Reinforce hitch on my ranger

[Curious Hound]

Did I mis type the URL and wind up on the Tacoma forum? FFS y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Dude isn't gonna break the hitch or bend a frame with a dirt bike on hitch cargo carrier.

This is stock springs, bump stops have been replaced with '99ish Town and Country (they bolt right on but need a 3/8 spacer to clear the frame lip, I made one out of aluminum) because they're more cushy. I don't advise doing this but I didn't break anything doing it either. OP's dirt bike will be fine.

Good point. He stated un the original post that the bike only weighs 250lbs (114kg). Class III receiver can handle that fine.

As someone who bent the frame on a truck with a class 3 hitch, I’m always going to advise reinforcement or a Class IV hitch for regular use or heavy use.
