Trailer Recommendation for Transporting Harley Motorcycles with a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

Question:

Hello I have a Draw-Tite for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. Just looking for a recommendation for a hitch mount motorcycle carrier. Ideally it could carry either of our bikes 2015 Harley Davidson Street 500 or 2011 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Soft Tail.

The only solution I could make for your would be a motorcycle trailer.

The tongue weight capacity for the Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75579 that you have installed on your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan would not be high enough for you to be able to carry the weight of either of your motorcycles plus the weight of the carrier.

If you need trailer wiring you would want the # C56331.

Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
