Will I be able to add a hitch at the end and attach a standard pop-trailer as well?

Not with the tubing that comes stock on this carrier. Not near strong enough. A good welding shop should be able to make the needed modifications to allow you to add a trailer hitch. This carrier is good and I have really enjoyed using it.

Absolutely not recommended. The leverage would make the connection unsafe even dangerous, depending on the load. Some states have legal restrictions; consult your states regulations.

I'm not an engineer, but I think it would take some major modifying and reinforcement.

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

No, you will not be able to tow as well as haul your sport bike. They have models that do, but they are much more expensive. I think around $1,500.Keep in mind that a class 3 hitches max tongue weight is usually 500 or 600 pounds. The hitch weighs 90 pounds, and my Katana 750 weighs close to 500 pounds. That's pretty much the maximum.The ones that can haul and tow are made for diesel pushers which have a class 4 or 5 hitch which have higher tongue weight maximums, allowing for the bikes weight and the tongue weight of your trailer. Those ones can cost up to $3,500, plus the cost of upgrading your hitch if necessary.Hope this helps,Felix

Yes. But Keep in mind the torque you'll be putting on the entire structure by loading it 3 or 4 feet out.

I would suggest you ask a trusted mechanic or dealer that sells trailer hitches. You would need to buy a trailer hitch & get it installed to hold the platform. I'm not sure all cars can have a hitch installed due to unibody construction, that's why I suggest talking to a mechanic or dealer. Gary

You could theoretically link the two end chains to a central mount point but I did not personally do this. The chains should be long enough but if not you can always buy extra chain at a local hardware store.

I used a cargo basket attachment and the weight did bend the hitch I would not recommend adding that much weight with this adapter. Hope this helps!

I am not sure i know what you are asking needs to be assembled but will fit any regular hitch receiver if you are not set up with a receiver then one must be installed

It will fit in the standard receiver hitch but it won't butt up to the edge of the back of the van. It comes up only to the end of an opened tail gate

Yeah, you'll just need to take the inner sliding part out and flip it over. You'll also need a ball mount for the hitch that goes on the other side.
1060443
I would say no. The design is pretty much setup for the Harley bagger mounts. You could probably fab new mounts on it, but if you have the stuff for that, you may as well make your own hitch

You will need an end bracket. Also if you contact Seller they are very helpful and can tell you exactly what you need.
420982
yes! no problem it is a very well made hitch very capable. i am very pleased with mine
1603723
Yeah you won't have to mess with the receiver but you will need to get a hitch extension because the bumper sticks out about a 1" further than the receiver, also if you plan on adding the swing arm spare tire carrier you will need to get at least a 8" extension....

I am sure that you can, but there are a lot of screws in the top part. My advice is to rent an UHaul trailer or borrow a trailer and carry it fully assembled.

As long as the height and width of the hitch work for the trailer. Keep in mind it shifts sideways to all the trailer to be towed so make sure you have enough of a neck on the trailer.

J B Pennington is correct, if you can fit standard hitch mounting rails it will be no problem.unless you are quite handy and have the correct tools you will probably need to have the rails professionally installed.

U need a ball hitch. The extension handle has a hole big enough to fit over ball. It comes with a caution to tow slowly
1114301
the hitch would be strong enough you would have to check the vertical clearance between the tow bar and rack.

Nope, you would have to take it out and pop in a hitch. I have seen some recently that have a step with hitch, combo at Uhaul.
