How does the hitch work? Is it easy to remove the trailer? Can I find an adapter for this trailer if I already have a burley hitch?

It is a hassle to remove it - I wish it was just a 1 click deal or something similar. But is great with the dog at the beach - very steady!! Would buy again.

No, i just own a hitch. BTW my assembly instruction badly photocopied manual was barely readable and unhelpful. The Hitch once assembled rocks, though heavy.

Put it on a chevy equinox suv. Lower than a pick up truck and bottom will scrap the ground going up an incline. My carrier is sits level on the hitch.I would like to get a hitch riser to raiser it up a few inches.

You can't without adding tie-lines from the rack to your vehicle. You could do what I did. Return that model and purchase one that fits to a trailer receive hitch.

Leslie:The hitch fit like it was factory installed. Not difficult to install at all. I would recommend buying a reamer to clean the threads. It was about $ 17.00, but made the installation much easier. Good luck

I have a class 2 hitch. I'm sure you could get an adaptor to make it work. I had a friend that did just that. It's a great hitch.

The square fitting on the bottom of the rack that goes into the trailer hitch has a couple of holes drilled in it. You have to line those holes up with the ones in the square receiver on the trailer hitch. You should be able to feel the holes when they're lined up, and you don't have to slide the fitting all the way in. Than you push the pin in. It's pretty stiff, but if the holes ore lined up you should be able to do it with your hand -- no hammer required.

Every set up will be different, no doubt about it. That said, we pulled a 4000 Lb. Trailer 3000 miles with a 3/4 ton suburban and after returning to Mich. I added a second friction hitch which did improve the handling. At the cost involved, two is better than one in my opinion. Hope this helps you!

I think it depends on your hitch. We had an SUV hauling a large popup when we bought it. We did not do a trial run with it but the clearance seemed good. We bought a truck and needed a different hitch. It did not clear at all. We had to put the bikes upside down and take the seat off one of them for it to clear!

Somebody makes receiver hitch extensions for use with big truck bed campers. I've seen those carry heavy trailers. If you built the cycle carrier substituting that piece for the piece that comes with the kit it might work. Pop ups don't have much tongue weight. This is idle speculation. I haven't tested it, but that's how I'd do it

To get the answer to your question go to the PullRite web page, they have complete compatability listings there. It's a great hitch for a short bed pickup.

It does come with a 2" adapter but since I have a 2" hitch receiver I never tried to remove it. The other concern is weight. It is a heavy rack and if you add 4 bikes it may be too much for your hitch. You may need to confirm your hitch's maximum vertical load.

The instructions say not to, but we nave a continuous weld bumper and we bought a receiver adapter by swagman to attach the rack. We have not used it on the trailer yet but I don't see a problem. We bought the rack specifically for the trailer.

The trailer comes with a hitch that attaches to the axel of rear tire, once you attach the hitch it's easy to to take on and off - you just line up the wholes and put the pin in.

This hitch is part of a vehicles towing package and is not part of the carrier. If you are putting it on an RV or something with an older style metal bumper there is a receiver you can install to be used instead of the hitch.

Probably as it is large with the adapter, but, the whole assembly is VERY heavy, probably not something a normal sized person should attempt by themselves nor should it be put on a smaller vehicle. It can be adapted to 1-1/4" or 2" hitches with optional pieces. Overall VERY heavy and cumbersome.
