Will The Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier # SMC600 Fit My 2010 Jeep Wrangler

Expert Reply:

If you have a Class III 2 inch hitch on your 2010 Jeep Wrangler, you will be able to mount the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier # SMC600 to you Jeep. However, the spare tire on the Jeep may interfere with mounting your motorcycle on the carrier. You will need to take some measurements to determine if you will have sufficient clearance to mount the carrier and bike to your Jeep. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the wheel track measures 25 inches.

The weight capacity of the # SMC600 carrier is 600 lbs, and has a track length of 78-3/4 inches, so your 640CC KTM Adventure will fit on the carrier.

You will want to check the tongue weight capacity of your hitch and vehicle as stated in the vehicle owners manual, as you will not want to exceed it. The weight of the carrier, which is approximately 85 lbs, plus the weight of your motorcycle, is considered tongue weight.

The Rage Motorcycle Carrier includes a pin and clip to attach to your hitch, for added security I would recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # 7683.

If you find that you do not have sufficient clearance for your bike to clear the spare tire on your Jeep, you would either have to relocate your spare, or consider another method of carrying your bike, like the Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy, part # RHMC2.
