Hello everyone, I am looking to buy an R-pod but wondering if it is possible to put a tow hitch for my dirt bike?

Short answer is no. The trailer frame is not strong enough.

+ 1 trailer frame is definitely not strong enough for that amount of weight

I've wondered if you could hook up a trailer for hauling motorcycles or golf carts. Some states have laws against trailers having trailers, so even if the frame could take it, it might not be feasible.

I think you can't use the cross frame rail at rear of Pod the one the spare tire attaches to. However if you went from the frames rails toward the rear and made a hitch that mounted into those rails, that is not a weak frame. You could conceivably build a front wheel mount into it and tow a dirt bike. Would I do it? No. Bum is spot on - need to check local or state laws. But there is possibilities if you use the open main frame rails.
