We had that one too on our old PU. Great rack and it works well.

Those lower the weight capacity of the hitch, so you need to be mindful of that.

I have seen them work, but I have also seen them fail. I bought one, but after considering the weight reduction for the hitch, having a heavy tongue weight pup, and seeing a popup pulling into a neighboring site minus their bikes with the hitch extender broken at the welds, I decided not to use it. They had left the bikes on the side of the road and had to go back and get them after setting up the camper on the site. At least they noticed the bikes wobbling and removed them before they all fell off (and they were almost at the campground when it happened).

Agreed they are not meant for heavy towing. I have a small PUP so there's no issue. I could see them not being used for larger ones.

I used one of these (only a Reese version) for 5 or 6 years with my Coleman PUP:
