• How Can I Transport My 320 Sport Bike on My 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe?
  I have a way for you to safely transport your dual sport bike on your vehicle. I went ahead and looked up the specs for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it has a maximum gross towing weight capacity of 2,800 pounds. If this is the case, the maximum tongue weight capacity of your vehicle is 280 pounds. With this tongue weight capacity, you cannot safely mount via a hitch carrier that requires tongue weight. This is because no matter what hitch you use, your sport bike exceeds that 280 tongue...

• How to Determine the Correct Trailer Ball Mount and Measuring For Rise and/or Drop
  Most light duty trailers have a 17 inch coupler height, give or take an inch. Using the ballmount help page you were looking at, measure your hitch height on your truck and select a ball mount with the proper rise or drop to get you to 17 inches. The hitch on my Escape is 19 inches from the ground to the inside top edge of the hitch. So to get to 17 inches I would use a 2 inch drop ball mount like part # C45010 or part # C74WR or even the # WSFH2-2 with a built-in scale. I have included...

• Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch w/ Mount Not Welded On & Minimal Rise/Drop For Curt RockerBall

Otherwise, since you don't want the platform welded on, you'll need to go with a single-piece aluminum ball mount, and there is one that is rated for 8,000 lbs towing, fits a 2" hitch (or receiver bar), and has a 1" hole for the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047.

• What Rooftop Tent Solution do You Recommend for My 2012 Honda Pilot?
  I have a tent solution for you. I researched all of our available roof racks for mounting on a bare-roof 2012 Honda Pilot, and unfortunately all of our available roof racks have very limited weight capacity due to the clip/clamp-on style. For a roof top tent, it is strongly recommended to either mount crossbars on flush or raised factory rails. This is because the weight capacity of these attachment styles are higher and can accommodate a safe amount of static weight capacity needed to...

• Which Wiring Harness, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball and Lock Should be Used for Salt Water Towing
  For a 2010 Honda Pilot, you would use T-One Wiring harness, part # 118491. There is no cutting or splicing involved, it just connects to the factory tail light connectors. With exposure to salt-water, I would stick with aluminum or stainless steel for your other products as they will hold up the best. I assume you have a 2 inch hitch receiver, so I would use part # e98882. It is a stainless steel hitch lock with a limited lifetime warranty. The drawbar and ball you need will depend on...
