Question:
I have a BMW that weighs 400 pounds. I wanted to put it on a carrier on the back of my 2015 Silverado 1500. I would like to buy something with a ramp. What is the best product for me?

Expert Reply:
For a 400-lb motorcycle you will want a carrier rated for more than this weight, to give you some safety margin, such as the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033, which has a 500-lb capacity and a 39-inch ramp. To lock it to your hitch use # e98880.
Your hitch receiver must also have the tongue weight (TW) capacity required for the combined weight of the 95-lb carrier plus the weight of your BMW. Ideally you would use this carrier in a hitch like the Curt # C14006 which has a 1000-lb TW rating.
