Can I hook a car trailer up to this along with a 8,500lb winch mounted on a 2" receiver winch mount? Im sure I can but will it be safe?

The main question is the separation between the winch and the trailer insert. Also the ground clearence from the lowest item mounted. For example I need twenty inches ball height from the ground to the ball for my tow dolly since above that I have a carry all rack mounted and need sufficient space sufficient space to connect connect the dolly tongue to the hitch. The carry all only would put at best 200 lbs weight on the hitch which allows enough hitch capacity for a trailer or dolly in a lower slot. So measure carefully as you have the starting point (ball height from ground ) of your mounted receiver to considder. The geny 304 is well made and should easily handle the hitch load.

All I can comment on is how stout this is. It's solid. It's also cast. How it was annealed will determine how strong/durable it's grain boundaries are. If it was made in USA..good. If it was made in China..bad

I'm not sure as I don't tow with my hitch. I only use it to mount a bike rack.

This carrier has a 2 inch receiver. You should be able to use the cotter pin that comes with the hitch. Or, you might contact Uhaul. Cheers!

Seldom ever would be solid on 2" receivers... more often solid is the case if it is a 1" receiver. Quality item will easily handle the hitch manufacturers weight restrictions just fine. Really enjoy ours. These are typically used to extend past a vehicles rear mounted spare tire.

It's possible, but you won't be doing that too many times. You will need at least two people to load it on a roof rack. I have a small trailer that works just fine....and no heavy lifting.

You might need an extension piece for your hitch. It clamps onto a 2" bar. It didn't work for us because I use a sway hitch for our camper.

No...you would not be able to. The gauge is not think enough for something like that. It only holds up to 300lbs...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have mounted mine Inside of my enclosed Car trailer. Its really not meant to be exposed to the elements all of the time. If you mount it on an open trailer, I would keep it covered when not in use... This is a better quality winch, which has real good pulling power. The remote switch is nice too! Good Luck! Harry

Yes, you just need the 2 " hitch receiver, or have and adapter to go to 2". It works great for me as I use it in the course of landscaping to haul mowers.

Although this mounts to the frame, I would not recommend trying to modify it for a winch, as it would take extreme modifications and it probably would not have the necessary structural integrity . Besides there is really no room for a winch tray to mount it to. You might try the Westin HDX winch mount, or the Westin Sportsman winch mount systems. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.com Thanks.

The winch mounts to the receiver plate, the receiver plate mount inserts into any standard 2" receiver hitch regardless of make or model. I use mine on my car hauler trailer so I can easily remove the winch for storage.

Only if you purchased some type of double receiver attachment . It would work wonderful as is if you don't already tow a vehicle.

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.

Can it? Yes. If you have the tow package. Remember you're towing something that if you are like me you own the 2 door and that weight is nearly the same as the vehicle.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. My guess is that you want to mount the winch to this so you can easily remove it from the truck. I think you need to contact the manufacturer for their load ratings to be safe. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Usually most hitches are either 2 inch or 1.25 inch. I used this extender on my camper van which has a 2 inch receiver.Just measure how big your receiver on the trailer hitch is on your vehicle. If it is 2 inch then it should work fine.

The item doesn't directly support the weight. The adjustable friction allows it to adjust very high to stop sway. Could be used for very lage trailers. Mine is 8000 lbs and it works good.
