What is the Tongue Weight of the Draw-Tite # 76143 on My 2018 Model X?
Question:
I have the Bosal factory hitch that came on my vehicle. It says that there is a vertical weight limit as well as a maximum tongue weight. It says that the tongue weight is 500 pounds and the maximum vertical rating is 121 pounds. Then there is a sticker that says not to exceed 200 pounds max on the hitch with bikes.

Expert Reply:
When we have listed tongue weights, the tongue weight rating is the weight that a hitch can handle vertically pressing down on the receiver. This is the vertical weight/accessory rate rating you are asking for. The maximum gross trailer weight, on the other hand, is the horizontal weight of anything that is attached to the hitch (pulled from behind).
Since the tongue weight on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143 is 750 pounds, it will be able to accommodate a 375-pound power chair and a 75-pound chair lift carrier. Also, this total of 450 pounds does not exceed the maximum tongue rating of your 2018 Tesla Model X 75D (which is 500 pounds). One thing to keep in mind is to make sure that the 375-pound power chair does not exceed the weight capacity of your carrier.
