Hitch Mounted - 5-6 Bike Carrier: Experience?

[3LMBBQ]

Anyone tried using one of these on their Bronco? Thinking of it for a trip to moab so we can bring the bikes. Family of 5.

We have a 5-bike holder Yakima rack that mounts like a 2-bike holder. It's is probably better than that one since I'm sure that one would stick over the roof and might be a little wind noisy.

The concern with any hitch rack on the bronco is the extension to get it out from under the spare tire.

I'm running a Northshore Racks NSR-4 bike rack mounted to a Kuat swing. Awesome setup but you'll be pushing it with 5-6 bikes and will have to forgo the swing. Swings are rated at 250# (iirc), rack is 50...leaves 200# for 6 bikes, or 33# each. Doable esp with kids bikes but cutting it close to the limit.
That being said, I love the setup. Velociracks is good, NSR is good, do your homework and let us know how it works out!
