MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs

See what our Experts say about this MaxxTow Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

• Ball Mount for Towing and Carrying GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  The best option is not a dual-hitch adapter because that will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50 percent, severely limiting your capacity. Instead, I recommend the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 which has a 2" receiver so you can haul your GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 as well as a ball mount platform so you can use a hitch ball with a 1" shank like 2" ball # 40038 or 1-7/8" ball # 19260. This mount has a 5,000 lb capacity and 500 lb tongue...

• Recommended Ball Mount For Towing And Accessory Mount For Cargo Carrier
  For your application, I recommend the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210. This will allow you to tow your motorcycle as well as carry your grill with a cargo carrier like the 31x47 Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs, # PS1040100. This cargo carrier is 48 inches long x 32 inches wide x 3 inches deep. It also has a 4 inch shank rise. You will want to make sure your cargo carrier will allow your...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Rack for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
  The Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT is an excellent option for you. It provides three attachment points on each bike for maximum security and comes with an integrated cable lock for the bikes. In order to use this bike rack to its fullest extent on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315. This is currently the only hitch we have that will allow for 4 bikes to be carried on the back of your vehicle. The other...

• How to Carry 2 e-Bikes When Towing Camper with 2018 Jeep Rubicon JL Unlimited
  I do have a potential solution for you, however if the trailer manufacturer lists a 100 pound tongue weight capacity for the rear hitch on the Intech Rover, you won't be able to transport both your e-bikes on the trailer. You are always going to be limited by the weakest component, so even if the hitch itself is rated for more (or you replace it with an even stronger trailer hitch), you still need to adhere to the 100 pound capacity listed in the trailer specs. Your best option for transporting...

• Rear Axle Suspension Helper Kit for 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan to Reduce Rear Sag from Cargo Load
  You are correct that using a hitch adapter like MaxxTow # MT70066 (or any similar adapter) along with your hitch cargo carrier would increase stress on your hitch. Use of such adapters actually reduces the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity by half because these items move the actual load further away from the hitch and this extended distance places more leverage on the hitch tube, thus reducing its capacity. A better option to regain ground clearance is to install a suspension helper...

• How to Launch a Boat Using the Carpod Cargo Carrier
  What is the connection point on the end of your boat dolly? If it is a 2" shank then you can use the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter part # D-192 but if it is a coupler for a hitch ball then you can use the MaxxTow Ball Mount with Accessory Receiver part # MT70066. Please keep in mind that the Curt adapter will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50% but this should not be an issue if you are only using it to back the boat dolly down the ramp. Unfortunately, they do not make a...

• MaxxTow Ball Mount with Accessory Receiver Compatibility with Hitch Tongue Weight Rating
  The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 when using both the ball mount and bike rack together will not impact the tongue weight rating of your hitch receiver. This will work for you based on the weights you gave. If you use the ball mount portion alone, the tongue weight also isn't impacted. It is only when you use the accessory hitch receiver alone that the additional torque is added and the tongue weight of your hitch is altered.

• Will MaxxTow Ball Mount with 2 Inch Accessory Receiver Fit 2012 Mazda CX-9
  If your 2013 Mazda CX-9 has a trailer hitch with a 2 inch x 2 inch receiver, like the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75531, the MaxxTow Ball Mount with 2 Inch Accessory Receiver # MT70066 will likely work well for you. Both Class II and Class III trailer hitches are offered for your CX-9, and Class II trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receivers. Besides making sure you have a 2 inch hitch receiver, you will want to measure the clearance needed at your bumper to...

• Recommended Bike Rack and Ball Mount With Receiver for use Behind Trailer
  There is a bike rack you can use with the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 but the SportRack Bike Rack SR2901LR is not rated for use to be towed behind a trailer. The only other option for a platform rack that fits a 2" receiver, is rated for use behind a trailer and has a weight capacity of 45 lbs per bike like the SportRack is the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack # S44FR. It has sliding wheel cradles to fit bikes of different sizes, can accommodate wheelbases...

• Compatibility of Bike Rack Receiver Mount while Towing Pop-Up Camper
  The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 will work as long as you have 6 inches of clearance for the hitch pin hole of your receiver to the edge of the bumper. The Curt # D210 is rated for up to 7,500 lbs and is slightly shorter. You will need 5 inches of clearance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the outermost edge of the bumper to not make contract with the top receiver tube. Your other options are the Stromberg Carlson...

• How to Raise a Cargo Carrier on a Minivan for More Ground Clearance
  The best option I have for you is to use the MaxxTow Ball Mount part # MT70066 which will raise the cargo carrier another 6" off the ground. The reason I recommend this option over other adapters is because it will not reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50% like all of the other options will. The ball mount portion will not be needed for your application but is needed for strength. The Blue Ox Towbar Drop or Rise Receiver part # BX88130 is designed for flat-towing only and cannot be...

• How to Raise a Bike Rack on the Rear of an RV
  I do have an opinion for you but the Replacement Bent Towing Receiver part # SP325 will not work with your Thule bike rack as it is designed to be used with the Swagman Traveler XCS part # S64664 only. Instead, I recommend either using the MaxxTow Ball Mount part # MT70066 or the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver part # RM-077-8. If you are towing a trailer behind your RV then you will want to use the MaxxTow ball mount but if you are flat-towing a vehicle behind your RV then you will want...

