Pros & Cons
Pros
Putting bikes on and off the rack is a cinch. Rack has 3 positions to access tailgate. Holds our bikes very well and doesn't scratch them up like my old one that clamped onto the frame.

Highlights
Quality
The rack installs easily with the instructions
I was super impressed with the sturdiness of it as well
With the hitch bolt tightened properly there is very little movement of the rack
Reading reviews about shaking poor customer service nothing seemed to be quality at any price
Price
The price was reasonable and the reviews okay
Even though the reviews were limited i did not find anything negative out there about it and jumped on it when i saw the price
Most racks in this price point have that included
Packaging/appearance
Was able to compare the kuat transfer 3 and westslope 3
After searching around and reading a ton of reviews i stumbled on the rockymounts westslope
Competitiveness
You can separately purchase a lockset to lock your rack up that comes with 2 padlocks and a 10mm cable
Thanks rockymounts for creating an affordable highquality rack
That maybe true for kuat 1up yakima thule etc but rockymounts has made a mockery of that idea

Assembly was simple but i ran into an issue with one of the three allen bolts used to bolt the front wheel cup to the right arm
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The allen bolt partially threaded on the front wheel cup but then began spinning without tightening or loosening
