I was hoping to maybe resurrect this thread for some thoughts. So the bike I think I am going with is 405lbs (with no gas) and the hitch weighs 60lbs, which puts me a few pounds below the tongue weight of 500lbs. I really don't want the hassle of dealing with a trailer if I don't have to for obvious reasons like backing up, etc. What should I be concerned about? I plan on buying a really good carrier that is well made with great ratings online.
Even thinking about one of these: http://www.hitch-helper.com/
Was looking at the hitch helper would there be strain on the hitch at the truck doing the towing when going around corners and such, there is another company out there that makes something similar and they have 2 connect points on the hitch, also going thru driveways with big dips could put a lot of stain on the hitch, just my thoughts.
