Hitch Adapter to Allow Towing and Use of Hitch Bike Rack
Question:
Do you have a dual hitch receiver that can tow an 8000 lb travel trailer? The ones Ive found so far here are rated up to 4000 lbs. Tossing the usual Thule bike rack on the top receiver.

Expert Reply:
We do not have a dual hitch adapter rated to tow an 8000-lb trailer. 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.
