Expert Reply:

If you add a dual receiver adapter like the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 to your Toyota Tacoma, it will not only add the tongue weight, but will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 which will allow you to use your current rack, and will add that trailer tongue weight, but will not reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity at all. This is a better option for transporting a large trailer and bikes.

If you want to have the bike rack on the rear of your Tacoma, you can use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210 as long as the weight of your trailer doesn't exceed its capacity. This allows you to use a bike rack with your trailer connected, but you have to connect your trailer then add the bike rack due to its limited distances.

If you use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210, then to add the friction bar anti-sway you need th Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV # RP26003 to mount the anti-sway friction bar ball onto. This combination will not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch, but you will need to account for the additional tongue weight of the bike rack and bikes when installed. If you need a the sway bar ball, you can use the Curt Sway Control Hitch Ball # C40093. For a hitch ball for the ball mount you will want # 63845 for a 2 inch ball or # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball to match your trailer coupler.
