Expert Reply:

The Valley Trailer Hitch Ballmount with 2 Inch Receiver will work great for you as long as you do not exceed the 500 lb tongue weight capacity. Since the tongue weight of a trailer is calculated as being 10 to 15 percent of the loaded trailer weight, we will figure your tongue weight is a maximum of 255 lbs. This would mean that anything used on the receiver could weigh no more than 245 lbs. The typical bicycle weighs around 30-35 lbs, and the 4 bike racks that we offer all weigh between 25 and 60 lbs.
