Yes, I use the receiver for our bike rack. I did have a big problem with the bike rack not holding the bikes in position. I think with all the movement, it loosened their position and when we got to our destination, the two bikes were at a 30 degree angle. Lucky, no damage to the Montana. Since this experience, I have added a vertical bracket with straps that prevents movement. I should mention that our bike rack supports the bikes from the tires and not the frame. Just got back from a 700 mile trip and the revised bike rack worked perfect. You must try to restrict movement in all directions. Hope this helps.
