Question:

I have a 2022 Forester Wilderness. Just bought the Rhino T-load hitch mounted rack 2 from you to carry a boat on the roof. Want to also drag a jet ski trailer behind. NEED to have the rhino rack on first, then add the jet ski trailer. The Curt D210 looks ideal, BUT not enough clearance to latch the trailer need 5 . ANY SUGGESTIONS? thank you.

Expert Reply:

In order to be able to tow your trailer while using your # RTL002 with your 2022 Subaru Forester I recommend the # 325-GH-503. The stacked receivers will let you install the T-Load first and then add the appropriate ball mount underneath with the rise you need for the trailer. This has a 5" rise with an overall height of 8".

If by not enough clearance you meant you need 5" of clearance between the ball mount and the T-Load, the # 325-GH-504 would give you additional clearance. However, this will be somewhat dependent on the ball mount you're using. This has a 7-1/2" maximum rise with an overall height of 10-5/8". Also, you want to make sure you aren't taking the T-Load too high to a point where it is too tall to support your boat.
