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.
