Just for clarification, with a motorcycle carrier, one needs to use the lower GTW (Gross Tongue Weight) Rating unless of course they are using a WD Hitch. My 32" extension would be GTW rating of 650 lbs. or about 55% of the WD Hitch GTW rating of 1200 lbs.

Yes, that is why it is called Weight Distributing. Transfers some weight to front wheels of TV and trailer wheels.
