The products reviewed below have many of the same features such as bike anti-sway, locks, and fold down/tilt down. Prices are based on 4 bike capacity/2” hitch receiver. The Hollywood Road Runner clearly stands out as the best value, and is the only one of the four to include a secondary frame anti-sway system.
