Does it mount to the tow hooks like the Gowesty one?  I just can't see hanging 4 bikes cantilevered off the tow hooks.

If you just want a hitch to use with your existing bumper I suggest you check with list member Dennis Haynes. Dennis
builds a sturdy hitch that should do the job nicely and is competitively priced. I installed one last summer and am very
pleased with it.
