i have an 04 forester with a 1.25" receiver. currently using a Saris 2 bike rack; but would like to ad another 1 or 2 bike attachment. the 2 bike rack weights 46lbs; and 2 bike extender about 42. each bike weights 25-30 lbs. that is about 200 lbs. i am concerned not only about the weight itslef but where it is located; up to 3' off the back of the car. has any one used a 4 bike rack? what do you guys think about running 4 bikes? is it too mcuh weight?
2, 3 or 4 bike trailer rack

its all about the tongue weight, and from what i remember its around 200lbs, so your at your max now, i would try a search of tongue weight or bike rack to see what others are useing
on a side note they call me meathooks at school............i find that, mixed with your user name to be funny, how did you come by your name

ha ha its a name from when i was a kid.
my cousin always called me meat; like you meat whats up. he also drag races and had hooker headers on his car. we were at the races and i was making jokes about hooker headers and it kind of blossomed from there.
how'd you get your name?
im not the smallest guy in the world............lol and my teacher at the time just started calling me that, funny thing is that some kids hear my real name and are like wait your names steve???????
the rack weight would have to be cut in half or more to get another bike on there, its not the rack so much as the total tongue weight,
i'm leaning towards getting a roof rack as well; 2 on the roof 2 on the back
