Tesla Hitch Rack and Ski/Snowboard Carrier - user reviews?

Hi all,

I did do a search on this topic before posting and did not see anything.

I would not recommend. Had for 7 years but it's a rusted piece o junk now. Also it's large and awkward as it's basically a useless bike rack. I just purchased this for skis and snowboards so I'll let you know if it's any good.

Also, for bikes I'd use a one up bike rack or North Shore Rack if you're curious.
