On my 2015 171 I noticed that the spare tire is attached to a 1 1/4 hitch receiver. I know that relocation of the spare tire has been discussed on here, but I was curious as to the weight restrictions of that mount if a cargo carrier was used instead. I have to pick up my trailer from the dealer this week and was going to ask them, but thought I would throw out the question on here first.
P.S., Sorry if this has been discussed already. I tried searching the forum and couldnt find any specific info regarding this. |

Yup. Basically the tire or two bikes. The receiver needs to be reinforced to carry more, but you will get dinged on any warranty issues on the frame. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
