Question:

Will the top receiver hold a 35 lb alum scooter rack with a 210 lb scooter? On the lower receiver I am towing a 4 foot x 6 foot Aluma trailer when fully loaded weighs aprox. 650 lbs with a tongue weight of 30 lbs max. Thank you!

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can carry your 245 lb scooter and rack combo while towing a small trailer with the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210.

This ball mount has far more tongue weight capacity than the less-than 300 lbs you'll be putting on it so it'll be perfect for what you are wanting to do.

For a hitch ball you can use either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260 or 2" Hitch Ball # 63845.

To secure the ball mount to your hitch you can use Pin and Clip # PC3 or you can lock it to your hitch with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880.
