Micro Minnie 1708fb rear hitch rating

My 2021 Micro Minnie has a rear hitch. Does anyone know what the ratings are? I can see that it is frame mounted so I am assuming 3500lbs towing with a rear hitch weight of 350? I would like to put a motorcycle carrier on this hitch. Thanks

Interesting, 2021 with a rear hitch. Sorry I can't help since my '21 1808fbs doesn't have aone, but I'm ready to purshase/install one on it since I wish to carry a small generator on a hitch basket.

Hi F.O. Fernando 5,
It looks like it is 340 pounds. I put a carrier on the back of my Minnie Winnie.
Welcome to the forum.

have a 2022 2108FBS with factory installed 2in receiver. Contacted customer service and was informed 150 pounds. Also after removing the bumper mounted tire carrier saw the rating label also indicating 150 pounds. i suspect the rating for your trailer would be the same. Not much to work with especially considering a carrier approved for a RV/TT can weigh over 30 pounds.

Thank you Still Movin' for the correction. The 340 pounds that I found is the weight of the trailer's front hitch, not the capacity of the trailer's aft receiver.

I have a 2020 2108DS, and I too want to haul my bike on a hitch carrier. Winnie told me Norco Industries builds their frames and suggested I talk to them as far as reinforcing my frame. I own an "ultimate MX hauler" and a WR450 bike. Based on some of the responses it sounds like it ain't gonna work.

The "WR450 bike" is a Yamaha motorbike and weighs 265lbs plus the wieght of the Ultimate MX Hauler. Especially since that rack is cantilevered and hangs off the back end horizontally.

That's not going to work on the back of a 21' travel trailer.

You'll probably be forced to put the bike in the truck bed, if you have the extra weight allowance available.

Thanks for your post. I have hauled the bike in the bed of the truck with the trailer hitched up in the past, but the problem is I cannot completely close the tailgate, so tighter turns are frightening. I drive a diesel Chevy Colorado with the short bed...... I'm not how much work it is to pull my tailgate off, but I'm gonna find out.
