I really like the Teraflex hinge/carrier. I had a Mopar Bumper and carrier. On a couple of occasions it flew open while I drove. With the hinge, I don't have to think about it, and I only need one hand top open and close the gailgate. Also it stops on it's own, so I don't have to worry about that tail gate retainer that alot of people are breaking because the door opens too far.

Thanks for the input!

The ARB carrier also is one handed operation. I just think I want to get the opinions of folks.

The Tera uses the factory mounts, while the ARB mounts to the bumper, which is obviously connected to the frame.

I'm not saying either is better. I'm just trying to use common sense. Have the TF mounts been around long enough to say they are great? I'm just curious. The ARB Looks neat with a bumper mounted unit and one handed operation.
I should also say that with this purchase I probably will switch to a tire mounted bike carrier for mentioned reasons (one handed, one thing to open operation)

With that info is the ARB a better choice? I would again think ( this is just on my .02) is better because it is bumper mounted.

And being I have the new ARB bumper, should I just do the ARB carrier? I just don't want to buy problems. I have no knowledge if the system ARB uses to integrate the tailgate mechanism. The TF is simple.

Keep info coming!
