On sale for $149.99 at many sites; I like backcountry (link below)

Just finished a 500 mile trip w/2 of these bed mounted; mostly interstate driving. Slight shakes from wind but extremely solid and easy to use. I researched like crazy before I bought these last week in prep for the trip and fortunately bought 2 used for $160 each in great condition. If anyone has been on the fence these are a no brainer for $150!

Nice, I have the one from Rivian. These look very similar but not identical. Do you know how they compare?

Yes, from my understanding the frontloader weighs a little less, has a slightly smaller footprint but also can not support as much weight as the highroad. The highroad also has the updated "clicky" knob to tighten. The Yakima Australian site has a good write up of how they compare.
