So I have a tonneau cover on my truck, and im going to be driving north about 6 hours next year and I want my cover. Well I also want my dirtbike, so I am going to be purchasing a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier.

How do you think the ranger will do carrying 250 lbs on the hitch? Has anyone done this? Cuz I am going to have a loaded truck, with a tonneau cover, with a motorcycle thats about a foot away from the hitch. Im worried about the leverage of the weight being so far from the hitch.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks

 

Seen this, this past weekend might help ya out a little

I have a hitch mounted dirtbike carrier myself and its not a problem. As long as you have a class III hitch your good. And i have a 450 so its alittle heavier

 

you should be fine it will just drive diffent give yourself extra breaking space since you wont have as much weight on the front tires

 

well i guess my dirtbike is well under my 500 lb tongue weight. I guess that means 2 bikes are out of the question.

jared, where do u ride? we should go riding sometime

 

It will be fine. I had my ranger packed full in the bed/cap and pulled trailers with more than 250 lbs of tongue weight.

 

you will be just fine I rune 4 DH mountain bikes that are 50lbs a piece off a 100lbs bike rack that sticks back 7 feet and it has not been an issue. should be about the same moment arm ad a dirt bike a few feet out.

 

Everywhere and anywhere lol. Mostly CalCity and the pyru mx track
