It should work..
The Thule is 3x+ more expensive, is a very well known high quality brand and probably has undergone extensive R&D.
This exact "Swagman" model is sold under various random company names.. I'll go out on a limb here and say they all come out of the same factory.
Does that make it a bad product? no, not at all. Just remember you pay for what you get. Do you want something that will do the trick and get you by or do you want to spend more for a premium product?
The only thing I'd suggest is to look for the model that folds up towards the car, especially if you plan on leaving it on the car. This one sticks out a fair amount and makes backing up and parallel parking more challenging. Also.,for some cars it can interfere with opening the trunk, despite the tilting. Whether it does or not it depends on the car and the position of the hitch receiver. For example, my Subaru Ascent has the receiver up high near the opening of the truck. The trunk gate hits the top of the rack even when tilted. It wasn't a problem for my older car with a receiver positioned lower.
