Expert Answers about Detail K2
- Recommended Trailer for Towing with a 2017 Subaru Outback Long Distances
- Your 2017 Subaru Outback has a maximum towing capacity or 2700 lbs. For a trailer that will meet your towing needs and hold up to long distances, I recommend the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7. This trailer has the payload capacity of 1640 lbs, but has the GVWR of 2,090 lbs. It has 12 inch wheels, leaf spring suspension, a tilt bed, and has a 2 inch coupler.
I've attached some videos to help further.
view full answer... - Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for the Back of an RV
- I checked with K2 and you are correct the K2 Tilt Down Motorcycle Carrier part # K2TMC201 has been rated for use behind an RV or travel trailer. They offer two versions of this carrier, one without taillights like the part # B04100-1 and then one with taillights that we don't currently carry.
view full answer... - Tilting Motorcycle Carrier that Works on a 24 inch Tall Trailer Hitch
- For a hitch height of 24 inches theThe Detail K2 Carrier part # K2TMC201 that you referenced would be able to tilt down and allow your scooter to be loaded. You would not need to use a ramp.
You would just need to tilt the ramp down and wheel the scooter up.
I attached an install video that shows it being used on a truck hitch that would easily be over 24 inches in height.

- I cannot recommend the use of the K2 motorcycle carrier on the back of an RV or converted Sprinter van in this case. The issue is that this carrier, and most others, are not rated for the additional stress and movement associated with being at the back of such a vehicle.
But there is an option that is rated for use behind an RV. It is Ultra-Fab carrier # UF48-979033. It is rated for 500 pounds which is very close to the weight you mentioned at 485 pounds. Please verify the weight prior...

- We don't have tow bars and base plates compatible with golf carts as they are not able to be flat towed. We do however have the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs # K2MMT5X7 that I recomend for a golf cart application. This trailer is 88" long x 52" wide x 14" tall on the sides. Depending on the wheel base of your golf cart, this may be a good option for you.
view full answer... - Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for the Back of a Class A Motorhome
- RVs and motorhomes have a very long distance between the rear axle of the vehicle and the back of the vehicle. Because of this bumps in the road are greatly exaggerated back there. So anything mounted on the hitch will experience a much harsher ride. To the point certain hitch accessories just aren't rated for it.
There is a solution for you though. The Ultra Fab motorcycle carrier part # UF48-979033 is very similar to the # SC2001 and Ultra Fab has assured us that this carrier can be...

- We offer a few utility trailer kit options, but the Thule Easyline trailer kits were discontinued about about 10 years ago. If you are in the market for a lightweight trailer kit, I recommend looking at either the Detail K2 Mighty Utility Trailer, # K2MMT5X7, which is very similar to the older Thule Easyline trailers or the Detail K2 Multi Utility Trailer, # K2MMT4X6, which has lower sidewalls, but it includes a taller tailgate that can act as a ramp for 4 wheelers and ATVs.

- On your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, if you do not already have a 4-flat trailer plug installed, then you will need to install wiring harness to allow you to use the lights on the Detail K2 trailer, # K2MMT5X7.
The wiring harness that I recommend is the Tekonsha 4-Pole Flat Connector, # 118384. This harness is designed to plug in to the existing wiring of your Jeep with no cutting or splicing. The harness will allow you to run the trailer lights off your vehicle's lights.

- I reached out to my contact at Detail K2 and gathered a few different dimensions that will help you out. The length (side to side) of the Tilt Down Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, # K2TMC201, is adjustable from 56 inches to 76 inches. The overall width of the carrier is approximately 13-1/4 inches from the face of the trailer hitch receiver to the back edge of the wheel tray when it is in the rear-most position.
I have attached a few photos showing these dimensions for you to check out.
view full answer... - Towing a Motorcycle and a Pop-Up Camper
- The only motorcycle carrier we have which can be used behind a pop-up camper is the Detail K2 # K2TMC201, though in order to be used for your 450 lb motorcycle, you'd need a hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, and unfortunately the highest rated hitch we have that will work with a trailer is the Curt # C13701, which has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs.
We do not carry tow dollies for motorcycles so I am unsure of their maximum tongue weight, but if you find one...

- With the Detail K2 ladder rack installed, # K2TFR150, the clamps that hold the base to the truck bed would get in the way of a toolbox. What could possibly work for you is Rola rack # 59742. If you where to clamp the front part back behind the toolbox it could work.

- One of the most popular snow plows we carry is the Detail K2 Rampage II # K2RAMP8219. It measures 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall and can be used at 5 different angles. It's also electric and includes an in-cab switch and wireless remote to control it.
To install the Rampage II onto your 2004 Dodge Ram you will need the mounting brackets. If your truck is a Ram 1500 you'll need part # K284311, and you'll need part # K284312 if it's a 2500 or 3500.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations for Use Behind an RV
- The ride quality at the rear of an RV is much rougher than that of a passenger vehicle. This is largely due to the longer distance between the rear of the vehicle and rear axle. It's like the difference between sitting at the front of a school bus and the much rougher rear seats at the rear. Due to the additional bounce and movement back there not all bike rack manufacturers are willing to approve their bike racks for use on RV's.
We have several racks that are approved though. I attached...

- The Agri-Cover SnowSport Front Mount Hitch A40163 for your 1994 Jeep YJ can work with some K2 plows, the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 which is 84" wide x 22" tall and weighs 283 lbs as well as the Detail K2 Avalanche # K2AVAL8219 which is 82" wide x 19" tall and weighs 265 lbs.

