You're welcome.

FYI, there's a chance the wheel locks may come keyed differently from the hitch bar lock -- although 1UP says they cannot accommodate later orders matching key numbers, there's a chance they might do so for you since you bought your rack so recently. Can't hurt to ask nicely.

Well, to late.... But, I did order a new hitch pin lock to go with the wheel locks, only around $12. So, they should all be keyed the same.

It takes about 1 minute to cut through any chain or lock shackle with an 18v cordless angle grinder with a $4 cut-off wheel. Locks may stop a casual thief but that is all it will do.

I have the 1Up Super Duty double rack and bought it because it was rated high enough for our two 70 lbs e-bikes and is rated for use with an RV. I got it with the 2" receiver as that is what has been on every truck and SUV I have bought over the past 50 years. 1-1/4 inch receivers may be put on a Prius or similar car but that also limits what racks are available as most are designed for use with a 2" receiver.

Two important advantages of the 1UP rack are that it supports the weight of the bike using its wheels and not the bike frame and the platform mount slopes up from the receiver. The inside bike is well above the receiver and the outside or rearmost bike is even further off the ground.

For security I use a bike alarm and a bike cover and a cargo net over the cover. A thief is going to spend more time removing the cargo net and then the bike cover before they can see if the bikes are worth stealing and by then they have most likely set off the alarm.

I am going to get installed a hitch receiver and uhual quoted me 288$ for 1 and quarter inch receiver . Is this bad choice for the size of the receiver ?

Keep in mind this is a 2 year old thread but in terms of U-Haul, they are not a great place to get a hitch installed. Cheap prices with lower quality product. If you can get a class III hitch that is the ideal. Look for something from Curt or Stealth Hitches/B&W if you can and find a local mechanic who can do it for you either your dealer or someone independent. If you are truly desperate or there is nothing else for miles and miles U-Haul does exist but if you can avoid them I would do that.

Uhaul is just an installer and they buy from people like Curt and are fine. As good as anywhere else other than doing it yourself anyway.

They typically aren't using Curt. The ones they use are of much lower quality, loads of paint flaking and rust. Maybe things have changed in the past year or two or they have been buying something special built for them from companies that aren't the same quality of their main racks which happens with some products.

The local U-haul wouldn't touch my car for the install since it was "modified" (I just had a different muffler), so I guess that's another consideration.

I have no idea. I was just offering my experience that using an adapter is not a meaningful drawback.
