Dual Hitch Recommendation for Carrying a Thule Apex Bike Rack and Towing a Small Trailer
Question:
Im trying to find out which dual hitch receiver I should purchase. Im looking to be able to mount my Thule Apex swing away 4 bike carrier and also pull a smaller tent trailer.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Dual Reciever Hitch # D-192 that you referenced should work well for you as long as the hitch on your vehicle has the capacity for the tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of your Thule Apex Swing Away Carrier # TH9027 and bikes.
You should note that when you use a hitch extender such as the # D-192 you cut the capacity of the hitch in half. So as long as you confirm that you have enough capacity you should have no problem using this setup.
I attached an FAQ article on how to determine tongue weight and on hitch extenders for you to check out also.

So what is the difference between the Curt D192 and the Curt D210? It seems that the D210 may not have as much rattle?
