Question:
Can I also attach securely a hitch style bike carrier to the trailing side of the cargo carrier?
asked by: James T
Expert Reply:
Trailer hitch mount cargo carriers like # 63153 are neither rated for nor large enough to accept a trailer hitch mount bike rack. Doing so would create an excessive amount of stress on the receiver and damage the hitch and vehicle.
What you can do is use a cargo carrier like # 6500 or # 6501, and then use the bike adapter, # 6505, to carry a bike on the cargo carrier.
