I decided to purchase the KUAT Sherpa 2.0 2" as I prioritized weight as #1critera after sturdy/quality for easy on/off as I will be the one lifting. I looked at Thule, Yakima, & Swagman. Thule and Yakima were just too heavy for me (5'5" adequately mobile late 50's). Even LBS specialist said he had dropped carrying displays as they were too heavy and too $$$ (translate not selling). The Swagman I could not even lift the box with both arms wrapped around it! The new KUAT Sherpa 2.0 model "just in" stock looks to be a little sleeker for folded position and off hitch storage, and they have modified the tilt lever to be foot triggered optional. Time will tell on how this feature performs/gets used. I think they have modified the lock as well to integrate with the platform bar but I have yet to see reality other than promo video. I could only find one in stock in the US it is so new. By August 2016 it should be in stock everywhere- all the same pricing across many web stores - yes expensive, but I am hopeful to be completely satisfied.
