Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount Recommend for Towing a 2010 Coleman Utah with a 2011 Ford Explorer

Question:

I hope you guys can help me figure this out... I have a 2011 Ford Explorer which I use to haul a 2010 Coleman Utah gvwr 3500. Im wanting to add my Allen Deluxe 3 bike hitch mounted carrier to the mix but Im very unsure if I can use a hitch extension rated at 4000lbs or a Curt D210 ball mount with receiver for bike rack. My other concern here is I have a sway bar that goes from the camper to the hitch. If I utilize the Curt solution I lose the ability to use the sway bar, correct? Also, the current configuration Im using required a rise of 2 inches which I dont think the Curt hitch can provide. I hope this isnt too confusing and hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

I believe your best option for carrying a bike rack and towing your 2010 Coleman Utah camper would be to use a Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. This would allow you to carry your bike rack in the top opening and tow your trailer with the ball mount portion. Without knowing what brand of sway control you have it is hard to say if you still would be able to use it with the # D210.
