Front Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier for Ford F-350
Question:
Vehicle is a Ford F-350 with a 5th wheel trailer, and I want to carry my 2008 Suzuki SV650 motorcycle which weighs 370 lb dry, 435 lb wet. With the 5th wheel, I cannot put the bike in the truck bed. Is a front mount hitch for the F-350 my best option? Which front mount hitch and motorcycle carrier do you recommend for 1-person loading/unloading? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For your 2008 Ford F-350 we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 65049 which is a confirmed fit and has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs.
The motorcycle carrier we offer that would work best is the Ultra Fab part # UF48-979033. Reason being it weighs less than the capacity you have left over from the weight of your motorcycle and it has a 500 lb capacity plus a ramp.
