QUESTION: I have a F350 diesel and I need to haul my Honda CRF 250x (250 lbs) on a receiver hitch motorcycle carrier while keeping the tailgate of my truck down. Therefore I need the center of the tire rail on the carrier to be ~26″ from the face of the truck’s receiver hitch. I also need to tow a lightweight trailer (2,500 lbs) behind the carrier. The VH 55 DM seemed like it would work (I could use just the back rail) but upon closer inspection it doesn’t appear rated to tow. I see your VH 90 is rated for 700 lbs and has a 50″ tube. Based on this it would seem if I could get a VM 55 with a slightly longer main tube (say 35″-40″) with a receiver hitch on the end of it I could accomplish my goal. Do you have any ability to do something like this or have any other ideas/solutions you could offer?

ANSWER: The largest tube that we manufacture with the towing feature would be a 30″ main tube. This will be 6″ longer than the tube that comes with the VH-55. None of the longer tubes will allow for towing.