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier for Kawasaki Ninja 650r On 2015 Mazda CX-5 650r?
- For a hitch mounted carrier, your best bet would be the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, part # UF48-979033. The Class III hitches we offer for your CX-5 all have a 525 lb tongue weight capacity. This means that the weight of the bike plus the weight of the carrier you're using can't exceed the tongue weight capacity. With a full tank of gas, your bike weighs about 460 lbs, and when the 45 lb weight of the carrier is added, you'll be very close to that tongue weight capacity so you'll want...
view full answer... - Which Bearing Buddy Fits the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7
- I had the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 pulled from our warehouse and used the Digital Caliper # 301-17068 to find that the hub bore measured 2.041".
Although it is slightly larger than the hub bore, I was able to find that the Bearing Buddy that fits a 2.047" hub bore will fit perfectly on the trailer. This size Bearing Buddy comes in Chrome Plated # BB2047 or Stainless Steel # BB2047SS.
I have attached some review videos of the Bearing Buddy options for...
view full answer... - Does a 2014 Ford F-150 Have Enough Tongue Weight Capacity to Carry a 387 Pound Motorcycle
- Since there are different configurations of the 2014 Ford F-150, it is going to depend on the specific model. The vehicle will have its own tongue weight capacity, some models may have a higher capacity than others. So knowing that ahead of time will help since it would not help to add a hitch with a high tongue weight capacity of the vehicle cannot handle that much weight as well.
So if you can get an F-150 with enough tongue weight capacity without a factory hitch then you could install...
view full answer... - Is there a Ladder Rack that Will Fit a 2006 Chevy Avalanche
- Because the Chevy Avalanche has a unique bed design, there are no ladder racks that will fit it. What you can do is add a roof rack, see link, and also use a trailer hitch, like # C13422 if needed, and use the Thule Goalpost, # TH997, and achieve the same effect.
Or, you could use a universal roof rack single bar, # DTA968, the hitch, and Goalpost, which would be more economical than a complete roof rack.

- I would need to know the year and bed length/cab style of your Nissan Frontier to determine if there are any headache racks that will fit.
We do have a rack that is a ladder rack and sort of a headache rack that might work for you. It is the Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150. It will fit:

- You can get a tire and wheel combo to use as a spare for the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs Item # K2MMT5X7. The trailer uses 5.30-12 load range C tires and a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. So for a spare you can use # AM30850, # AM30820, or # TTWAS53012WS45HP.
To mount the spare I recommend attaching Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4- and 5-Lug Wheels Item # FSTC1000301 to the frame at the front of the trailer.
view full answer... - Recommended Motorcycle Carrier for a 2002 Honda Reflex 200 Scooter that Weighs 360 Pounds Dry
- The carrier I recommend for your Honda Reflex is the K2 tilt down hitch mounted carrier # K2TMC201 because it will work with multiple applications including scooters with rear mounted engines. You will need to ensure the tongue weight of your trailer hitch is at least 440 pounds because your scooter weighs 360 pounds dry and the actual carrier weighs around 80 pounds. Note that your scooter tires must not exceed 4-5/8 inches. I added a picture for you to view too.

- We don't have a video that details how to replace the strap of your K2 Winch like part # K2RASP8219, but I did speak to my contact at K2 and he gave me a brief description of the process.
On the winch there is a u-bolt that needs to get removed after feeding the strap all the way out. He said this is pretty obvious and easy to do. Next, there is a pin holding the strap to the spool. On the side of the winch there are a couple of holes. You will need to line the pin up with one of the...

- The Detail K2 4 bike rack you referenced, part # K2BCR490 includes anti rattle hitch bolts that are compatible with either a 2 inch or 1-1/4 inch hitch, so an additional anti-rattle hitch pin wouldn't be necessary.

- For your trip, you'll be able to carry your cycle as long as the total weight of the carrier plus cycle is less than 500 pounds.
According to my research, this means that you'll want your Kawasaki KLR 650 to be hauled without fuel if possible, where it will be somewhere in the 400 pound range.This means that your carrier will have to weigh 100 pounds or less to stay safely in your tongue weight capacity while hauling the bike.

- For your Honda PCX150 scooter I recommend a carrier that has a solid track. This is because the other style will allow the scooter tires to drop into gaps and that could damage suspension or brake components.
Carriers that have a solid track include the Detail K2 Motorcycle Carrier - 2" Hitches - Tilting # K2TMC201.
It is recommended to have a trailer hitch with a tongue weight capacity of at least 500 pounds. If your Tacoma does have a hitch with at least a 500 pound capacity then...
view full answer... - What is Needed to Add Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow to 1983 Ford F-250?
- To install the Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow # K2RAMP8219 you only need add Custom Mounting Brackets # K281516. The brackets install directly into your F-250's frame so as long as the lift kit on your truck does not have any interference with the frame the brackets will work.
These brackets are a fit for a 1983 Ford F-250 4 wheel drive, bolting onto your truck's frame. Those are the only two items you will need to assemble and plow snow.

- It's not illegal to have the K2 Snow Plow part # K2STOR8422 installed on your truck when traveling on public roads but you would need to be aware that your front license plate may be obstructed as well as your head lights. As far as where you can legally plow that would be a question you would need to ask your local DOT.

- All snowplow kits offered for the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, shown on the linked page, exclude the Sport version from their fits. My technical contact at K2 advised that instead of a front-mount hitch you CAN use their Custom Mounting Bracket kit # K284309. This has no known compatibility issues with the Ram Sport according to my contact. With it you can use a plow like # K2RAMP8219.

- The Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150 that you referenced is designed for clamp-on installation using the four supplied clamps. These grab the underside of the bed rails to secure the rack's tracks, as shown in the linked video.
Certainly it is possible if you prefer a more secure installation to drill holes in the track and the top of the two bed rails to allow for a semi-permanent installation. Although this modification will void the warranty it should not be at...
