Helpful Expert Reply:

Unfortunately, none of your choices are made in the USA.

We do have two carriers made in the USA. They are both enclosed carriers. They are both very high quality, but they are much more expensive. We have the the LetsGoAero models # H00604 and # HGK819.

The tongue weight capacity for the D210 is 750 pounds so the combined weight of the carrier, its contents, and the trailer's tongue weight cannot exceed 750 pounds. The # HGK819 carrier weighs 160 pounds and the # H00604 weighs 80 pounds. I have linked videos to the carriers and the D210 ball mount for you.
