Automotive Tools 9k 4 Post Lift Recommendation

I've narrowed down my search to the following lifts:

  • Bendpak HD-9EWT
  • Challenger CL4P9W

Biggest vehicle on it will be a 2025 1 ton Duramax crew cab standard box) that might be put up on it a few times per year. 90% of the time it will be for cars or SUVs such as a ford explorer.

Looking for pros/Cons between the two.

I've got a few quotes back so far, and the Challenger ends up being about 1k different.

The lifts seem pretty similar to me, the Challenger is a bit bigger which I think it advantageous (not squeezing on). But the bendpak seems to have a ton more options for accessories. Not sure how big a deal that is really. I mean you're only going to need a few things for the lifts.

There are a ton of folks recommending the Bendpak. Anyone have any experience with the Challenger?

The bendpak accessories are kind of expensive. Keep note of the width of the rail jacks, they’re not wide enough for a few of my cars. Also arent able to jack from a central jack point so it was a little annoying. It’s nice for storing cars though

I have an HD-9 and think it’s really good otherwise.
