QUESTION: I am interested in one of your racks for a dual sport bike. I have not bought the bike yet but am looking at them in the 400cc range. I have a 1991 Toyota 4×4 Pickup 22RE engine with a Draw-Tite hitch (currently not on the truck) rated at 600lbs from what the sticker says. I cannot find any pictures of around my year of truck with a carrier and bike on loaded up. I am wondering how much my tail lights will be obstructed with it all loaded? Is it common to add lights? Thanks.

ANSWER: I do not have any information for that year of truck. http://versahaul.com/vehiclecarrycapacity.php  Many people do add tail lights to the carrier. The tail light are sold in 2 models. The VH-TK or the VH-TK LP and the only difference in the 2 is the VH-TK LP comes with a license plate light as well. If your want to install your license plate behind the carrier then you must have a light on it. Many cases the license plate is blocked by the bike.  The VH-TK runs $46.00 and VH-TK LP runs $59.99 shipped within the continental U.S.
