I've carried bikes for probably 50k miles and never had a problem and one of my bikes is a 46 pound e-brick.
So the hitch they put on was the Curt, rebranded for uhaul. Based on the hardware they left on the car, they installed one of the spacers under the frame rather inside. This shifted the whole assembly down about 1/8 inch so there was no clearance.

Now they left a rattle in my exhaust and refused to fix it. Told me to file a claim against their insurance.

I have my mechanic working on the exhaust now. Trying to decide whether to try the Curt again with a competent installer or get the Slambert. I'm leaning towards the latter, but am worried about the strength of the tow hook.
