The materials cost me about $65. I went to the local metal supply place and found cutoffs at a much reduced price.
The bike rack I used cost $350 when I bought it a few years ago. It is currently $395 on Amazon. Bike Rack
I went this route for two reasons. One, I had the time and skills to fabricate this, and two, I can use the rack in my truck or suburban by itself when I want.
Mine is way overbuilt, but IMO, a good thing. I also was under warranty at the time, so the "receiver frame" is not welded nor bolted to the frame. It uses plates that sandwich the trailer tongue itself.
Lastly, I bought a quality bike rack that will last for many years.
