We have put many miles on this unit with two bikes attached and it is as stable today as the day I installed it on the trailer. It does take a bit of doing to get the front bike mounted, so I usually stand on my pickup tailgate to place and remove that bike. We have a topper on our pickup, but this rack and bikes pose no problem with turning and all. It is comforting to be able to see the bikes, instead of wondering what might be happening if they were rear mounted on the trailer, in my opinion.
Thanks Shane, you made my mind up for me.
