Hey Brad. Your best bet will be to use a Gen-Y stacked receiver ball mount like part # 325-GH-315. This ball mount features 5 stacked 2" receivers. So you will be able to use the ball mount attachment for your trailer, then the outboard motor carrier could go in one of the uppermost receivers.

This ball mount is rated for 1,500 lbs of tongue weight, which should be more than enough for your trailer and the weight of the motor. The 2022 Toyota Sequoia SR5 can tow up to 7,400 lbs for 2wd models so you will be pushing your vehicle to near capacity. You will also want to be sure there is nothing on the frame of your trailer that would contact the motor when you are carrying it.

These Gen-Y ball mounts are available in other sizes and configurations if you need something different to better suit your application. The link below will show you our full selection of Gen-Y stacked receiver ball mounts for a 2" hitch.
