This is a really nice product. Love how sturdy it is and how solid it is attached into the hitch, does not move.
The drop down feature works very well and lets me open my SUV gate. My SUV window clears just fine to open while it’s up.
I like the THULE anti sway and holders a bit better, (they seem to hold a bit better) but these work fine. I also like the two removable arms better than the fold down on the competition. Specifically it keeps people from swiping your rubber tie downs and the arms dont get all gunked up with dirt and road grunge.
I had my rack shipped to me and one of the plastic anti sways had cracked in transit. An email to customer service and I had TWO free replacements with straps in a few days. That is service! I’m very happy with my Softride. Oh, it looks cool too.
