Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Ford Expedition Towing Small Camper

Question:

hi Im considering purchasing this D210 but Im thrown off by comment about reducing the hitch rating by 50. Can I use this as long as I dont exceed the 750 lbs of tongue weight and 7500 GTW. Tow vehicle is 2018 Ford Expedition and Im looking to tow 4200 boat and also use bike rack and bikes weighing about 75-100lbs.

I have a great solution for you, but when you put a bike rack in the # D210 upper hitch opening you do cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. So instead I'd recommend the Jack-It bike rack adapter # LC429756 which attaches to the trailer jack mounting plate and gives you a higher bike rack to carry two bikes. If each of your bikes is between 75 and 100 lbs though we don't have a great solution.
