Used to have a Man tga 18.313fllc

it was pretty handy for hauling bikes and stuff if a bit big when stored away.

I use this one from Cycle Gear:

I've had all the bike on it (except the Ural, of course), and it's worked out great. It could use some strengthening in some spots, but overall, it can't be beat for the money. I'm going to be fabricating a new ramp for it since it sits so high on the back of the Suburban, but that's on the back burner for a bit.

I got a Chinese hitch carrier that's similar to the ones from Cycle Gear. First thing I noticed was that the ramp wouldn't stay in place, so I drilled a couple of holes and put some 9 wire through the holes to hold it in place. I highly recommend to try loading a couple of times. I tried to load mine on my Dodge truck, and it's way too high to do by myself. I ended up with the front of the bike off the carrier against the tailgate. I then tried it on my Pathfinder, and it went up easily.
