I picked up one of those recently, it is the brand "black widow" I believe and is their 600lb model. I have used it about 7 times, once with a ninjette, once with a older Ducati and a few times with a 125 mx bike. this was behind a trailblazer. you can def feel the weight. but I wouldn't say that I felt unsafe. I definitely felt better with a trailer on back but I think that that would even out with time and trust. mostly the not being able to see the cargo as well is unnerving. the one I got is right around $200 new online but I got it used for $80 on Craigs or offerup there were more than a few on there when I found it so I just went with the closest/best deal. hope this helps.
P.S. the guy I got it from added some brake lights to it and included an anti rattle device, I would highly recommend both. I also think that I am going to put some plow poles/flags on it so that I can better see the limits of where it is when parking/ backing.
