- 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.

- 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...

- 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.

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... - Scooter Carrier for the Back of an RV and a Burgman 400 Scooter
- 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Snow Plow and Mounting Brackets for 1997 Ford F-150
- The snow plow I suggest for your 1997 Ford F-150 is the Detail K2 Rampage II # K2RAMP8219. It uses a remote controlled electric winch to adjust the plow. It also has springs so the plow will lean forward when it comes into contact with an unseen object. This will protect the plow and your truck.
To mount the plow you'll need # K281512 if your truck is a 4-wheel drive model or # K281511 if it's 2-wheel drive.

- 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.

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... - 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.

view full answer... - Are Thule Easyline Trailer Kits Available?
- 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.

- The Replacement Cross Member Plow Attachment for Detail K2 Snowplows # K2CRM3312 is what is used to connect to the custom fit mounting brackets. These brackets are used instead of a front mounted hitch receiver. I pulled the part from our warehouse and it is a long u-shaped piece made of 2x2 tubing with 2 holes for mounting and 2 tabs along the outer curve. I've attached a photo of a similar tab to help. The bar itself is just over 3-1/2 feet long and has just the two tabs and then...

- 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... - 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...
view full answer... - Using a Ladder Rack and Toolbox at the Same Time on a 2014 Chevy Silverado
- 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.
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.

- 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.

- 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...

- 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...

However, since you said you have a Class I hitch receiver you should verify that your tow vehicle is rated for towing a trailer and how much weight it can tow. The hitch you purchased will have a rating but you are limited by the lowest rated component which is often the vehicle.

- 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.

- 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.
