I have a harbor freight aluminum version with a ramp that folds up for the basket side. Rides just a little low and touched the drive sometimes due to the departure angle. (I could solve that light touch with a tapered grind to the support post from the reciever. It's steel, and runs to the back of the carrier. There is no need to unload it and store it at hotels, just use a locking hitch pin and don't worry about it.
Mine has a 300lbs rating, and is used for my wife's mobility scooter. I drive a Ford f150 and need to drop the ramp to lower the tailgate, but otherwise it clears the basket by close to a foot, I think.
I cut and welded a hitch extender to raise the unit about 3", but found it made it rock a bit, so stopped using it. No issues with police problems, and it has been in use for at least 3 years, so far.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
