Question:
Im looking for an E-Bike Rack for 2 bikes that has a ramp and will work on my 2015 Heartland Bighorn RS3270 5th wheel camper that has a 2 receiver and on my 2025 GMC 2500HD Denali pickup truck that has a 3 receiver. I want to be able to switch the rack back and forth between these 2 vehicles. Thanks

Welcome back Rex and thanks for all of the information! For a e-bike rated bike rack with a ramp, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp LX item # Y88DJ.
The Yakima OnRamp LX item # Y88DJ is designed to fit a 2" receiver and is rated for use behind a 5th wheel trailer. It fits tires, up to 5" wide, has a 80 lbs per bike capacity, and weighs only 53 lbs. The included ramp extends up to 51" long and can be stored on the bike rack when it's not being used.
To use the Yakima OnRamp LX item # Y88DJ in your Sierra's 3" receiver. You'll need the following parts:
BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # BTBRV74FR
Yakima Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # Y74MX
Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # FA86-00-3160
The Magnetic Reducer Sleeve item # BTBRV74FR is going to insert inside your Sierra's 3" receiver so it can accept the Yakima Reducer Sleeve item # Y74MX. This will reduce your hitch receiver down to 2" to allow you to mount the Yakima OnRamp LX item # Y88DJ. The Receiver Lock item # FA86-00-3160 will secure the reducers to your Sierra's 3" hitch.
Please note that the Yakima Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # Y74MX is the only one that is approved to be used with the Yakima OnRamp LX item # Y88DJ. You will not be using the included threaded hitch pin bolt because it's designed to work with 2-1/2" hitch receivers only.
What kind of e-bikes are you hauling and what brand of hitch do you have on your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500? I wasn't aware they made a 3" hitch for your truck. Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

We've carried two heavy Gazelle ebikes on multiple trips to Florida and back. The previous setup was on the truck receiver. Current setup is on a receiver on the back of the camper. Depending on our mood and how much we have stretched, we'll use the ramp or just hoist the bikes up. It's easier on the back of the camper, as there is more room - the old setup was between the truck and a teardrop; it worked fine, just a bit cramped for getting the bikes on. Overall, no issues. One of the tray adjustment knobs did break - probably over-torqued it, but fixed it with a new nut and some rejiggering. Haven't had any issues with it taking paint off. We connect under the seats and the pads work fine for that. No issues with it being loose over the 5000 miles that we have used it for. It does have some rocking movement while driving, but every receiver rack does the same.
