I have both the 1-bike and the 2-bike version, 1000's of miles on them hauling 250lb dirt bikes every weekend, no problems. My truck has a front hitch, so I can haul 3 bikes at a time with no trailer. To prevent the wobble, I run an extra strap from the end of the bike wheel rails to the tow hooks on my bumper. Infinitely better and simpler than the silly 3-bolt "anti-wobble" device they give you.
Almost everything you complain about is part of the design or your own fault, for not reading or thinking. The attachment for the hitch is not to eliminate all movement and not made for a ROCK SOLID connection. It is to "reduce" wobble and sway. This carrier is also not made for big, heavy bikes. It is advertised to be used with small motorcycles, dirt bikes , e-bikes, etc... You complained about the welds and overall quality. Reminder...It's a $280 dollar carrier for two bikes. That's a hell of a deal. If you expected $2000 quality, you should've bought something else. Not having the straps already in place and not thinking ahead is your own damn fault...LOL. The long bolts are intended to make the large gap smaller, for smaller tires. Flip the ramp over when storing it. That will eliminate the vibration, while driving. I do agree. The ramp should be longer. But again, planning ahead can eliminate some of this. Park somewhere with a slight grade change, or on the edge of the street to reduce the angle of the ramp.

I will try the strap. Great idea.
You are great at this. Really funny as hell! I was laughing along with you.
Just trying to give honest review. Not much luck with amazon for me. Glad you like it.
