The pictures in his thread tempt me to NOT put a hitch on my Journey. I love the sporty look of them. However function trumpets form for me in most occasions.
We have a bike mount that secures to the glass via straps exactly like in post 4 and it is fairly stable. That being said if/when we get a hitch I will be adding a bike rack to it. Installation takes longer when you have a ton of straps!
