The Roadmaster High-Low Adapter, part # RM-076 will be strong enough to carry the 78 pound carrier with the chair loaded, for a total of 188 pounds.

Based on my research, the vehicle's factory package is rated for 5,000 to 7,000 pounds of trailer weight depending on the specific variation of the vehicle. This gives you an available 500 to 700 pounds of tongue weight. Using this adapter will reduce that by 50 percent, leaving you with 250 to 350 pounds.

You can verify this information in your owner's manual in section 4 and by finding your specific vehicle loadout.
