• What Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover do You Recommend for My 2021 GMC Sierra 1500?
  For your 6-1/2 foot bed on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, you are correct in saying that the Adarac racks will attach into your truck's stake pockets to allow you to use a tonneau cover with it. Specifically, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4003497. Apart from the 500 pound maximum weight capacity of the rack, another benefit is the fact that the uprights do not taper inward toward the truck's bed. This is really important if you use a folding cover or a roll-up...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Mobility Scooter Carrier for 2006 Chrysler 300
  On your mother-in-law's 2006 Chrysler 300, there is a sticker normally on the driver's door that gives you the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) for the front and rear axles not to be exceeded. To determine the maximum loading conditions of the vehicle, locate the statement “The combined weight ofoccupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue weight (mobility scooter...

• Recommended Cargo Carrier and Ratchet Straps for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  Hey Dave yes, the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 is perfectly acceptable for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and will work great with a 2" class III trailer hitch. I'm not too sure what you plan on hauling, but you'll need to keep it tied down regardless, so I'd also suggest grabbing a set of ratchet straps # EM34415 to keep everything in place. If there is anything else you need help with, feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

• Does the TracRac SR Fit Simultaneously with the BAK Revolver X4s on My 2022 Ford F-150?
  Based on your recently-searched parts, I am assuming you have a 5-1/2 foot bed on your 2022 Ford F-150. If that is the case, the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-508 and the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK56ZR are definitely compatible. I went ahead and attached a photo of a neighbor using the TracRac SR and the X4s on his Ford F-150. However, while it is not a huge issue, there may be some very slight rubbing against the base of the innermost sliding upright of the TracRac SR since they angle toward...

• Best Solution for Carrying E-Bike on a Travel Trailer Using a Carrier with a Ramp
  I do have a couple of solutions for you but you do have a very unique situation so there isn't a perfect solution that is able to address all of your concerns. The best solution is to install a trailer hitch like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13704 (which fits frames from 22" to 68-1/2" wide) on your travel trailer and then use the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 to carry your bike. Since this has a ramp (like the EasyFold XT #TH903202) it will help make loading...

• Choosing Correct Hitch Tongue Weight Capacity for Using a 4-Bike Platform Bike Rack on Honda CR-V
  The Curt Class III trailer hitch # C13119 does have a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) rating as you noted, and that capacity must be enough for the weight of the bike rack itself plus that of your loaded bikes. A substantial 4-bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR1400Z weighs about 80-lbs all by itself. Add the bikes and you are indeed talking about a hefty load on the hitch. In your case I absolutely agree that using a higher-rated hitch like Draw-Tite # 75742 is the way to...

• Best Versatile Tie-Down Options for a Cargo Trailer
  I am not sure how many of the Erickson E-Track systems you have seen but it really is your best bet when it comes to versatility and functionality. Not only do they have the Horizontal E-Track, like part # E19148, but they also have Vertical E-Track like part # E19146. You could install both types of track on your cargo trailer (if it is enclosed) and then move the attachment points around by either using the Erickson E-Track Strap # EM59136 or using the Tie-Off w/ D-Ring # E59143 along...

• How to Reduce Excessive Trailer Noise Banging/Rattling
  It sounds to me like the hinge pin on your trailer's tailgate is worn and is causing excessive movement which will result in a noisy ride. In order to secure the tailgate to the trailer while driving down the road I recommend using a set of ratchet straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps part # EM34415. In order to reduce movement and rattling from the ball mount inside the receiver tube you will want to use an anti-rattle hitch pin such as the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver...

• Hitch Carrier for Yamaha Zuma 125 Scooter Compatible with Class C Motorhome
  Any accessory carrier made for use on a motorhome or trailer does need to be constructed for that specific application. The reason is that the distance from a motorhome's rear axle to the hitch is typically much greater than that on a passenger car or SUV. That longer distance translates to more motion and stress applied to the hitch and to whatever device is installed in it, such as a scooter or dirt bike carrier. The issue with scooters as compared to a typical dirt bike is that the...

• Hitch Cargo Carrier Strap Recommendations
  For the etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 that you referenced you have a couple options. You can use a stretchable cargo net like the part # H9500100 and/or you can use a ratchet type strap like the # EM34415. I attached a review video for you to check out that shows how ratchet straps are typically used. For the ultimate in cargo control I would recommend using both, but just the straps would work fine as well for larger items.

• Recommended Load Stops for Square Crossbars
  If your Leer Camper has a Thule SquareBar like item # TH712400 you will be able to use the Thule Load Stops for Square Load Bars item # TH503. These load stops fit square crossbars that are 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall. It doesn't matter how long they are. If you have a different brand of crossbars I would just need to know the dimensions of them and try to find something that will fit. Square bars don't have a lot of options for accessories so you may need to go with a set of the Erickson...

It has usable platform dimensions of 47-3/4 inches long x 31-3/4 inches wide x 2-3/4 inches deep. A standard push lawnmower should be within those guidelines.

• What Determines Cargo Weight Limit for Hitch Carrier Installed on RV Bumper Hitch
  The amount of actual cargo weight you can safely transport on a hitch cargo carrier installed in a bumper-mounted hitch is determined by the lowest-rated component. Those components consist of the RV's bumper, the hitch such as # UF35-946401 that is mounted on it, and the cargo carrier itself. The lowest-rated of the three items will determine overall capacity. If you have a 500-lb-rated cargo carrier like Curt # C18151 and install this in the 200-lb-rated Ultra-Fab RV Hitch # UF35-946401...

• Solution for Carrying Mobility Scooter with Trailer Hitch Carrier on 2015 Chevrolet Equinox
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately, we do not have a hitch cargo carrier that will work well to transport a mobility scooter with your 1-1/4 inch, Class II trailer hitch. All of the Class II compatible cargo carriers we offer are either enclosed carriers or flat carriers that do not have a ramp to easily load a scooter.

• Recommended Method to Carry Kayaks on 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE with Factory Roof Rack
  There are several ways you can go to rig your 2015 Toyota Highlander with fixed factory roof crossbars for transporting kayaks. Adding a secondary roof rack is not an option, however, since aftermarket racks would have to use the same mounting points as your OEM bars. I confirmed this with my contacts at both Rhino-Rack and Thule. But there are also other ways you can carry kayaks that might give you additional cargo-carrying capabilities and/or possibly save you some money as compared...

• Attaching Ratchet Straps to a Thule AeroBar Roof Rack on a 2017 Honda Pilot
  I went to our warehouse and measured the webbing loop of the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps, part # EM34415 . In this case, you won't be able to get them around the bar. they measure only 2-3/4 inches in length and won't make it around the 3-1/4 inch diameter aeroblades. Your best bet is something like a Ratchet Grab Tie-Down, part # RRSRG that mounts into the C-Channel of your crossbars and allows you to connect to the bar itself or to an installable Eye-bolt, part # S604. I test...

• Can Reese PS1040100 Cargo Carrier Be Used for Carrying Rototiller
  As long as the footprint of your rototiller will fit upon the 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide inside dimension of the # PS1040100 carrier, it'll work perfectly for you. The factory hitch and the carrier is more than capable of handing the weight of the tiller. I'd also recommend a locking hitch pin like # e98882 and some ratchet straps like # EM34415 from Erickson, if you don't already have some. You might also be interested in the optional # 6504 light kit and the # PS1040200 ramp kit. The...
