Pros & Cons
Pros
Swing away feature clears the side of the truck and the tailgate easily open to full open. We have it on the back of our sprinter camper and the swing out is perfect of the back door. Engineered to allow easy access to van. I have a 2019 tacoma with a... Read More
The rack locks the bikes down really well, it folds up as well as any other racks and it's easy to take off and put on even at 60 lbs. Our bikes fit on and are snugly secured. Once done the rack is a breeze to fold up out of the ways. Must have for sa... Read More
They supply a cable with a lockable attachment to the rack. Comes with a spare handle for the one that secures the mount to prevent swinging out. Same key can be used to unlock the cable from the bikes.

It wobbles a little as we go down the road but seems sturdy. With the anti-rattle hitch, does not rattle or vibrate.

Highlights
Quality
Very well made and easy to assemble
Works great very safe and moves very tightly
Visibility is unobstructed while backing up and highway driving you don’t even know it’s there
Whoever designed this needs a huge raise and some serious kudos
Price
A bit pricey but worth every penny
It is pretty expensive but i was willing to pay the price for the convenience
I had to gulp when paying 750 for a bike rack😮
Shipping
The rack was well packaged and arrived unscathed via ups
Packaging/appearance
The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 one downside is that the rack arrived in the packaging with a bent component brand new
I was pleasantly surprised to see the more expensive metal locks included in the box already
Unboxed and setup the rockymounts backstage rack tonight
Competitiveness
Thule and yakima sell platform racks and they sell swingarm attachments but to buy both parts will set you back 800 or more
The price point hardware and rocky mounts warranty beats out the european brands for sure
I looked at thule and yakima racks but this was the only platform rack with integrated swingarm

But its a tall rack that puts your bikes way up above the hitch height

At least a foot above the hitch

If your hitch is low like under the bumper low youll be fine

If your hitch isnt really low be forewarned

Even if the bikes fit into the garage getting them on off the rack is going to require more work
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
With this being said the rack is also pretty heavy

I have an avalanche with two more viper racks up top
