Features to know about

Tows and Carries Gear at the Same Time: Built-In 2" Accessory Receiver

It’s tough to choose between towing your trailer and hauling your bike rack or cargo carrier. This ball mount solves that by adding a 2" square accessory receiver above the ball platform. You can tow through the lower mount and still run a hitch-mounted accessory up top. It’s built as one solid piece, not an add-on adapter, so you keep all 5,000 lbs gross towing weight and 500 lbs tongue weight capacity when using both together.

MaxxTow ball mount with dual receiver design in black powder-coated steel for simultaneous towing and accessory attachment on 2-inch hitch receivers.

Holds Up to Regular Use: Black Powder-Coated Steel Construction

Road grit, rain, and salt can quickly eat through cheap coatings. The MaxxTow shank and receiver are made of sturdy steel with a black powder coat that resists corrosion through long trips and daily towing. It’s a simple fixed design without extra joints or bolts to loosen up over time.

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 2-1/4" Drop for a Balanced Tow

A level trailer tows smoother and stays stable on the road. This mount gives you a 2-1/4" drop from the inside of the hitch opening, helping align your coupler height for even load handling. The long 12-1/2" spacing from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole keeps plenty of room between your setup and the bumper for easy hookup.

Straightforward Setup: Works with Standard 2" x 2" Hitch Receivers

Slide the shank into any 2" receiver, add a hitch ball with a 1" shank diameter (sold separately), secure it with your own pin or lock, and you’re set to tow. The accessory receiver is designed only for hitch-mounted gear, so it’s perfect for bike racks or cargo carriers when you need to bring everything along.

  • 2019 MINI Cooper S with Automatic Transmission Compatibility with Tow Dolly and Bike Rack
    Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions. If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Highlander
    For your 2017 Toyota Highlander the best hitch option is the Draw Tite # DT65MR as it has the best capacity and has a great price. Hitch installs are pretty basic for qualified mechanics. The best advice I can give would be to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them install it. I attached an install video as well for you to check out to see if you might be able to tackle it yourself.

  • Recommended Ball Mount w/a 2" Receiver for a Bike Rack or Cargo Carrier
    Welcome back Sean! The 2" receiver part of the MaxxTow Ball Mount item # MT70066 does not have it's own capacity. The entire ball mount has a 500 lbs tongue weight limit. What that means is you'll need to take the combined weight of your bike rack and E-bikes, which you said is not much at 100 lbs, and then add your trailer's tongue weight. So long as this number's under 500 lbs you'll be good. If you're not towing your trailer your bike rack has the full 500 lbs capacity. If you find...

  • Hitch Adapter That Is Compatible With Motorcycle Carrier And Pop Up Camper
    MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 1-5/8" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 will allow you to use a motorcycle carrier and still give you the ability to tow. This ball mount will require a hitch ball like # 63845. I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch - 76" Long - Steel - 500 lbs # e98873 for your motorcycle. This will already max out the tongue weight of this adapter that is rated for 500 lbs. If you choose to tow as well you would be beyond...

  • MaxxTow Ball Mount with Accessory Receiver Compatibility with Hitch Tongue Weight Rating
    The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 when using both the ball mount and bike rack together will not impact the tongue weight rating of your hitch receiver. This will work for you based on the weights you gave. If you use the ball mount portion alone, the tongue weight also isn't impacted. It is only when you use the accessory hitch receiver alone that the additional torque is added and the tongue weight of your hitch is altered.

  • Recommendation for Towing Pop-up Camper with 2016 Silverado 1500 and 4 Bikes
    I've tried every possible option I can think of to get that bike rack and adapters to allow you to tow at the same time and unfortunately there really isn't a solution that will work with a single hitch receiver compatible with your 2016 Silverado 1500 because multiple adapters are not an option due to the restriction on tongue weight. An option is to use a front mounted hitch like # C31069 with the bike rack and then use the rear receiver for towing your trailer, but that does seriously...

