• Using a Stabilizing Hitch Clamp for a 80 Pound Cargo Carrier
  The MaxxTow Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp, part # MT70258, doesn't have a specific weight range that it's designed for.

I've included a video that shows how effective...

When a hitch carrier like this is installed and loaded up with a motorcycle (even a relatively light one like a smaller dirt bike) there will always be some rear end sag on the vehicle. In the same way, a vehicle like a pickup truck that can have a front hitch installed to allow use of a snowplow will have the same issue but only on the other end of the vehicle. The...

• What Can Help Control the Bouncing and Shaking Seen on Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers
