These are two platform rack options I'm considering since they are sold in Canada and I don't want to mess around driving to the states to pick up something American made. Anyone have experience with both of these?

I’ve seen the guide rail in person at a shop and they’re really slick. I got a 1Up hitch rack because it was half the price and same quality, guessing they don’t sell in Canada?
I have a guiderail and my buddy has the rad rack. Both are pretty good, I don’t think you can really go wrong with either.
I do like that the guiderail doesn’t have straps or extra dangly bits, and it has the beefiest locking chain I’ve ever seen on a rack, but the higher weight capacity of the rad racks is nice if you have or plan to get an e bike. Same with the loading ramp.
Two things I wish the guiderail had would be tool less install and tire size adjustments. I just ended up keeping the right size wrenches and allen keys in my truck though…
I ended up getting mine for 20% off around mid August last year, so maybe keep an eye on sales for the next month and see if you spot one.
I received my P2 Pro about a month(?) ago now. I’ve only used it twice so far, but quite like it. Obviously too early to guess how long it will last, but everything feels super solid and I expect it to last me quite a while.
I was certainly a little nervous choosing due to the lack of reviews out there, but felt confident based on the positive reviews for their other products. I’m happy with my choice.
