The best way to use your hitch at its full carrying potential would be to use a bike rack that is specifically designed to work with a class I h

• Can I use Hitch Adapter Part # HTAD to Use a Class 3 Scooter Carrier on my 1995 Ford Taurus
  
• You can use an adapter like part # HTAD, but it will reduce your hitch capacity by 50 percent. Your hitch should have a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, using this adapter would reduce the hitch capacity to 175 pounds. This means that the combined weight of the scooter and carrier must be 175 pounds or less. All of the 2 inch carriers we have are 80 pounds or more. We do carry a Scooter carrier for Class II 1-1/4 inch hitches. It is part # RHWC1114, and using this carrier would not reduc

• Eliminating Receiver Rattle on 2006 Ford Explorer Using 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Receiver Adapter
  
• The No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge, part # 93347 will likely reduce buy not eliminate the movement you are experiencing. Keep in mind that using the adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of your factory hitch by 50%. If the tongue weight capacity of your hitch is 350 lbs, using the adapter will lower it to 175 lbs. This means that the hitch will only be able to withstand 175 lbs of downward force. My best recommendation for maximum safety would be to install an aftermarket hitch wit

• What is the Gross Towing Weight and Tongue Weight Capacity of the Brophy 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Adapter
  
• The towing and tongue weight capacities of the Brophy 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Adapter are dependent on the hitch itself. Find the tongue weight capacity and the towing capacity of your hitch. Once you find the capacities of the hitch, reduce them by 50 percent and that will give you the weight capacities when using this adapter. Check the owner manual of your vehicle. If the tongue weight or towing weight capacity listed in the owner manual is less than the hitch, you must take 50 percent of figu

• Curt Spare Tire Carrier Rattles and Jumps with 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Adapter
  
• I assume you are referring the Curt Spare Tire Carrier, part # C31006 and one of the Class I hitches you purchased from us. Both of those hitches have a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. However, if you are using the HTAD adapter, the tongue weight capacity is reduced by 50 percent to 100 pounds. Now, the carrier weighs 16 pounds and you said your tire and rim weigh a combined 71 pounds. That gives you a total tongue weight load of 87 pounds, still under your 100 pound limit. What you are he

• Is it Safe to Use a Trailer Hitch Adapter # HTAD on a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Kia Soul
  
• It really depends on what you want to use the hitch for if you need an adapter.

• Needing Receiver Adapter to Lower Cargo Carrier by 7 Inches
  
• So you are looking for an adapter that would lower the 2 inch receiver so that the aluminum cargo carrier can be lowered by 7 inches, is that correct? We carry some Hi-Lo adapters, but they are only for flat towing a vehicle and are not intended to have any weight applied to them. The only item I have that might work for you would be the Curt Multi-Purpose ball mount, part # D210. When this is used in the drop position, it would lower your cargo carrier by 6-3/4 inches.
