Motorcycle hitch hauler


Recommended Posts

I have a 2014 LWB and would like to install a hitch and motorcycle hitch hauler. The bike weighs approx. 450lbs. And hitch hauler is 125lbs. Manufacturer says I need a class 3 hitch. Anybody ever done this? Wondering about rear suspension mods that might be needed? Any info.appreciated-please chime in with thoughts.

The Max trailer for the US version is 2000 Lbs with a hitch load of 200 Lbs. Even with the trailer load rating taken from the European Tourneo Connect which is 2640 with a hitch load rating of 260 Lbs The load you are talking about would be almost 600 Lbs over hung load. Even with Stiffer Springs or helper's the handling would change quite a bit. I would think long and hard about doing this.
