Small motorcycle on the front hitch

I share dirtpigs concern: the camper has pretty much maxed out the F150's payload capacity.

Can the truck handle the motorcycle and it's rack too?

I've run an Xr400 Honda ~280lbs on a front hitch rack for many years. No problems at all on my f350 not sure how a f150 frame and front axle would handle the weight though. Nice thing about front mounting is i still could tow a boat and it was out of the way if I didn't tow.

I use a versahaul for my XT225 which weighs 260# or so. But I use it on the back. I don't think a front mount hitch would be able to handle the weight. You have to keep in mind that the 'tounge weight' rating on any hitch assumes the load is within a certain distance of the end of the hitch box where the coupler goes in. The versahaul effectively multiplies the tounge weight due to the distance it has to extend to accommodate the handle bars of a motorcycle. Long story short, why not use the rear hitch which is more likely to handle the weight safely? I have a 2000 F250 with a class 5 hitch and it still bounces and sways when driving over highway undulations and bumps.

I have an aluminum carrier from Noethern Tools. It has a capacity of 400# and I carried a Kymco 150 scooter on a front hitch. It worked well. Being that I sold the scooter, I no longer need the carrier. Hint hint.
