Yakima SwingDaddy 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

Yakima SwingDaddy 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack- an error in the first assembly instruction forced me to call the store to see how the hitch bolt and washers went in
- it's VERY difficult to screw in the swing-out arm each time you open it. the salesperson took over five minutes to do it, and it still took me three minutes on my 3rd try.
- the hitch pin lock doesn't fit with the cotter pin on [no biggie, but the instructions say to put the pin on first]
- it includes two tools that fit the arm bolt, but not one for the hitch bolt
- although the Yakima book said it would fit on my 2007 Toyota RAV4, it didn't [because of the external spare tire], so I had to get an extension piece for the hitch or return the rack [which I did, so I can't tell you how it actually works.the salesperson said it works well, but that you can only get 3 bikes on it]
- the built-in cable bike lock doesn't slide into its slot, so 15" of it sticks out
