Marc Weinberg: Easy tp put together takes a bit to tighten down all bolts as needed but very sturdy and well built for the $$ !!

Easy to assemble until you get to the anti-wobble block, the instructions don’t make any sense for that part. I finally figured out that you need to somehow keep the block in place inside the tube while you line everything up in the receiver hitch then they want you to use the supplied bolt as the pin, that screws in. I didn’t use it because that’s basically impossible to do, they should have tack welded the block in place, but it works fine without it. I have a 2500 truck with the larger receiver hitch that requires a spacer so I don’t think it would have fit anyway. Like I said, it works fine without the anti wobble block, I think that’s just a nice to have.
I just used this to for a 60 mile trip carrying a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 that weighs about 400 lbs, it worked great. I used 5 ratchet straps on the bike and it was very secure, no wobble or excessive shaking, I felt completely safe using it and we had no issues. I was sure to hook the straps to the chain holes on the receiver hitch as a replacement for the anti-wobble block and that was a good idea. It was very solid that way and since it was strapped on both sides it worked very well, I...

Does the job.
I transported my CRF250 without a problem on a compact SUV (subaru forester). Two hours trip, 100 miles, speed up to 80mph.
My hitch mount is low and had no problem with the ramp. Even unloaded the bike without the ramp right onto sidewalk curb.
All you will need is 4 tie downs to secure the bike to the rack.
Pros:
Fairly light but sturdy.
Easy assembly.
Good price, I paid about 85,00
Cons:
Anti tilt devise does not attach to mount, you have to align the holes and make sure pin goes thrugh both the carrier and the anti tilt device every time you install the carrier to the car.
Does not have lights or reflectors. I got some reflector tape and glued to the back and sides of mount. I also use reflecting tie downs.
Ramps does not click firmly to carrier when loading/unloading bike.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Works surprising well for the price! There are more expansive ones but I only needed this for a couple times moving my Suzuki GSXR600 and did not want to spend hundreds of $s. At first I was dubious about the stability; however, after some local roads and highway driving my confidence in it was increased. Obviously, you have to be careful with any aggressive turns, accelerating or braking but if you drive it carefully (as if you were pulling a trailer) you'll have no issues. The short ramp length was an issue since my sport bike fairings would have hit the crest if the ramp. I needed to prop the bottom of the ramp a few inches to clear the bottom of the fairings. I suggest that you also put a couple straps from the corners for the carrier to the top of your truck bed for added lateral support and piece of mind. 4 stars since the price is right for the features. It would have 5 stars at this price point if the instructions were more detailed and the ramp was longer.
Pros:
o Priced right
o Not difficult to assemble
o Works; especially for dirt bikes, scoots and 'higher' clearance bikes.
Cons:
o Ramp can be longer to clear lower sport...

Greg A.: It worked great carrying my KLX from Riverside to home. No real wobble or shaking. Super easy to assemble. Bring a friend when you put it on or take it of your truck / SUV.
