Dual Hitch Accessory For Carrying Bike Rack and Towing Trailer
Question:
Hi, Am looking at purchasing this: MT70070 I have a 1999 coleman pop up trailer at about 2400lbs loaded, and a 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee with towing capacity of 7200lbs. If I get this dual hitch and use a thule bike rack in the top receiver and a curt 8inch ball mount in the lower receiver for the trailer will it be safe? I see from others that you do not recommend? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Instead of the MT70070 I have a much better solution that would be ideal for you. The part # D210 has a hitch opening on the top for an accessory like a bike rack and then has a ball mount platform on the bottom. Since this isn't a hitch adapter you don't end up losing hitch capacity.
