Hi Guys! I have been looking into the Mototote trailer hitch carriers and want to know if anyone has experience with these? I will be hauling an F4i on a Trailblazer. Need feedback please.

Are you talking about one of those deals that attaches at the hitch and is not a trailer ? I've seen those, even considered one. I've decided against it though because the weight of the bike along with the hauler is right at the maximum tongue weight for most class 3 hitches.

not sure about your car's tongue weight...

but as for my transport, it was an F4, F4i in bed and RR on the mototoe...no issues with hit, but then again, we had an F150. check with the OM as cozye said regarding tongue weight.

mine works great, but make sure your truck/hitch can support 500 lbs tongue weight... I got one of the "joe-haulers" from motorcycle accessory warehouse www.mawonline.com

I bought a hitch type from gc-carriers.com

It works pretty good, it's very heavy though, but works as advertised. Definately check the tongue weight on your ride to make sure it can handle it. It wobbled around at the beginning but once you get up to HWY speed it settle down, it's just nerve racking watching 10 G's wag in the wind.