  • How to Raise a Cargo Carrier on a Minivan for More Ground Clearance
    The best option I have for you is to use the MaxxTow Ball Mount part # MT70066 which will raise the cargo carrier another 6" off the ground. The reason I recommend this option over other adapters is because it will not reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50% like all of the other options will. The ball mount portion will not be needed for your application but is needed for strength. The Blue Ox Towbar Drop or Rise Receiver part # BX88130 is designed for flat-towing only and cannot be...

  • Recommended Ball Mount For Towing And Accessory Mount For Cargo Carrier
    For your application, I recommend the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210. This will allow you to tow your motorcycle as well as carry your grill with a cargo carrier like the 31x47 Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs, # PS1040100. This cargo carrier is 48 inches long x 32 inches wide x 3 inches deep. It also has a 4 inch shank rise. You will want to make sure your cargo carrier will allow your...

  • Is the MaxxTow Ball Mount With 2 Inch Accessory Receiver Offered With More Drop
    I do have an option for you but the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver part # MT70066 is not offered with a 6" drop. The only option we have that would allow you to mount a hitch ball that far below the receiver tube and then place a hitch mounted accessory above this would be with the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers part # 325-GH-404 for 5" drop or part # 325-GH-504 for 7-1/2" drop. If you placed the 2-Ball Mount part # 325-GH-031 in the bottom receiver tube...

  • Carrying Bikes and Towing a Kayak Trailer with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    Technically you could use the MaxxTow Ball Mount, # MT70066, with a 1-1/4 to 2 inch hitch adapter, but I would not recommend doing this and I would bet that you would not be happy with this setup. There would be a lot of movement with the bike rack and bikes, even with anti-rattle devices and the use of an adapter will decrease the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by half. This means the weight of the bike rack, bikes and trailer will have to be lower than half the tongue weight...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of the Top Receiver for the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ Receiver # MT70066
    The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 has a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) of 5,000 lbs and a a Tongue Weight (TW) of 500 lbs. The 500 lb TW is a combination of both the top receiver and the ball mount. Typically the TW of a vehicle is about 10% of the towing capacity. Since your 2018 Honda Ridgeline is rated for 5,000 lbs of towing it most likely has a TW of 500 lbs. You would be pushing or exceeding the TW of both this ball mount and your Ridgeline with your power wheelchair...

  • How To Tow Popup Camper and Hitch Mount Bike Rack At The Same Time
    You are correct in that it will not work for you to tow your popup camper with the MT70070 dual hitch. In order to carry your hitch mount bike rack while towing your camper, you will want to use something like the MaxxTow Ball Mount with 2 Inch Accessory Receiver # MT70066. This will provide you with a ball mount to tow your popup and a 2 inch receiver in which to carry your bike rack. The # MT70066 will not extend out from your vehicle in the same way as the # MT70070. This means that...

  • Option For Carrying Bike Rack and Towing Trailer When Dual Hitch Adapter Doesnt Have Enough Drop
    The only drop the dual hitch adapters we offer like the MaxxTow part # MT70066 have is 2-1/4 inches. Sounds like you may be looking for a solution to tow your trailer level and carry a bike rack. For that you can use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk part # CC-275 which attaches to the a-frame of the trailer and gives you a hitch opening you can carry a bike rack in. I attached a review video for this adapter as well as a review video that shows how it works as well.

  • Options for Carrying Bikes and Towing a Boat Trailer with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    I may have a solution for your situation, but we do not offer a ball mount with an accessory receiver for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches. These types of ball mounts are only available for 2 inch trailer hitches. Instead, I recommend looking into a roof mount or trunk mount bike rack for your bikes. If you can tell me the year, make and model of your vehicle, I would be happy to make a more specific recommendation for your setup. I have also attached links to our roof mount and trunk mount...

  • Recommendation for Adapting Hitch Receiver for Bike Rack
    Most bike rack manufacturers make adapters for their 1-1/4 inch shafts to fit a 2 x 2 inch trailer receiver. If you want to send me the manufacturer and model information for your bike rack, I am happy to make a recommendation for you. Another route you could take is to use a hitch adapter, such as this Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This hitch adapter would allow you to use your 1-1/4 inch bike rack with your 2 x 2 inch hitch receiver without pushing your bike rack as far away from your...

