coupling pin. After that, I installed a rack that holds 300 pounds using this adapter (we tested it!), and thanks to this adapter, the specified rack is able to stand a few inches off the curbs, and…

Pros
  • Powder coated to resist rust and corrosion
Cons
  • Expensive

Does the job for VRack from 1 1/4 to 2 no.

I ordered a hitch installed and was planning on using a V-Rack bike rack along with a small rear hitch rack.

It's barely enough to get my little dart off the bumper. My first pre-purchase impression was that I could fit a weight holder in the 2" end, but it's not designed for that and has a thin screw inside to prevent extra use. The little…

Pros
  • Exceptional strength and rigidity.
Cons
  • Negative impression.
