• Weight and Capacity of Reese 20 x 47 Inch Cargo Carrier # 63155
• The Reese # 63155 cargo carrier is rated at 300 lbs. If the tongue weight capacity of your hitch is 350 lbs, you'll be limited by whichever component has the LOWEST capacity, which is the cargo carrier in this instance. Because the carrier weighs about 40 lbs, you'd be limited to carrying about 310 lbs of cargo on the carrier. If your cargo loaded on the carrier, you might consider fitting out your carrier with a light kit like part # 98174LED. You'd also need to install a trailer connector...

• Fat Bike Tire Width for Use with RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo 1-Bike Rack
• No worries! The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo 1-Bike Rack # RKY87RR has wheel cradles and straps that can accommodate up to 5 inch tires. In my experience with mounting fat bikes, the key is the length of the straps. The straps are what secure the wheel down and some bike racks have cradles wide enough for fat bikes, but their straps are too short and don't wrap around the wheel. With the HighNoon, your fat bike will fit right in as their cradles are not only deep and wide, but they have...

• Weight and Capacity of Reese # 63155 Cargo Carrier
• Although the basket has a 300 lb capacity, you'll be limited by whichever component of your towing system has the lowest capacity, whether it be the carrier or the hitch. Take a look at the sticker on your hitch. If the hitch is a Class I, you'll likely have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, which means the downward force or weight applied to the hitch could not exceed 200 lbs. This would mean that the combined weight of the carrier (about 40 lbs) and the weight of whatever's carried on...

• From the top of the hitch opening of the Curt hitch part # C12091 that you referenced down to the ground measures 10-1/4 inches when we installed this hitch on a similar 2016 Ford Fusion as yours.

• What is the Speed Rating for Thule CB12 Tire Chains
• Tire chains are typically rated for 30 to 40 miles per hour depending on the chain. The Thule CB12 chains, # TH01221102, are rated for 31 miles per hour. If you are in conditions where chains are required, going 40 miles per hour is not a good idea. The faster you go the less control and traction you will have. Any chain can potentially become disconnected and higher speeds increase the chance of that occurring. The metal parts of the chains are not likely to wear out faster due to higher...
