Stealth Trailer Hitch Install
#32
Sorry to resurrect again, but I'm looking to pull a racing bike(Motorcycle) trailer. It would be about 500 pounds max. Do you think this type of install would work?
How you attach the pin to hold the rack into the hitch?
Thanks!

Considering he said it would work for smaller trailers, like for sets of wheels/tires, tools, and the trailer it's self, I'd say it'd be close. Perhaps worth asking into at a shop.
However, this is the style I know I'll be going with, since I want to tow a trailer of wheels/tires next season.

PURE WIN. +1 for carrying wheels for AUTOx or the Track. I mean, 4 wheels and tires fit in the inside of the car.... but still. It'd look more proper to have a small rack like the above^, preferably in aluminum. Are those bike racks aluminum?

Would probably be too much tounge weight if you had 4 wheels/tires on a rack. On a trailer the trailer axle holds the majority of the weight, the hitch just pulls it, rather than lifts it.

120ish pound trailer, with 4 wheels/tires(My personal ~16lb wheels, plus ~25lb tires) perhaps a jack as well. It should weigh in around 300-350 lbs loaded.
I'll be putting a hitch to the 8 sometime in the next 2-3 months, I'll update with how that goes. It'll be the same hidden style as this though, with the receiver hidden, and a removable hitch. All in all, just for autocross days and such, because I don't want to drive the track tires there. Especially since sometimes it's a good distance away.
