Video Transcript for Malone Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver Review
Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Malone Dual Hitch.Now this is designed to fit into a standard 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube opening. It then comes back from there and it's going to give us a dual receiver tube opening. The lower one is rated for accessories and towing, the upper one's going to be rated just for accessories. As you can see, we've got our Malone Micro Sport there on the bottom. We're also able to take our bike rack right along with us, we don't have to decide one or the other.Now also as kind of a side effect of getting the dual receiver tube, we also get a hitch extender here.
This is going to be 12 3/8ths of an inch from our original pinhole to our new pinhole location. That helps with clearing items like this, like the spare tire on the back of our Jeep or maybe an overhanging bumper. Now it offers really nice solid construction, which we'll show you a little bit more later but the weight ratings are important to take into effect.The ton weight rating on the dual receiver's going to be 400 pounds, that's the downward force we can put on it and it gives us a 4,000 pound gross trailer weight rating, but it's important to note that it also reduces your hitch capacity by 50 percent. You want to use whatever sets of numbers are lower. Now overall this dual receiver is really well constructed.
Just looking at all the welds that they have here, they're really nicely done and of course all of that's going to be wrapped up with that heavy duty black powder coat finish, so it should really look good for a very long time.Now a couple measurements that are going to be helpful in ensuring this is going to work for your application. We're going to start with the pinholes. From the center of our original pinhole to the center of the pinhole on the lower receiver it's 12 3/8ths of an inch. Now that matches what the rearward hole on the top receiver and then this hole's going to be 2 inches back from that, so this is at 10 3/8ths. Now another measurement I think is going to be key is the distance from the pinhole to the back of our upper receiver here.You can see with the spare tire if this we're larger we might run into interference, so just to ensure that you've got 9 inches from the center of your pinhole to the outer edge of anything that might interfere and then this will work in there for you.
It's going to be a 9 inch total from that pinhole to the back here. Then this offers a rise from the center of our lower pinhole, which should match that of your hitch, it's going to be 7 1/2 inches to the upper pinholes. Now all of our pinholes are going to be 5/8ths of an inch in diameter so you want to choose a pin and clip that's going to work with that.It's generally a Class 3 and each of the receiver tubes are going to be 2 inches by 2 inches. That's going to work with many of the Class 3 accessories out there for the upper and Class 3 ball mounts for the lower. Each of the receiver tubes are going to have the set screw we can tighten down and it really helps to eliminate the need for anti-rattle devices.Now when we install the dual receiver we want to ensure that the extra receiver is upward.
The lower receiver is rated for towing, the upper is just rated for accessories, so just keep that in mind. We're going to slide it in like any Class 3 accessory. We can take the provided pin, we're going to get that to slide through and then we'll use the provided clip to secure that. Once we have that pinned in place we get our anti-rattle device ready to go here. We'll first take our U bolt, that's going to slide up and around the shank of our dual receiver.Then we're going to bring our plate down. Now we're going to add a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut to each side of the U bolt. These are all provided. Now we want that U bolt to be sitting about 1/2 of an inch behind the end of our receiver tube. We'll bring that up just a little bit, right about there looks to be about 1/2 an inch in this gap right here. Get those snugged down and we're going to use a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. We want to get those tightened down. Now you can see, once we have that installed any of that movement or play is going to be eliminated.This can be installed in either direction so we can either have it with our U bolt legs facing up or down, we just have to move the plate to the bottom side if we rotate it the other way. To ensure it's generating the proper pressure, you can see the flat portion here it's going to be towards our factory hitch and the part with the angle is going to be towards our dual receiver. Now at this point we'll just place our ball mount in. This is going to install just like any other ball mount we're used to, line up the pinholes, secure it with a pin and clip.Now the pin and clip to hold the dual receiver to the hitch is included but for your ball mount or accessory you'll have to provide your own. Once we've got our pin in there we need to tighten down our screw right here or our bolt. We need a 12 millimeter socket. This is going to act as an anti-rattle device. See once we have that tightened down really no movement or play to speak of whatsoever. Now at this point we're ready to connect our trailer to our ball mount, latch and of course we'll want to pin it closed.Now one thing to keep in mind, we do have an extension that's just kind of a side effect of using our dual receiver. In most situations your safety chains aren't going to connect and your wiring is probably going to be a little bit short to make your connection once this is in place. Keep in mind extending these to make sure they connect is very important safety-wise. At this point our bike rack will go into place, cargo carrier, whatever you might be using it for and we're going to install this per the rack's instructions.If you're using a cargo carrier throw a pin and clip in there of course and we also recommend tightening down the screw that we have on top there, the bolt that we have on top there. Even though this does have an anti-rattle device included, tightening that down is just going to give it that extra little bit of security there. That's going to complete our look at the Malone Dual Receiver.

Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver - MPG544
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (165 Customer Reviews)
by: Muskietime01/17/2024
Used the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver to have a bike rack with two bikes on the upper Receiver and a 21' bassboat on the lower Receiver. Ran down to Florida Everglades, Florida Keys and back home. Almost exactly 4,000 miles.
Hitch worked perfectly. I did find that you can not "jacknife" the boat as much or the bow of the boat will touch the bikes on the rack but that is to be expected.
Hitch was quiet, strong and exceeded my expectations. Easy to install and looking forward to using it again in a month for another 4,000 mile road trip. Note: I drive fast and the roads are not always perfect. This is a sturdy Hitch Receiver.
Hope this review helps you. Sorry, crummy photo as the Receiver is a "set it and forget it" product.
Be well.

I bought this Dual Purpose Receiver at Twice the price of that Big online company because of reviews from owners that bought on both sites. After evaluating the reviews, I chose to go with etrailer because I have come to trust them as a company that gives you a great product that they will stand behind and they appreciate your business. I haven’t used this receiver yet, but can look at it and I am comfortable that I made the right choice. I will follow up with another review after I use it.
by: Alex04/26/2023
Ordered on April 2nd. Delivered within a week. Used within a week of delivery. Rusted immediately. Reported back to etrailer, who were no help at all, admitted that it is a faulty product and sent me to Malone warranty instead of carrying responsibility for the quality of the product that they sold, that rusted within one week of use and was reported in less than 30 days. Poor product quality and customer service, don't buy from them, they don't care about the customer and will do anything to save their money.
by: Laura 05/01/2024
Heavy duty. Probably overkill for our e-bike rack but we needed it lower. Thanks for the fast delivery.
by: Stephen04/18/2019
Again the perfect solution to my need to carry a bike and tow my trailer at the same time and still be able to open my FJ Cruiser’s swing out rear door. When not towing, I leave it in the hitch and install a third brake light and bump stop to protect my protruding spare tire on the back door. Etrailer is the best online retailer I’ve ever done business with. Great product knowledge, great videos, in use photos, and super nice customer service personnel. These guys are winners. I’d pay twice as much to get this level of service.

Rereading my review I think I may have misled some people. I meant to say that I can open my FJ rear door with the dual purpose hitch receiver in place, but not with the bike mounted. But it continues to serve me well. When not towing a trailer and hauling my bike, I have a stop light and protective bumper mounted in the two 2” receiver slots. Love it.
by: Bruce 04/12/2024
Won’t know how it works for my application until I have a chsnce to try it. Appears well made and should work out fine.
by: Don08/15/2019
This hitch was exactly what I needed. Most dual racks would not work because when our bike rack was mounted on top it interfered with mounting / moving the Roadmaster tow bars. We were able to use the back mounting hole on the top rack to give us the clearance needed. The included anti rattle device would have been a required addition. Would have had to buy it separately if it wasn't included.
The extra towing length was a concern but after a few miles the concern disappeared. Of course we are towing a Miata so if your towing something like a Suburban you might want to do the math.

Have Curt hitch installed on 2020 Hyundai Palisade and needed extension unit to mount my cargo carrier. In addition, I wanted to make sure the carrier was elevated above the exhaust to prevent burning of the carrier bag. First I tried the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, however the 2" receiver rubbed up against the rear bumper and the carrier was close to the exhaust. After reviewing the dimensions I chose the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver which move the carrier out and up. I was able to open the hatch of the Hyundai fully clearing the loaded cargo carrier. Using the hitch receiver reduces the tongue weight 50%, which dropped by hitch from 750 to 375 lbs, which is sufficient for my application.
by: 05/05/2021
So far this hitch looks like a winner. I was able to put my bike rack on the top and then my car will tow from the bottom. I will see how it works next week.

