Question:
I found a customer picture where the togue on this Trailor seems to be retractable. Is that correct?
asked by: Chuck
Expert Reply:
Yes and no Chuck. If you install the Retractable Tongue Kit item # MPG494 on the Malone MicroSport Trailer item # MPG461KB the tongue will retract. As is though the tongue does not retract on the MicroSport Trailer item # MPG461KB.
The Retractable Tongue Kit item # MPG494 is made of galvanized 11 gauge steel. It will bolt directly to the MicroSport Trailer item # MPG461KB without cutting or drilling. All hardware necessary to complete the installation is included. Installing it will decrease your trailer's length by 61".
What kind of bikes and kayaks do you have?
