Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Ford Escape Carrying a 2007 Suzuki GSXR600
I have a hitch that could work for you as it has a tongue weight rating of 525 lbs. Check out the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87626. I attached an install video and installation instructions for this product also. I did some research and it looks like your 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600 should weight about 420 lbs so if you were to combine that weight with the weight of the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier # MX600 at 64 lbs you would be at about 484 lbs which would be under the capacity of th

Will Rage Double Motorcycle Carrier # AMC6002 Work on 2006 GMC Envoy with 400lb Tongue Weight
The lowest-rated component in a system will determine the overall limit. If your Envoy has a 2-inch trailer hitch receiver rated at 400 lbs tongue weight then 400 pounds is the overall limit when using any type of carrier, including the 600-lb-rated Rage. Against this 400-lb tongue weight capacity counts the actual weight of the carrier itself, which in the case of the Rage # AMC6002 is about 69 lbs. Based on this, your hitch then has a remaining cargo-carrying capacity of about 331 lbs.

How to Carry a Motorcycle and 2 Bikes on a 2007 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab
I have a solution to carry your 2 bikes as well as your motorcycle. The Rage Powersport Motorcycle Carrier, # SMC600, will carry your motorocycle, however, it does not have an additional hitch on the back of the carrier to attach an additional hitch mounted bike rack. In order to carry the two bikes as well as your motorcycle, a roof mounted rack is the only alternative. For the roof of your 2007 Ford F-150 SuperCrew, I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars. The c

Will Rage PowerSport Carrier # MX600 Fit a 2011 Honda Pilot and Carry Honda Metropolitian Scooter
The 2011 Honda Pilot comes equipped with a 2 inch hitch, therefore, the Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier # MX600 will fit your current hitch, however, you will want to check your owners manual to verify the tongue weight capacity of your hitch before any cargo is loaded. The carrier is 64 pounds and, based on my research, your scooter is approximately 180 pounds.

Weight Capacity Rating for Rage Scooter Carrier, Part # AMC400
The Rage Motorcycle Carrier, part # AMC400, can itself carry up to 400 pounds. The carriers 40-lb weight does not count toward that limit. However, the 400-lb maximum load plus the 40-lb weight of the carrier itself mean that the maximum total 440-lb load requires a 2-inch hitch receiver with a tongue weight rating of at least 500 pounds. You will first want to confirm the capacity of your hitch; this will be indicated on the safety/warning sticker. You cannot exceed the tongue weight rating

What Carrier Would Be Used for a Dirt Bike on the Front of a Truck
In determining whether or not a rack on the front of your Ford F250 truck to carry a dirt bike will work, you have a lot of variables to consider. First and foremost, although your hitch will support 600 pounds, you have to check your owners manual to find out what weight your axles will support. If you determine that your truck does have the capacity to carry your dirt bike while taking into consideration the weight of the carrier, I would recommend the Rage Power Sport Carrier part # MX600.

Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier to Carry a 2003 Yamaha Vino Scooter
On scooters like the Yamaha Vino, the rear brake is close to the ground because of the small tires on the scooter. This can cause interference with the carrier so I do not recommend it for your scooter. What I recommend is a carrier with a ramp link # MT70260. This carrier is 50 inches across and 30 inches front to back. The ramp is 60 inches long and this carrier will be much better at holding the scooter than a motorcycle carrier. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for yo

Folded up in its storage position the Rage Hitch-Mount Wheelchair Carrier for 2-inch Class III hitches, Part # SC500-AL105, will extend back from the center of the hitch receiver pin hole by 8-5/8 inches. I confirmed this with my contact at Rage. Unfolded in the down position the carrier provides 17-1/8 inches clearance to the hitch pin hole.

