Can this be mounted on a standard pickup? Can this handle a 600 lb touring bike if attached to a pickup?

It depends on the pickup. On a 3500 1 ton it might work. What is the tongue weight it is rated at? The SC2000 adds 2 more receivers to your existing one...so you have 3 receivers. With that beefed up receiver set up...it should work. It would be like having 3 200 pound guys standing on 3 hitches coming out of the back of your truck. Get a great welder to add the other 2 hitches that come with the tray...and check to see what your existing tongue weight is rated at.

ABSOLUTELY NO. It plainly states it is not to be used for towing anything and it has a weight limit of 500 lbs. for bikes ect.

Yes, A rack can be installed but you may need an extra set of hardware. Here's an Amazon link, but you really only need the rubber coated clamps with the bolts/nuts in the set that can be found at most bike shops... CARRIER HARDWARE ACTION MTB 180MM

As long as your towing receiver is 2". 4 bike fold down towing fits 2" receiver. I use my Swagman bike carrier on a Ford Ranger. It slides right into the towing receiver. Having a spare tire mounted shouldn't be an issue.

the fat tire won't be a problem. to see if it will fit on any bike, take a look at your rear fork. just above or to the side of the slot where the rear axle mounts, you need to have a tapped hole (most bikes have 2 holes, both are tapped the same). that is the primary mounting support, if you have that set up then you are good to go. no, this carrier is not flimsy, it will easily and safely support its rated load.

No. This item barely holds a 200 pound dirtbike. Do not waste your money on it. 1 star - low quality item

Yes. I carried my 1200 sportster on it with no issues until I sold my hauler last week. I added some support in the form of two heavy duty ratchet straps that I hooked into the ends of the square tubing and ran up over the tailgate and into strap hooks located in my bed. Didnt budge an inch and was rock solid.

If you leave the rack attached to your vehicle, it should be no problem. I think it's easier to load this rack than the hanging style. Just set your bike on the tire racks, pull down the top hook, and go.

NO! That is way to big of a bike. I had a KLR 650 and it was to much bike for it. You are better off buying a small trailer.

Yes. They are standard carriers mounted on a standard load bar. You can take them off the trailer and mount them on any load bar. You can move them around as you need. Any standard bike rack should work as far as I know.

No, unfortunately it won't. I had to mount it to another mount that fits on a thicker handlebar.

Hi Laura,Technically any frame size can be mounted on this rack up to a combined total weight of 70 lbs.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I don't think the top receiver can handle the weight. It works fine to pull a trailer and a bike rack on top.

The cab assembly is top heavy and provides quite a bit of counterbalance on my gas Troy Built. I imagine you would be holding it up on a lighter machine. As far as mounting goes - no problem, the mounts adjust for handle width.

The top receiver is not intended for towing, but it should work for a dirt bike. You might have to cut the length of the top receiver to get it into your receiver. I had to cut mine down which I use on a motor home.

That should be fine. I use it with a 1973 Suzuki TC100 (205 lbs) and that works pretty well. I don't think I would put anything heavier than 300 lbs on it though. I found putting bungies on both sides from the truck's bed, around the outside of the bike, to the bottom of the bike rack kept it from rocking back and forth. It does what it's supposed to do if you don't overload it.

Since the front tire is not removed for this type of carrier, if your bike is longer than the truck bed then I don't think it would work
