I install a 500 pound rated front receiver, 2-inch, 2 use with my F150 SuperCrew 3.5 L EcoBoost. The rack weighs about 50 lb and the bike is a light 350. I'm towing a 20-foot Flying Cloud and that's a 5000 pound axle. I have a Topper on the bed of the five and a half foot bed generator gears stuff like that and this seat behind me is bicycle other odds and ends not a lot of stuff. The scales showed I was over about 60 pounds in the front and maybe 200 lb in the rear. Truck handled normally. I could easily see over the bike which is a Suzuki 650 but headlights are blocked and I did move my license plate to the front windshield when I'm moving just in case a cop gives me a hard time. I'm not entirely comfortable with this as I haven't tested this through the mountains but we shall see. I made sure I could get extra straps on the bike in case I had to stand on the brakes in an emergency and the bike wouldn't fly off. I travel with the bike gas tank nearly empty
