You guys are focusing too narrowly on only towing with the SuperTruss Magnum. What about carrying:
1. Larger motorcycle on a carrier
2. Spare tire while towing
3. Auxiliary battery bank while towing (4x ExtendedPower)
4. Additional secured or open storage
This would be a product optimized for DRW vehicle use and require the SuperHitch Magnum to even fit the dual receivers.
Depending on demand, you can even cater to SRW's by using the SuperTruss as a platform for mounting a self-tracking tag axle.
Okay, I see what you're getting at now. Thise things don't really seem like they would weigh that much though. Let's just take a motorcycle. Say a BMW, and let's say it weighs 450lbs wet (I'm a Harley guy, but a Harley is around 8' long and although that may be okay sideways, I'm not sure I'd want my Road Glide on a hitch carrier). Theoretically, you're okay with that on the extension, no?
The extended power is mounted onto the truss, so being closer to the back of the truck than the end of the hitch, you're for sure using less leverage on that thing. Maybe I'm still not understanding it. I would still like to see the engineering behind it though. Probably be an interesting setup.
As far as my license, I've had it for five years now and when I took the test all that was available quickly was a B truck. So they downgraded my A permit and I have what I have. As far as work, it's very straightforward and if I stay doing what I'm doing I don't have a need for an A. The only reason I'm beginning to regret not waiting the truck situation out now and getting the A is to tow a fifth wheel maybe and then behind that. So it's not even a serious concern. Truck campers seem to be a better option for me anyway right now. I could get an A now, yes. But all the DMV process and having to take 10 tests again isn't worth it right now. Easy to say I can do it. But all the other stuff going on, added to time willing...
