Northern tool Ultra Tow hitch rack arrived.  200 lb rating.  Any one have experience with it?  Tips or issues.  Thx.

Very nice, I just had mine delivered a few days  ago but I haven't assembled it yet.
I took everything out of the box and I'll assemble it tomorrow but I have to say that it's very well built and it looks like it will be nice and sturdy too..!!
I found out that you can set it up as a single bike carrier, you don't necessarily have to set it up as a dual bike carrier which is nice.
Oh the places I'm gonna go now..!!!

I was impressed with the threaded tube for the threaded hitch pin to tighten up any wiggle in the receiver.  I may drill a second pin hole closer to the rack to reduce stand off distance from my truck tailgate.

I have purchased this rack, and have used it a couple of times before the Michigan snow set in. I like the rack, and have only added a tie strap from hitch through eyebolt at top then down to rear bottom to help with some of the bounce of the rack and ensure that nothing leaves the rack.

Glad to have found it as I was not ready to spend $400+ for a carrier.

Here is a link to the Northern Tool Bike Rack: https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-100322518-13340147?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northerntool.com%2Fshop%2Ftools%2Fproduct_200737700_200737700&cjsku=71514

It appears to be the same as another brand that sells it on Walmart.com. I did a review of this bike rack here so you can get a little better look at it and compare it to other brands like the Hollywood Racks: https://youtu.be/cGJ2fA9rm3E

Like a couple of others here I just received my rack a few days ago. Haven't assembled it yet but everything looks good out of the box. I'm hoping to put it together next week. Will report back!
