  • Weight and Ease of Handling of Classic Accessories 9-Foot Pontoon Boat CA69660
  • The Classic Accessories 9-Foot Pontoon Boat # CA69660 has a total weight of right around 71-pounds so it is certainly not much heavier than many well-equipped kayaks and canoes. But unlike those boats # CA69660 is made of three separate pieces, the two pontoons (that have quick inflate/deflate valves) and the sturdy tubular steel frame. This means that once you've finished your day's paddling you can easily separate those three components and handle each individually as you load them...

  • Is 3500 lb Capacity Curt 13432 Hitch Sufficient for Launching 3000 lb Boat With 2019 Jeep Wrangler
  • According to the folks at Curt, 3500 lb capacity of their # 13432 hitch would indeed be sufficient for launching and retrieving your 3000 lb boat at the boat ramp. This being said, if you'll also be using the hitch as a mounting point for a bike rack, you'll probably want to go with the # C13392 which has a 3 inch longer receiver tube which will allow more clearance between the hitch mounted accessory and the rear of the Jeep. This hitch has the same capacity as the # 13432. You'll also...

  • Can Stealth Hitch SH27FR Tow a Small Boat When Installed on 2018 Volvo XC90
  • The receiver included with the # SH27FR Stealth Hitch isn't intended for towing of any kind, it's meant to accommodate hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. In order to tow with the hitch, you'll also need the # SH36FR upgrade kit which includes towing ball mount and the trailer wiring harness. I've linked you to the installation instructions for the hitch.

  • Does the CE Smith Winch Stand have a Capacity

  • Is Towing Capacity of 2015 Honda CR-V Affected by Angle With Curt Hitch?
  • The actual towing capacity of your 2015 Honda CR-V, which is 1,500 lbs according to the owner's manual, will not decrease with the angle of the boat ramp when using a hitch such as the Curt # C13119, though towing a trailer of any kind can result in higher transmission temperatures. If you plan on towing often, I recommend using a supplemental transmission cooler such as the Derale # D13502. Also, please keep in mind the use of Curt hitch # C13119 is going to require the use of stabilizing...

  • What is Purpose of Rear Hitch Installed on 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Trailer makers typically install hitch receivers on their 5th wheel and travel trailers to enable owners to use items like an RV-approved bike rack, such as the Yakima OnRamp Bike Platform Rack # Y36FR. Not all hitch accessories can be used on trailers or motorhomes but this particular Swagman carrier can be used on ANY vehicle, car, truck, van, pop-up camper, 5th wheel or motorhome. This sturdy rack is unique in this respect. Using a bike rack in the trailer's hitch will put perhaps 150-lbs...

  • Recommended Pole Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution System on a Boat Trailer
  • I spoke with my rep at Blue Ox and checked Reese's website both the Chain Hangers you mentioned item # BXW4023 and the Reese item # RP58393 only work with chain hanging type weight distribution systems. Since you were looking at the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU47FR which has an 600 lbs - 800 lbs tongue weight range, I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW0756. This system will be better suited for you boat trailer....

  • What Does GVWR Mean for a Truck
  • The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers. Maximum trailer weight rating is the heaviest trailer you can tow. So for your truck the heaviest trailer you can tow would be 8,400 lbs regardless of what hitch you use. So you would not be able...

  • Sport Trailer With 15 Inch Hitch Ball Height
  • I have a great option that is going to work for you, though I checked with Yakima, and to use the Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 the top of the hitch ball must be 22" off the ground. An inch or two in either direction would work, but the seven inch difference you have would make the trailer susceptible to fishtailing due to the uneven tongue height. With that said, there is a similar trailer that is going to work very well for you, the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT, which requires...

  • Will RhinoRack 2 Kayak Carrier Work On Factory Crossbars of Honda Ridgeline Truck
  • The Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier (the 2 kayak carrier is made using # S512 paired with Expansion Arm # RRS512X ) will mount to the factory crossbars on the 2019 Honda Ridgeline without any problems, but from what I was able to find from my research, it might not be able to carry the weight of your Hobie Mirage kayaks. Since this carrier has a 110-lb weight limit, and it appears that your kayaks weigh about 60-lbs each, the Rhino-Rack carrier may not be the best option for you. If you weigh...

To add a hitch to your 2018 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98855. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware.
