Question:

2023 Transit 250 eco-boost extended, high roof. Since the EH79CR has a tongue weight of 1000 pounds, it would support a 542 pound motorcycle, correct? Curious to know if there is a live load weight limit involved that it would not support that weight. Not my 950 lbs Road Glide…

Hey Richard. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Hitch item # EH79CR will definitely support a 542 lbs motorcycle. It has a 1,000 lbs total capacity no matter how you use it. Unless you have the lightest motorcycle carrier ever, it's not going to work with your Harley.

The EcoHitch item # EH79CR is confirmed to fit the 2023 Ford Transit T250 Eco-Boost model.

What kind of carrier do you have and what kind of motorcycle is your 542 lbs one?

I would be glad to answer any questions that you have. I installed hitch on 2015 transit 150.

@ScottB Do you know of a heavy duty motorcycle carrier for this 2 inch receiver?

Jerred, My small bike is a 2025 Honda Rebel 1100T, manual trans. I do not have a carrier as of yet. I did see a single add for one for 550 lbs (I cannot find it again) and several for 300 & 400 lbs. I may have to build one, if I cannot find the one I found before. Would you know of one that would work for me? Thank you Richard

@RichardC You're welcome! That looks like a fun bike. The only carrier we have with that high of a capacity is the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches item # UF48-979033. It's got a 500 lbs capacity but the instructions state to only use it with dirt bikes and scooters.

@JerredH there are two videos on that UF48-979033 bike carrier. Do you know what bike was used in the “ Carrier and ramp test course” video? Are plans offered for sale to make this rack, possibly I could step up the square tubing sizes? I would get the EH69CR also the have a second point of bracing if it’d fit the EcoBoost model.