• Using An Extended Length Ball Mount for Towing with a Bike Rack
  Yes, you can use an extended ball mount like part # BM20 to give more space for a bike rack to be used such as the Swagman Traveler XCS part # S64664 or the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack part # C18013. I have attached a list of the extended length ball mounts that we offer below. If you already have a bike rack then you can use the MaxxTow Ball Mount part # MT70066. However, the drop that you require to tow level must be 2-1/4" or close in order to use this ball mount. If your drop is 2-1/4"...

• How To Mount A Bike Rack On A Vehicle That Is Pulling A Trailer
  I have a solution for you, however, we do not carry any trailers that have a receiver at the back. Even if we did, this would not be safe due to the excess weight that the bike rack would add to the back of trailer; this could cause unstable conditions and very bad swaying. Your best bet is to use MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066. This handy adapter slides into your 2" hitch receiver on your vehicle and will give you a ball mount AND 2" receiver. This means you can...

• Would the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 Clear Jeep Wrangler Spare
  The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 should work fine to clear the rear spare of your 2015 Jeep Wrangler but that would depend slightly on the length of the shank on your cargo carrier. The top hitch opening of this carrier will be about 5-1/2 inches above the top of the hitch opening. As long as your spare tire is more than 5-1/2 inches above the hitch opening the # MT70066 itself would clear the spare. Since this will add 8 more inches to the overall length of your...

• Is There A Ball-Mount With Accessory Receiver For 1-1/4 Inch Hitches?
  The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 1-5/8" Drop - 5,000 lbs, # MT70066 does not come in a 1-1/4 inch size. You can use an adapter like # 80303 if you have a Class II hitch and need a 2 inch accessory option, but it will reduce the tongue weight rating of your hitch by 50%. This adapter is not to be used for towing. There is not an towing and accessory combination for a Class I or Class II hitch receiver based on their rated max capacities.

• Recommended Hitch Adapter And Dual Ball Mount For UTV With 1-1/4 Inch Receiver
  Unfortunately we do not have any dual hitch ball mounts designed to fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver as you said your UTV has. I have attached a link to the 1-1/4 ball mounts we have but as I said, we do not carry dual receivers for a 1-1/4 receiver. The shortest extender we offer is part # HTAD. This extender will fit in a 1-1/4 inch receiver and allow you to attach a 2 inch ball mount like part # MT70066. This extender measures 7-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center...

• Can MaxxTow MT70066 Ball Mount/Receiver Flat Tow a Vehicle and Carry Bike Rack at the Same Time
  If both the trailer ball and the receiver portion of the # MT70066 is used at the same time, the 500 lb tongue weight capacity of the # MT70066 won't be reduced. Flat towing a vehicle doesn't apply any tongue weight to the ball mount/receiver so as long as the weight of the bike rack and the bikes don't exceed the 500 lb tongue capacity of the ball mount/receiver or the tongue weight capacity of the hitch (whichever is lower), this ball mount will work great for you for carrying the bike...

• Multi Purpose Ball Mount With Tallest Receiver
  The only other ball mount like the # MT70066 we offer is the # D210 from Curt. The receiver on this ball mount sits about 1/3 of an inch taller than the MaxxTow model you'd looked at.

• Will a Loading Bike Carrier and Trailer Towing Together with Dual Receiver Cause Rear Vehicle Sag
  The extra weight of the loaded bike carrier will likely cause the rear of the vehicle to sag slightly more when the trailer is also coupled but it should not be drastic enough to necessitate a different set up. Using a ball with a rise such as # C40033 might actually be too much increase but the only way to know for sure is to see if there is excessive sage with the current set up. The issue though is that by using dual receiver # MT70066 the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Highlander
  For your 2017 Toyota Highlander the best hitch option is the Draw Tite # DT65MR as it has the best capacity and has a great price. Hitch installs are pretty basic for qualified mechanics. The best advice I can give would be to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them install it. I attached an install video as well for you to check out to see if you might be able to tackle it yourself.

• Is There a Ball Mount with Receiver and No Drop to Tow a Trailer and Carry Bikes at the Same Time
  While there isn't a multi-purpose ball mount that doesn't have a rise we do have MaxxTow ball mount # MT70066 which, out of the options, has the least amount of drop at 1-5/8 inches. Another possible option to carry bikes on # TH9056 and tow the trailer at the same time is to use a front mount trailer hitch and carry the bikes at the front. If you think this is a viable option let me know the year, make, and model of the tow vehicle and I can see if there is a front hitch for it. If...

• 2019 MINI Cooper S with Automatic Transmission Compatibility with Tow Dolly and Bike Rack
  Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions. If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes...

• Can Trailer Be Towed Behind Hitch Mounted Cargo Basket On 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe
  If your jet ski trailer has a very long tongue, you may be able to use something like the MaxxTow Ball Mount with 2 inch Accessory Receiver, part # MT70066. One thing to consider when using a ball mount like this is the basket sitting so far back and interfering with the trailer, preventing it from being able to execute a turn without hitting the basket. We do not offer any cargo carriers that have the hitch receiver to allow towing. The added stress of a trailer along with the carrier...
