Some of our carriers allow a trailer or other hitch product to be attached behind the carrier. If you have a concern with this feature, you may be able to answer your question by researching these cases we had with other customers.

QUESTION: I have a 2009 F150 supercrew with a 5.4 l engine and trailer pkg. Can I haul two motorcycles with a combined weight of 550 lbs and pull a 2900 lbs travel trailer? Would I be better off using a one bike hauler and putting the other in the bed? The bed is 5.5 ft.

ANSWER: Our double motorcycle carrier does not have a towing feature at all. We have 2 single models that have towing features. One is the VH-55 RO that has a 500 lbs carrying capacity and the VH-SPORT Ro that has a 600lbs carrying capacity. You will not want to exceed the carrying capacity of the carrier. If your bike weighs 300 lbs and you purchase the VH-55 RO then you would have 200lbs of tongue weight remaining behind the carrier for your trailer.

QUESTION: Would like to get one of your towing hitch cargo carriers but need to be able to tow a 3500 lb boat with 800 lb tongue weight. Do you make anything that would work for that?

QUESTION: On your VH-90 RO for carrying ATV’s etc. Can I connect and tow a trailer behind that carrier. I noticed in your general features it mentions being able to tow a trailer but I’m not clear whether that is for all carriers or just the motorcycle carriers. Thanks.

ANSWER: The VH-90 atv carrier can not tow behind it. This carrier extends too far out from the vehicle to allow for towing.

QUESTION: I have a Class A Motorhome, I would like to put your VH-Sport RO on the back This Motorhome has 2x2” hitch and now carries a 28 ft car trailer and 900 lbs of tongue weight. My question is do you have a model that would flat tow a 3500 lb Jeep? And have a 290 lb Cycle on your VH-Sport RO.

ANSWER: The VH-SPORT carrier is designed to safely carry 600 lbs. Most Class III hitches are rated for 500 lbs. The max towing weight, regardless of your vehicle, is 3000 lbs.

QUESTION: I’m looking for a way to hitch my two scooters (total weight =400 lb) and tow my sea do sportster (15 ft). I have a Class C Motorhome pulling it. My RV has the biggest engine they make so I’m not worried about it being capable of pulling it. Any suggestions?

ANSWER: I don’t have a carrier for two bikes only one bike: VH-55 RO. The VH-55 DM RO does NOT have a towing option.