  • Compatibility of Bike Rack Receiver Mount while Towing Pop-Up Camper
    The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 will work as long as you have 6 inches of clearance for the hitch pin hole of your receiver to the edge of the bumper. The Curt # D210 is rated for up to 7,500 lbs and is slightly shorter. You will need 5 inches of clearance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the outermost edge of the bumper to not make contract with the top receiver tube. Your other options are the Stromberg Carlson...

    It is possible that the MaxxTow Ball Mount with 2 Inch Accessory Receiver # MT70066 will work for you, but you will want to take a quick measurement or two first. The # MT70066 measures 8 inches from the hitch pin hole on the base to the hitch pin hole on the accessory receiver, and 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole on the base to the rearmost point on the accessory receiver. You will want to ensure that you have enough clearance at your bumper for the MaxxTow # MT70066 to...

  • What Is The Best Way To Carry Bikes On A Pop Up?
    Adding a roof rack like the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 would require drilling to install. The rack installs on the roof of your pop-up camper by first picking out the desired location of the roof rack. You will then take a 1/8-inch drill bit and drill holes through the roof that line up with the holes on the feet of the roof rack. Using the included hardware you will then bolt the crossbars onto your roof to secure the roof rack. It has a weight capacity of 200lbs so that...

  • Carrying Two Kayaks on 2018 Chevy Colorado That is Towing a Trailer
    While I like that you're thinking of alternatives, what you are proposing is not going to work because a dual hitch extension such as the MaxxTow # MT70066 will reduce the capacity of your 2018 Chevy Colorado's hitch by half - including the tongue weight. I am unsure of the exact roof rack you have on your '18 Colorado but you may be able to put a kayak carrier directly on the roof if your crossbar spread is enough. For example, the Thule's The Stacker # TH830 if the crossbars on your...

  • Using An Extended Length Ball Mount for Towing with a Bike Rack
    Yes, you can use an extended ball mount like part # BM20 to give more space for a bike rack to be used such as the Swagman Traveler XCS part # S64664 or the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack part # C18013. I have attached a list of the extended length ball mounts that we offer below. If you already have a bike rack then you can use the MaxxTow Ball Mount part # MT70066. However, the drop that you require to tow level must be 2-1/4" or close in order to use this ball mount. If your drop is 2-1/4"...

  • How To Mount A Bike Rack On A Vehicle That Is Pulling A Trailer
    I have a solution for you, however, we do not carry any trailers that have a receiver at the back. Even if we did, this would not be safe due to the excess weight that the bike rack would add to the back of trailer; this could cause unstable conditions and very bad swaying. Your best bet is to use MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066. This handy adapter slides into your 2" hitch receiver on your vehicle and will give you a ball mount AND 2" receiver. This means you can...

  • Ball Mount to Tow a Tow Dolly and Carry a Spare Tire and Carrier at the Same Time
    I actually recommend the Curt model # D210 because it has a higher capacity both for gross weight, 7,500 pounds, and overall tongue weight, 750 pounds. As long as the combined weight of the tow dolly's tongue weight and the spare tire and carrier does not exceed 750 pounds you will be good to go. I have linked a video review of the D210 for you.

  • Can MaxxTow MT70066 Ball Mount/Receiver Flat Tow a Vehicle and Carry Bike Rack at the Same Time
    If both the trailer ball and the receiver portion of the # MT70066 is used at the same time, the 500 lb tongue weight capacity of the # MT70066 won't be reduced. Flat towing a vehicle doesn't apply any tongue weight to the ball mount/receiver so as long as the weight of the bike rack and the bikes don't exceed the 500 lb tongue capacity of the ball mount/receiver or the tongue weight capacity of the hitch (whichever is lower), this ball mount will work great for you for carrying the bike...
