The touring bike pic that you show looks good, but the driveway has a huge decent, perfect for loading a bike, not many people out there has a driveway like that, also the ramp looks like its flexing ALOT and the tailgate looks like the cables are getting ready to snap. Your product looks like its screwed to the tailgate, I don't think I would want to put holes in my new pickup just to mount a ramp. The possibility of taking a mis step still exists, maybe add a non skid walking path on each side would improve what you have. Not trying to dis your product, its just not for me. I have a trailer for my use when the need arises. You never answered why you site directs you to amazon when you click buy now, this is the first site I have seen from a company that does this, don't look good brother.
I understand it is not for everyone. And I do appreciate your feedback. It truly is hard to understand the product without seeing it or experiencing it in person. As far as answering the Amazon link I did answer the question back with the other pictures but I'll go ahead and answer again for you. We just put up the NEW website that was completely redesigned and we are in the process of getting our eCommerce page set up. So for now we are directing to our Amazon link. Thanks for the feedback!

This safety item off of the website is a "NO GO" statement for me

6. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended tailgate load capacity.

A 750 pound touring bike will far exceed the load limit of any tail gate.

I've always put these on my trucks. the cables are the weak point and without a doubt will fail you when you least expect it.

Load my full dresser without issue or thought.
