Mine is mounted on a 4th gen but I think all these things apply. I love mine! The main reason I got it was to haul bikes on camping trips and not have to fuss around and unload them to access the cargo space. I got mine right when they were released, so reliability-wise - top notch!

Since I'm using a 1-up rack, I wanted to recenter the rack. I got this to recenter the rack. I mount it sideways and drilled some new holes for the pin. No issues at all.

I also ran some license plate wires internally. I'm sure it's not recommended, but it works great and is super clean.

And I also use this to haul water or gas, depending on the trip.
