Works.
I got one of these today. It took 30 minutes to install in the bed of my truck. Works just like it should. Easy in and out. Lock works. It is only strong enough to keep honest people from stealing it. If you rocked it hard enough you could destroy it or rip the bike out of it. I work with metal. Its aluminum and its nice...but they aren't bulletproof. I would imagine there are bad ones, parts cut or bent just enough out of tolerance to make it useless. Mine works great though. Holds a big aluminum Giant Yukon in the back of my truck even with the way I drive.

Beware that you get the right part
I am moving my bike and needed this in a two day period. I ordered it Wednesday night and got the mount on Friday so that is good. I haven't installed it yet, but I am already disappointed. That is mostly directed to Amazon and how they have the page laid out. You see, I went to purchase the Yakima locking blockhead. On the page it has "Select Size" and has two sizes - 1) One Size and 2) 9x11.75x1. One size is $20 cheaper. That is apparently because it is not the locking blockhead but the regular. Now I either have to return it (but I have to have it tomorrow) or buy the locking spindle for 30$ and a lock for $20. So I am in for $25 more than if I had picked the right product.
Shame on Amazon for having such a poorly designed page. I will be talking to customer service next.
BIKE FORK
I purchased the small one as I use it for my Nissan Frontier(TITAN ALSO WORKS) bed rail system. I purchased it without knowing it would fit and luckily it is the perfect fork mount to attach to my trucks bed rail system.It doesn't have a lock but if you don't plan in leaving your bike in the car, truck, etc it's just perfect. Good construction and appearance.
