I have a lifted 09 Tacoma. Ramps are fine for a small kids light bike by yourself. A Hawk or similar is difficult even with two.
I have a hitch mount as well. However, the truck is pretty high and even with the hitch mount it's hard to get up on it because the loading ramp is too short.
Got a motorcycle carrier then with a tilt bed. Laughable to get bikes on it (too much tilt then slams down). So I put down boards in between the rails (to walk bikes up), then took my Harbor Freight ramps and notched them to fit in the ends of the trailer. Now I have a nice long easy way to get even a big bike on the trailer. Problem solved.
Look on FB, people are always selling small trailers. I paid $350 for mine
