I notice that Excel is careful to state that it can PULL 4,000 pounds with the factory-option hitch..link. No mention of hitch weight carrying capacity, though. Not sure if one could put tongue weight there for a 4,000 pound TT, for example.
They do also offer a presumably higher-weight carrying capacity "Hydralift" receiver that's capable of carrying a touring bike. That class of bike generally weighs five or six hundred pounds...dunno if that hitch can be used for towing, too.
My application would have almost NO tongue weight. I'd be towing a Jeep Wrangler with all four wheels on the ground - and only on the interstates and major highways. Once in town, we'd unhook. (Again, let's not get into the legality... I'll take my chances... and if I get busted, I'll get my wife to drive the Jeep out of that LEOs jurisdiction and then hook back up again).
