Front Hitch Recommendation for 2009 Toyota Tacoma
Updated 03/15/2018 | Published 03/13/2018 >
Question:
I would like to haul my KLX 250 Kawasaki Dual Sport on the front of my 2009 Toyota Tacoma pickup. The bike and rack weighs around 375 lbs. Will this front hitch work for this application?

The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 65070 is a fit for your 2009 Toyota Tacoma and has a 500 lb vertical load limit. You'd have 125 lbs left for the weight of a carrier once you subtract the weight of your KLX 250 that weighs 375 lbs.
While that shouldn't be a problem you'll also have to consider that your radiator won't be getting as much air flow and your headlights and front blinkers might be obscured.
