Oh I bet several do. I've had them since 2007. They seem fine.
Reasonably strong -- we've been bumped a few times with no visible
changes. After a while the paint faded some, and they've gained a
little surface rust (I'm in Massachusetts and have done some winter
driving.) I wish I had the model that accommodates a trailer hitch -
mine predate that option.

The best feature is that they're flat on top, so that's an outdoor
shelf front and rear - park your camp chair nearby and set your
beverage down.
