Sorry for all the questions I'm about to hit you with:

Do you have information (brand, model) on the hitch-mounted bike rack you have? I need to get a lightweight tow hitch installed on our Ford Escape Hybrid (it's not a factory option, due to the low towing capacity), and I've been keeping my eye on hitch-mounted racks on eBay. The big cost for me is the hitch and installation, not so much the rack, but if it'll be compatible with my future hitch I'd be interested in taking it off your hands, if you're looking to sell it. I'd need info though so I can make sure it'll work with the lightweight hitch I am looking at getting.

Even if you aren't interested in selling, the brand and model info would be useful in my quest for a good hitch-mounted bike rack. Does it carry a single or multiple bikes, btw?

Incidentally, I have a Saris Bones 2 bike rack for sale -- carries one or two bikes and mounts to one's trunk (sedans/sports cars) or SUV/van liftgate/rear door. It's pretty much brand new since it was used for a couple months prior to us getting an "InstaGator" truck bed-mounted rack for our F-150 pickup. We used the Saris Bones rack on our '92 Corolla, but I haven't mounted it to our Escape Hybrid. I'd prefer a hitch mount for convenience now that I have a larger vehicle.
