would I be able to haul an RV trlr or should I go to a class IV hitch

It depends on the weight of what you are planning to haul. But for class III I believe you should not haul more than 8000 pounds. Class IV is the same that comes in a Heavy Duty pickup from factory. So, if a regular pickup with a factory installed hitch can haul your RV, this Curt class III will do too.

Depends on the weight of the RV trailer and the tongue weight. Should not exceed 6000 pounds tow weight and 600 pound tongue weight. Otherwise get a Class IV. If it were me, I would get a Class IV to tow anything over 4000 pounds.

It is rated at 600lb tongue weight. I pull a 22 ft pontoon party barge with no problems. Just make sure its torqued correctly. If in doubt go with class IV.

I bought it and hauled a Honda CRF 230 and a CRF 80. It will work but it is difficult to tie the bikes down and it doesn't seem all that stable. Also you face a little extra chance of someone rear ending you since it obstructs the tail lights of your vehicle when loaded. I ended up selling it and getting a trailer.

The hitch will work for sure. It is dependent on the rails installed on the pickup. This does not come with rails. I installed mine on existing rails that fit a lighter Reese hitch and they were a perfect fit on the 22 inch spacing of the rails. This is a heavy duty hitch.

As stated by specs fits 1" 1/4 receiver, and given my towing rating is 2000 lbs in my hitch, I would say yes. Very heavy duty and has carried snow blowers and mowers for me at times. Good product.

I would contact the company to be certain, but we load really beefy kids bikes on there with no problem. Just make sure your hitch is rated for the very heavy Swagman PLUS your very heavy bikes. ;)

I would recommend a trailer if you don't have a PU truck. It would be difficult to get it up on a roof rack without dinging you car.

WE flat towed a 1988 GMC full-sized truck 625 miles to and from Florida and I feel sure that's heavier than your car. Can't comment on the installation because it wouldn't work on my Subaru Outback without expensive modifications to my car but the tow bar worked great. Very easy for one person to hook-up to the tow vehicle then to the RV.

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 have a 33 foot fifth wheel and had a class 3 hitch welded to the frame in the back of my 5th wheel Rv and then put this bike rack on that hitch and put 2 (a men's and women's) 12 speed bikes on this bike rack and went from Rochester, New York all the way down to Pigeon Forge, TN. (Spent one week on vacation down there) and came back to Rochester, NY. And the rack proved to work great with no, and I repeat no problems. Have a nice day.

That's what I did; works great....haven't had ANY problems with this hitch!! Just honor the 500 lb tongue limit and you're good.

I purchased the UT3000 and it has a very sturdy pre drilled base plate that made it very easy to mount to my four wheeler for me to use as needed durring the riding season and also for lifting and lowering my snow plow blade on my four wheeler. It is a very durrable small system. It has pulled us out of some situations with my four wheeler with no problem and if you are looking to use it as a car hauling pull up winch, I think you would be o.k. as long as you had rolling wheels. Dead drag might not be strong enough. Hope that helps some.

Need to have a class III, or class IV hitch receiver, and know the tongue weight, mine is 700 and haul my bikes (gsxr750, and sv650) easily including the 90 product weight

Your question would better be directed at either: 1)The professionals at Draw-Tite. (extension use already cuts vehicle's tow capacity by 50%) Can only assume you indicating flat four towing? Not your vehicle aboard a trailer behind your RV type of towing? 2)Your RV owners manual? And/Or the manufacturer of the hitch that is on your RV Lastly probably never ask the "professionals" here on Amazon.

You would be better off and safer using an extended coupler than an extended hitch. Some couplers are double the length of this hitch extension. Which will move the RV further away from your back window when making sharp turns

I am sorry, but I am not familiar with The Rustler. Traxxas is very helpful. You might contact them.
