Am looking at buying a hitch rack to carry 2-3 bikes on my subaru legacy wagon. The prices are between $75 and $150 generally between brands. Anyone have any insight as to the reliability of different brands? I've never bought or looked at racks before. I know Thule and Yakima are probably tops, anyone used thier hitch mounts? What about Bell and Allen, anyoner with experience using their hitch mounts? Thanks.
