I chose that hitched rack because I didn't want a trunk lid one... and where I work there wasn't clearance in the parking garage if on the off chance I would bring it here for after work riding (but that was taken off the table because of possible theft). So, a hitch was only natural and I don't have a big car so a 2 bike rack on a 1 1/4 hitch was/is perfect. I have the hitch just waiting on the rack lol. Yakima is a well known brand so, I went with it for the time being and seeing that many people have it locally I felt more assured with the purchase.
