  • What Is The Tongue Weight For A Draw-Tite Hitch Mounted On A 2016 Tesla Model X
  • I have some info that can help, see below: **Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76143. When it comes to vertical weight and tongue weight, those two terms mean the same thing in regards to hitch receivers. The Draw-Tite linked above has a max tongue weight of 750 pounds and a max trailer weight of 5,000 pounds. Simply put you can have up to 750 pounds pushing down on the ball of the hitch receiver while it pulls a 5,000 pound trailer. If you want...

  • Recommended Tire Chains For A 2016 Tesla Model X With 265/50R19 Tires
  • The K67's are recommended because they are Class-S Compatible which means they're low-profile to fit the minimal spacing you have between the tire and wheel well. It does have different clips to match the size of your lug nuts for a snug fit but you can just avoid this mounting style by going with another Class-S tire chain like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV - Size 265 # th04115265. This self-tensioning snow chain can be...

  • How Much Tongue Weight Can the Draw-Tite Hitch Handle On a 2020 Tesla Model X With Bikes
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76143 which is a fit for a 2020 Tesla Model X has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs so that is the amount of weight you carry with a bike rack and bikes, cargo carrier with cargo, or on the trailer tongue. That said, the vehicle is likely rated lower so you may want to check with the manufacturer to see what weight they recommend for the trailer tongue if applicable. That said, I don't think a four bike rack would be out of the question...

  • Wireless Brake Controller that is Compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuators
  • While the Prodigy RF brake controller # 90250 is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brake actuators we do have the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 that is compatible and would be a really great option. The install of this is even easier than the RF as all you have to do is plug it into your 7-way and then sync it to your smart phone. I attached a review video for this controller for you to check out as well. I also attached a help article on adding electric over hydraulic brakes...

  • Does The Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack Come With The Same Keys For The Cable Lock And Hitch Lock?
  • When buying the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack # NV22B-NA22B you will have a cable lock for each bike and a hitch lock for the rack. You will get one set of keys (2 keys) that will be identical. These keys will work for not only the hitch lock, but also for the four bike cables. No need to buy other locking cores to make them match. It comes with all the locking cores already installed and two of the same keys to unlock them both. I like to keep one on my keychain and the other hidden...

  • The Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # Y02443-2 will work with your 3 electric bikes that are 50 lbs each.

  • Can Only Included Cargo Carrier be Used with Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack Cargo Carrier
  • The only cargo carrier that can be used safely with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier - 2 Fat Bikes # HR1400Z-85-FB that you referenced is the one that is included with this kit. Other carriers might fit the rack setup but the extra weight and leverage of a longer/heavier carrier would potentially damage the bike rack as well as your hitch since that's quite a bit more stress on everything.

  • Can the MaxxTow # MT70034 Clevis be Used to a Tow Trailer with a Lunette Ring
  • As long as your trailer equipped with a lunette ring is within the 5,000 lb weight limit of the MaxxTow # MT70034 and your lunette ring fits within the tangs of the clevis hitch (see attached photos) you can definitely use this with a lunette ring. Please note that your lunette ring can't be more then 2-1/2" thick. You will also need a hitch pin & clip like part # PC3 or a locking hitch pin like part # e98880, as well as the clevis pin itself like part # CP20.

  • How to Choose Correct Ball Mount for Draw-Tite Hitch on 2017 Tesla Model X
  • To choose the correct ball mount you'll first need to measure from the ground to the top inside of the Draw-Tite Receiver # 76143 with it installed on your 2017 Tesla Model X, and then from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler with the trailer sitting level on level ground. Since the hitch receiver sits fairly low I'd imagine that your trailer coupler will be higher so you'll need a ball mount with a rise like the 2-3/4" rise ball mount that comes with the etrailer Ball Mount...

  • What are Towing Capacities of Draw Tite Hitch # 76143 for 2017 Tesla Model X
  • The hitch part # 76143 by itself has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs and trailer capacity of 5,000 lbs. If your 2017 Tesla Model X had a lower towing capacity you would be limited to the lowest capacity of the setup. The hitch manufacturers design their hitches and then rate them for capacities separately from the vehicle. This hitch is also not rated for weight distribution. If your trailer weighed 4,800 lbs it would be 200 lbs underneath the capacity of the hitch so it would work well.

  • What is the Tongue Weight of the Draw-Tite # 76143 on My 2018 Model X?
  • When we have listed tongue weights, the tongue weight rating is the weight that a hitch can handle vertically pressing down on the receiver. This is the vertical weight/accessory rate rating you are asking for. The maximum gross trailer weight, on the other hand, is the horizontal weight of anything that is attached to the hitch (pulled from behind). Since the tongue weight on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143 is 750 pounds, it will be able to accommodate a 375-pound...

  • Towing Capacity for Draw Tite Trailer Hitch that Fits 2018 Tesla Model X
  • Aftermarket trailer hitches will typically have higher towing capacities than the vehicles they fit. Reason being is that they design the hitch to fit the vehicle, make it as strong as they can, and then independently test the hitch from the vehicle for capacity. So what this means is that you are still limited by the capacity of the vehicle even when using a hitch with a higher weight capacity. Basically what would happen is the vehicle frame would fail before the hitch which is why you...

  • Roof Rack For 2017 Tesla Model X to Carry Kayaks
  • I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B for the Tesla Model X. The SeaSucker bars attach to the Tesla's roof with 6 vacuum cups and allow you to carry your kayaks when it's time to go kayaking. When you are done with your adventure you can remove the rack and easily remove for storage so the rack is not always on your roof compared to other roof racks that can be difficult to remove and reinstall. The SeaSucker brand is the only roof rack that works on the Tesla Model X's...

  • What is the Tongue Weight Capacity of the Draw-Tite 76143 Hitch for 2020 Tesla Model X
  • The tongue weight of your vehicle and hitch will also apply in the same manner when it comes to carrying bikes on a bike rack. You will want to refer to the tongue weight capacity in your owner's manual for the most accurate information, but the Draw-Tite # 76143 has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 750-lbs, so you'd be able to put that much combined weight in bikes and a bike rack using the hitch (which would take some pretty heavy bikes!).

  • Vertical Load Limit On A 2020 Tesla Model X
  • It seems that you're talking about tongue weight as it is the downward force or the "vertical load" on the hitch. 120lbs is way to light to be the gross trailer weight rating. That being said, the Draw-Tite # 76143 2 inch hitch will fit your 2020 Tesla Model X. It has a gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. This is how heavy your trailer can be to tow. It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs (Downward vertical force on hitch). This hitch is a lot stronger and can handle heavier accessories...