Will the Rage Motorcycle Carrier # MX600 Work to Haul a BMW R800ST with a 1998 Ford Explorer
The weight and wheel base of your BMW R800ST does fall within the specs of the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, but the factor that you will want to consider is tongue weight capacity of your 1998 Ford Explorer. Based on my research, your Explorer could have a maximum tongue weight capacity between 450 lbs and 670 lbs based on the specific model of your Explorer. The tongue weight capacity is typically 10 percent of your vehicles towing capacity. You should first find the ton

You should have no problem mounting the Rage PowerSport Swing-Away Carrier, # SC500-AL105, on your 2005 Toyota 4Runner. This carrier was designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitches and has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. There are two important factors to consider when choosing a hitch mounted accessory.

Which Carrier for 250-lb Motorcycle on 2012 GMC Savanna 1500 with 400-lb Tongue Weight Hitch
Since you indicate your Savanna trailer hitch is rated for 400-lbs tongue weight you would not be able to utilize the full 600-lb capacity of the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, part # SMC600. Your 254-lb motor scooter does not need this much carrying capacity. Rage also offers a 400-lb capacity carrier, part # AMC400. Please refer to the linked video. This is more than adequate to transport the scooter (with some room to spare). Since it weighs less than the larger capacity version (40 l

Compatibility of Rage Powersport # SC500-AL105 Scooter Carrier with 2011 VW Tiguan
To determine if the Rage Swing-Away Scooter Carrier, part # SC500-AL150 will fit on your Tiguan, you will need to measure the distance to your bumper from your hitch pin hole (see diagram). When folded in the downward position, the distance from the hitch pin hole in the shank of the carrier to the closest portion of the carrier is 10-1/4 inches. When folded flat up against the vehicle in its storage position, the closest portion of the carrier is 8-5/8 inches from the hitch pin hole. If t

Motorcycle Carrier and Hitch Recommendation for a 1999 Toyota Tacoma and a Vespa GTS 300
Your 1999 Toyota Tacoma would make a better vehicle to carry your 2012 Vespa GTS 300 than your 2004 Honda Odyssey most likely. Either way I would recommend you check the towing capacities of both of your vehicles and see which vehicle has the capacities to carry the weight of your Vespa plus the weight of a carrier. The Rage Powersport Motorcycle Carrier # SMC600 that you referenced weighs 85 lbs. My guess would be that the Tacoma would have higher capacities, but it still may not have enough

Would the Rage Powersports Double Motorcycle Carrier Carry 2 Dirt BIkes or 1 Street Bike
The Rage PowerSport Aluminum Double Motorcycle Carrier # AMC6002 that you referenced has a 600 lb capacity so as long as your 2 dirtbikes weight less than that you should be fine. Most dirt bikes weight less than 300 lbs a piece but if you have a dual sport dirt bike you will need to be sure. I would recommend you weigh each bike to be sure that they weigh less than a combined weight of 600 lbs. For your street bike that weights 450 lbs this should work very well for you.

2008 Mercedes R350 and Hidden Hitch Class III 87413 for Motorcycle Carrier
If installed according to the instructions, the Hidden Hitch # 87413 has been tested to be able to withstand a maximum of 350 lbs of down force, or tongue weight. When the weight of your carrier plus the bike is deducted from the tongue weight capacity, you are left with 114 lbs of cushion. If you will be driving exclusively on smooth pavement and can avoid pot holes, you should be okay. Taking the vehicle off-road or driving on rough pavement is another issue.

Hitch Mounted Scooter Carrier With Street Side Loading Option
We do have a carrier that will work for you, however I spoke with my contact at Rage PowerSports and he told me that the Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier, # SC500, was not designed to be used in reverse placing the ramp on the driver side. The main reason is because the platform secures to the folding hinge using a bolt and a welded nut on the platform tube. There is not hole or welded nut on the other end of the tube to secure the platform to the folding hinge. Drilling a hole

Will the Rage PoweSport Motorcycle Carrier # SMC600 Carry a Honda Reflex Scooter

This motorcycle carrier has a weight capacity of 600 lbs and the track is 78-3/4 inches long. This is one of the best motorcycle carrier that we offer for scooters with low ground clearance.

Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier to Haul a Yamaha WR250 Behind a Four Winds Class C Motor Home
As long as the trailer hitch on your Four Winds motorhome has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity, you will be able to haul your Yamaha WR250R motorcycle, however, the Rage PowerSort Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, that you referenced is not recommended for use behind a motorhome. Instead, I recommend looking at the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, # UF48-979033. This carrier only weighs approximately 50 lbs, has a weight capacity of 500 lbs, and is approved for use behind motorhomes. The total tongue

Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for a 185 lb Scooter Behind a 2007 Winnebago Vista Motorhome
I have a solution for you, but the problem with putting carriers like the Motorcycle Carrier # MX600 at the rear of a motorhome or RV is that the distance between the rear axle and the hitch is so great that there is a lot of movement at the rear that can put much more stress on the carrier/hitch/frame. This is why Rage specifies that their carrier is not rated for use behind a motorhome. If you have ever ridden at the back of a school bus I am sure you have noticed that the bumps are felt mo

Best Carrier for a 2007 Vespa 250ie GTS to use with a Class A Motorhome
Of the racks you mentioned we only carry the Ultra Fab carrier # UF48-979033 and the Rage Powersports carrier # SMC-600. Between those two only the # UF48-979033 is rated for use on RVs so it would be the one I would recommend. The best possible solution I could provide for you would be to get a Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier # SC2000. This rack will require two additional hitch openings to be welded onto the frame of our RV, but it is our sturdiest carrier and has tie-down arms that are outstret

Is it Recommended to Ride a Power Scooter up the Ramp of the Rage Scooter Carrier
It may be possible to ride your power chair up the ramp of the 28x48 Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier # SC500, but there are a few things to consider and either way I would not recommend you do so. First thing you will need to consider is the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle and hitch that you plan on installing the # SC500 on.You will a tongue weight rating of the weight of the carrier, the weight of the power chair and your weight.

Will the Rage Trailer Hitch Mount Motorcycle Carrier Fit a 2008 Jeep Liberty
There are a couple of things to consider to determine if the Rage motorcycle carrier, # MX600, will work on your 2008 Jeep Liberty. First the Liberty needs to have a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. If it does not, you can add one using # 75578. I have included a link to the instructions and a link to a video showing installation for you. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds. This means that the combined weight of the motorcycle and carrier (the carrier weighs

Is There a 2 inch Cargo Carrer Available for a Toyota Rav4
There are 2 inch hitches available for your RAV4 SUVs, and as long as you have one on your vehicle you could install a cargo carrier designed for 2 inch hitches. However, since I do not know what year vehicle you have I cannot say for certain which 2 inch hitch you would need if you do need one. If you have a hitch now, you will just need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. Once you know this measurement you will be a

Determining Motorcycle Carrier Capacity on 2011 Honda Pilot With Class III Hitch
The Rage PowerSport Aluminum Double Motorcycle Carrier, part # AMC6002, can carry up to 600 pounds. I researched the weights of your two Vespas, 150cc and 250cc, and they can vary somewhat based on specific model. Approximate dry weight for the 150cc is 243 pounds, and 322 pounds dry weight for the 250cc. Even without the weight of fluids in the scooters your total weight load will already be near to the carrier limit. This weight makes the Rage carrier unsuitable for your application.. G

Motorcycle Carrier Comparison for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Carrying a Vespa GTS 250
Both the Rage PowerSport motorcycle carriers and Ultra-Fab carriers offer many advantages. We can first start by eliminating the Rage PowerSport Steel Carrier, # MX600, because it will not work with rear engine mounted scooters. The main advantages that the Rage PowerSport Carrier offers over the Ultra-Fab carrier are easier loading/unloading and the additional dedicated tie-down points. The 72 inch ramp reduces the angle that the bike must take to the carrier making it much easier to push y

The tongue weight capacity of the 2006 Toyota RAV4 will be the key factor to determining if you can carry your 325 lb motorcycle using the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, # AMC400. The tongue weight capacity of the base and sport models of the RAV4 is approximately 150 lbs and the tongue weight capacity of the limited model is approximately 350 lbs.

So if you add those two numbers together you get 344 lbs. We sell 3 different Class III hitches for your 2009 Buick Enclave.