I still love the product. Makes carrying my bike easy when I am pulling my jeep.
by: Sakamoto05/27/2020
works great to use Yakima 4 timer bike rack and 8ft trailer for Kayaks. I had to take a spare tire off from a trailer to provide clearance with bike rack. No issue during 2hrs high driving.
by: Wiley02/14/2022
My bike rack was too high behind my Chevy Traverse for easy loading/unloading. I felt the Morgan reliever would remedy the situation if it could be inverted. I contacted you for verification that this could be safely done. A prompt review told me this could be done safely. I ordered the receiver and it arrived quickly (in a badly damaged box) complete. I installed the receiver, my bike rack and it works perfectly! Thanks for your attention and advice

GREAT! I’m 87 years old and I use the adapter often in a “flipped” position. This allows me to load my heavy ebike easily onto its rack. I love it!
by: Gabe07/09/2020
Very happy with the dual purpose hitch extender. I was able to attached my bike rack and still be safe in pulling my trailer. Well built. Fast shipping.
by: Curtis L05/19/2023
I have used the above mentioned hitch devise in conjunction with our hitch luggage rack to provide additional ground clearance. It has worked very well to prevent the luggage rack from dragging on the pavement when pulling out on roads with a deep crown. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. All the employees I have delt with at etrailer, have been exceptional help with all products. etrailer has now become my first choice.
by: Fred 04/09/2024
Great product for the money.
by: Pamela08/09/2019
product was just as advertised, very good quality and works great, was just what I was looking for, etrailer was good to work with, hitch arrived in a very timely manner
by: Jeffery04/05/2023
The new leaf springs ride great and lifted my Superduty about 3 inches. The only reason I gave four stars was for slight damage. This may have occurred during shipping. I've read several reviews that complained about some sort of damage during shipping, and I feel there might be need to look at how things are packaged.
by: James 06/23/2023
Easy to use and keeps my cargo hauler away from my muffler. The included clamp keeps everything tight
by: Louis04/12/2023
The hitch was pre-installed, and had black tape over the accessory package. A reason why the last person returned it because the hitch is off-center. The top part is not aligned with the bottom hitch.
by: Pat10/03/2022
Great product! Helped me get my bike rack up and further back so I didn't need to drop the bike rack pivot to open the tailgate. The extra hitch receiver allowed me to place a brake light/back up light in the lower receiver while using the upper one to hold the bike rack! very stout and well designed.
by: Edward11/06/2018
Great product. Needed this for two reasons.
1. I needed to be able to load both bikes and a cargo carrier on the back of a Jeep Cherokee.
2. I also needed more room between the bike rack and the rear cargo door to load and unload with out having to tilt the bike rack.

Working great. Use when ever loading bikes and cargo carrier or just want to have the cargo carrier higher off the ground.
by: Stan03/05/2019
Love double hitch. Used it for a year now and am happy. The 2 large electric bikes and bike rack really test the hitch, the u bolt and set screws keep the bikes from moving, I don’t need to tie or strap the bikes down. Since I am pulling the car there is little weight on the hitch and works great.

Be aware that as mentioned in the product description, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch is reduced by half when an extension like this part is used. Youll want to ensure that the weight of the bikes and rack does not exceed 50 of the hitch tongue weight capacity.
by: Joseph01/23/2023
Just what I need to use a bike rack and tow my boat. Kate was very helpful, answered all my questions and quickly handled the return of first adapter and expedited the new one.
Thank you for the great support!
by: John 09/20/2022
This make towing my kayak trailer and carrying my electric bike rack at the same time possible. Now we don’t have to decide which we’ll take on a trip. Options are good. Note it rides low so you have to be careful pulling out of driveways sometimes.
by: Martha 09/15/2022
This hitch allowed me to put a bike rack on top of my trailer hitch. Just be sure that it is all securely on the ball before taking off! I didn’t and could have been much worse!
by: Joe A07/22/2022
This is a great addition to my kayak trailer. When I go on long fishing trips I’m able to pull my trailer and add my 2” receiver metal tray in the upper receiver where I added a large plastic lockable box bolted to the tray. etrailer.com has a solution for everything. And, this attachment is very strong and it will last a very long time.

- Are the etrailer Pictures and Measurements for Malone Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver Updated?Here at etrailer, we take our own pictures and measurements of products that arrive so that you can see them exactly like how they'd arrive in a box. The Malone 2 Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver Item # MPG544 is the same product as the SKU MPG544 on the Malone website except their pictures have a single hitch pin hole on the top receiver and ours have two.

