@@Sherides2adv no thank you! I recently bought one because of your video! I'm a tiny single guy with a bad knee- and this saved me for even loading my vespa!
Looks like the DR650 with 6.6 gallon tank. 366lbs stock plus a bit more for fuel so close to 400lbs. Not cheap but I do like the ramp style. Thanks for this better view.
You can buy direct from the Alex who makes them at ultimatemxhauler.com/ or another option is mojomotosport.com/products/ultimate-mx-hauler-motorcycle-carrier-ramp-yamaha
The unit is designed to load one way, but you could offload either way if you want to although, generally speaking, backing it out would be the easiest way.
It is a stout unit that comes in two pieces: the hydraulic mechanism and the platform (rail). According to the site, each piece is less than 40 lbs. I’ve never weighed it, but I’d say not much less than that (40 lbs) for each piece.
You could open the back when it's in the down position, but you'd have to tilt the bike a little for clearance. You cannot open while it is all the way up (also, be sure to shut the hatch before loading - seems obvious, but I have managed that mistake.). Ideally, you want to load the bike last before heading out.
The installation instructions are available online in a pdf format that you can print out. You can follow this link to them. ultimatemxhauler.com/downloads/UMX_RampAssembly.pdf
I do have a question. Let's say you went out riding and you came back in. Put your bike on the rack and your 1st pump your jack seal blows out and you're by yourself with the nobody else around?
It's important to care for your equipment and do inspections before heading out. That said things can still go wrong. I carry a spare jack. It's cheap insurance.
@@Sherides2adv That's awesome😃 I didn't know the Jack is that easily Replaceable, great idea😊 I've been shopping around I have a Toyota Tacoma with a camper shell So looking for something that I don't have to completely take a part to sleep in the back of the truck if I'm traveling. It's either that or put a front hitch on the truck, don't No if I want to do that🤔 Thank you for your video.
I selected the ramp for ease of use. I'm short and wanted to be able to load the bike by myself, especially after a long day of riding where I many be fatigued.
No, you can't. When I first got it, I left the hatch open and loaded the bike only to find out, or notice, that you can't open/close while towing. Woops. Rookie error.
@@ryanheidenfeld6433 Not easily. You'd have to loosen and tip the bike to the side. I don't find it to be a huge deal. My back window goes down so I can easily reach in for items. You just have to pack first and pack according to accessibility needs.
Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this! Nice job with the demonstration. Appreciate you showing the dismount as well.
Thank you. I hope it helped.
This vid was clearer to see the product and loading than the MFG vid- great job
Thank you!

The quality and ease of use really makes it worth while.
Great video, exactly what i was looking for!
Excellent!
Hi cutie I love your set up , starting with you, the Toyota 4 runner , the hitch set up and last the moto. You get 10 out 10. Thank you.
Good video.
Thanks for the video….. where did you get the little ramp?….. i’m gonna need that…. where did you get it at

Thanks for the great video! Is that a factory trailer hitch, what is the tongue weight limit? Thanks, Randy
Yes that is a factory tow package. The tongue weight limit is 500 lbs.
As an option, could you role the bike off going forward?
The unit is designed to load one way, but you could offload either way if you want to although, generally speaking, backing it out would be the easiest way.
I am thinking of maybe getting this carrier..still working for you well? Thanks 😊
It is well-built and worth every penny. It makes loading easy, which is welcomed after a long day of riding.....or any other time.
What is the platform weight ? They don’t seem to publish it. Thanks and great review !
It is a stout unit that comes in two pieces: the hydraulic mechanism and the platform (rail). According to the site, each piece is less than 40 lbs. I’ve never weighed it, but I’d say not much less than that (40 lbs) for each piece.
Are you still able to open the trunk? while mounted ( while the hydraulic Is still on the ground)
You could open the back when it's in the down position, but you'd have to tilt the bike a little for clearance. You cannot open while it is all the way up (also, be sure to shut the hatch before loading - seems obvious, but I have managed that mistake.).

I just got mine in the mail but have no idea how to put it together I did not get an instruction manual. Do yo I know where I could find one?

How did your trip go? Any problems with the lift? Car handle OK?
I do have a question. Let's say you went out riding and you came back in. Put your bike on the rack and your 1st pump your jack seal blows out and you're by yourself with the nobody else around?

@@tjhoss6729 I'm pulling a trailer now and have a hitch on the front for my smaller bike. Utilizing the back is better, if you can.
Why did u select Ramp vs platform MX Hauler?
I selected the ramp for ease of use. I'm short and wanted to be able to load the bike by myself, especially after a long day of riding where I many be fatigued.
How about the big gs adventure bike can is carry it ?
Unfortunately, no. The GS is too heavy. The maximum load on this carrier is approx. 450 lbs.
Can you please post link as to where to buy the ramp?
Here is the website ultimatemxhauler.com/?SR2 Give them a call if you have any questions - He's very helpful.
Do you have links for ramp? Also some people suggest to anchor the bike from the fork clamps, not the bars
Here is the link to the site ultimatemxhauler.com/?SR2. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll look into it.
Can you open the hatch on your 4 runner?
No, you can't. When I first got it, I left the hatch open and loaded the bike only to find out, or notice, that you can't open/close while towing. Woops. Rookie error.
How about with the bike lowered, can the hatch open?
