Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Malone two inch dual purpose hitch receiver. The biggest thing you'll notice about this product is that it has two receiver tubes. This unit allows you to use a hitch mounted bike rack or cargo carrier, while towing a trailer. It's made from a durable steel construction. It features a black, powder-coated finish, which is designed to resist rust and corrosion, making sure that the unit looks good and will last for a long time. This part number actually comes with some anti-rattle devices.This one right here is for use at the vehicle hitch.
You can see here, according to the instructions, it shows you exactly how to install that, and the plate can either go on top of the hitch, or according to this picture can go on the bottom. You'll notice that part of the plate makes contact with the receiver tube of the hitch on your vehicle. The other part of the plate makes contact with the shank of this unit right here, the dual purpose hitch receiver. As you tighten down those bolts, it applies pressure, which actually takes the shank of this unit to one side of the hitch, which is really going to help reduce, if not completely eliminate, rattle and vibration from within the hitch.Then it also uses these two bolts right here, so there's threaded holes that go into the body of each tube. Once your accessory is slid into here, you can tighten the bolts, which will then put pressure on that shank, pushing it to one side or an edge of the receiver tube, again eliminating or at least drastically reducing the amount of play vibration rattle from within the hitch.
You can use a fourteen millimeter or nine-sixteenth inch wrench or socket to tighten these bolts down. A few measurements I want to mention for you real quick. You'll also notice that it comes with a pin and clip. That's a standard five-eighth inch hitch pin, and the clip that goes with it is included. I do want to go over some basic measurements for you.This portion slides into the receiver tube of your hitch.
This receiver tube would be used to install a ball mount, that way you can connect to your trailer. This receiver tube would be used for your hitch mount accessories, such as a bike rack or a cargo rack. The distance between this pin hole to this pin hole center on center is twelve and three-eighths of an inch. From this pin hole to this pin hole going at a straight line center on center, is ten and three-eighths of an inch. The distance that we have between the receiver pin holes, so from this one going straight up to these right here, that's seven and a half inches on center.
You will notice that this receiver tube has two pin holes, so whatever works best for your accessory. That's why those are there. Slide your accessory into this receiver tube, line up the pin hole that lines up with the pin hole on the shank of your accessory, and secure it with the pin and clip or hitch lock.Now, always keep in mind that using an adapter like this will reduce the overall weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. That's going to do it for today's look at the Malone two inch dual purpose hitch receiver.

Great product came with all the Hardwear which worked so well I ordered a second kit for the bike rack I use on the top reciever 577053
Got the product in, looks great quality is excellent and got it fast. 517093
Very sturdy and all around well built. This is a good piece of gear. It comes with that U-bracket and plate shown in the photo. After you get the dual-hitch installed, you mount that bracket and plate over the joint so the joint does not move in the hitch. I purchased this with the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack. I installed it on my Class A RV so I could carry the bikes on the top receiver and tow my vehicle with the bottom. This system works very well. Nothing moves and everything goes down the road very smoothly. Purchase with confidence. 588719
Love double hitch. Used it for a year now and am happy. The 2 large electric bikes and bike rack really test the hitch, the u bolt and set screws keep the bikes from moving, I don’t need to tie or strap the bikes down. Since I am pulling the car there is little weight on the hitch and works great. 610412
Be aware that as mentioned in the product description, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch is reduced by half when an extension like this part is used. Youll want to ensure that the weight of the bikes and rack does not exceed 50 of the hitch tongue weight capacity.

Mike L - 03/05/2019Great product. Needed this for two reasons. 1. I needed to be able to load both bikes and a cargo carrier on the back of a Jeep Cherokee. 2. I also needed more room between the bike rack and the rear cargo door to load and unload with out having to tilt the bike rack. 580445
Bought this to raise bike rack on RV bumper above taillights and license. Although cheaper available, this one is better in many respects--rise is full 7.5 inches rather than 5 or 6, comes with anti-rattle plate and anti-rattle bolts on both upper and lower receivers, superior fit and finish, outer rim reinforcement on both upper and lower receivers, draw bar is solid steel, has full 5/8 pin and 3/8 anti-rattle hardware. Well worth the money. I believe we should support companies willing to give us better products. 467265
The product is exactly as advertised. The delivery was exceptionally fast. Thank you. 519868
I ordered this dual, vertical trailer hitch so that I could use the bike rack and pull the tent trailer at the same time with my 2006 Honda CR-V. Although I haven't actually road tested it yet, the hitch is really well constructed and all measurements that I needed to assure the proper clearances are right on. I think it will work fine, but I will feel better when I can road test it. 480726
The Marlowe is on my buddys Suburu to raise his ebike up so his custom carrier doesn't scrape the ground going through driveway gutters. Works well so far. No pictures yet as he hasn't carried anything yet. 524831
