Compatibility of Motorcycle Carrier on Mid-Size Coupe or Sedan
Question:
Id like to carry my 400# motorcycle BMW R80ST on the back of my Camry. It looks like the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2inch Hitches - With Ramp - 80inch Long - 500 lbs could do this, but Id need an appropriate hitch. Suggestions?

Expert Reply:
A Toyota Camry is not able to carry that kind of tongue weight. The only hitches we have available have a max tongue weight rating of 200 lbs max. Then because it is a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, you would also need an expander like # HTAD that would reduce the weight capacity of the hitch by 50% leaving you unable to even carry 50 lbs.
If you would like a confirmed fit for your Camry, I need to know the model year as it is a great option to tow your motorcycle with a trailer.
The Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp # UF48-979033 will be able to carry your BMW R80ST motorcycle and is a great option when used on a vehicle with the capacity to carry it. In most cases this would only be on a mid-size or full-size truck.