If you install the bike rack on the top receiver, it will give you an additional 7-1/2 inches of height for the ground clearance when you add on the 2-bike extension. With the extension, there is a 50% decrease in tongue weight. With the Draw-Tite Max E-Loader # 75717, the new tongue weight capacity will be 262 pounds. If you need stabilizing...

The Malone Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches # MPG544 will be straight out and isn't at an angle but that inch is not going to be problematic. Getting 100 percent level in any towing set up is difficult so a single inch is going to be fine. This dual adapter has a long 12" extension and will give you a pair of receivers...

- How to Carry a Spare Tire and Bike Rack on a Class C Ford E-450 MotorhomeYou could potentially use something like the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 along with the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR with your Curt Spare Tire Carrier # c31006 but using an extender like this not only exaggerates the movement of any accessories in the hitch receiver, but it also reduces the weight rating of the trailer hitch by 50%. So if you have enough trailer hitch tongue weight capacity (halved) for 100 lbs of tire and then the 50 lbs of the bike rack plus the weight...

- Solution for Carrying Bike Rack while Towing Tent TrailerI have a solution for you, but the dual hitch adapters would not work great for you based on the amount of rise you need so instead I would recommend going with the Lippert Jack It part # LC429756 instead which is a bike rack that mounts under your jack mount. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

This is the highest-capacity option. A video is linked for your reference. This hitch has a rating of 600-lbs of tongue weight (TW) which is the downward force on the hitch from what is connected to it. This capacity is plenty for your 350-lb total chair and carrier weight but as you noted ground clearance can become an issue when entering steep...

The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA944-968-924 can work to carry your kayaks as long as from the receiver to the roof line is 53-3/8 inches or taller.

view full answer... - Effects of Using Hitch Adapters on Hitch Towing CapacityIt is not recommended to use multiple hitch adapters or extensions when towing. Most adapters will cause a loss of hitch capacity since they move the actual load further away from the hitch, which increases leverage on the hitch tube. This applies to both a straight 2-inch extension like the 18-inch Curt # C45796 and to dual-receiver adapters like # MPG544, both of which cost you half the hitch's rated capacity. Multiple adapters also tend to introduce more rattle and noise. The better...

The item we offer closest to what you're looking for is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 whch has a 2-inch receiver for an accessory. However this item is rated for 7500-lbs not 8000-lbs. Also please note that use of an accessory in this receiver will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.
view full answer... - What Weight is Affected when Using a Hitch Adapter?Using an adapter like the Malone Dual 2-inch Receiver # MPG544 will cut the capacity of the hitch. For your 600 pound-rated hitch, it will be cut to 300 pounds. It will not affect the weight rating of your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon (it will remain 200 pounds). It is correct when you say that the tongue weight is the lesser of 600/2 and 200. In your case, you would make sure that the cargo and bikes plus bike rack plus cargo basket etc. is less than 200 pounds.
view full answer... - High Low Adapter Solution for Carrying Winch Plate at Higher LocationThe Malone part # MPG544 wasn't rated for use with a winch like you mentioned and since it's not overly heavy duty I wouldn't recommend it as a first choice. Instead I would recommend you go with the Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount part # 325-GH-515 which has several hitch openings that you could use for mounting the winch plate.

If you were curious about the same measurement on the Curt Hitch # C12091, that distance is also about 5 inches. The Malone Dual Extender # MPG544 will provide you with about 7-3/8 inches of shank length after your bumper as well as 7-1/2 inches of rise.

One is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are used in by 50 percent and also this has it's own 400 lb capacity. So you would need to make sure that your motorcycle and carrier weighs less than 400 lbs and also that your hitch has at least twice the capacity needed for the weight of your motorcycle and carrier.

- Adding A 6 Hitch Riser For A Thule T2 Pro Connected to Volvo XC90According to my research, the tongue weight capacity for the XC90 is 400 pounds for Front Wheel Drive (FWD) and 500 pounds for the All Wheel Drive (AWD). Tongue weight is the weight exerted down on the vehicle's receiver, much like bike racks, cargo racks, or the tongue of a trailer would. The tongue weight capacity of your Draw-Tite hitch is 900 pounds. However, the use of any adapter or extension on a hitch reduces the capacity 50%. That reduces your tongue weight capacity of the hitch...

I bought this to give me the ability to attach my bicycle rack in addition to my tow bar. It has worked perfectly. After looking around and not being certain of what I would receive after ordering, I elected to order from Etrailer as they have always provided exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.
