Technology & Features

HitchLift Receiver Tube

Innovative 2" receiver tube counteracts common vehicle hitch droop with a slight upward bend, ensuring that the rack is angled correctly from the back of the vehicle. Provides additional ground clearance, attachment of ramp and distance from vehicle adjustability.

MTX Platform

Heavy-duty steel main support connects to 2" receivers, hauls up to 600 lbs. (272 kgs.), supports chock, track, orientation, and distance from vehicle adjustability, alongside the attachment of innovative components.

StableStop Chock

Adjustable two-piece tire mount locks front tires up to 4.75" (120 mm) wide into chock, maximizes support, and helps balance the bike upright while securing tie-downs.

MaxHold Track

Laser cut track with advanced geometry reduces carrier weight, grips/wedges rear tires up to 6" (152 mm) wide into the track, and accommodates most wheelbases up to a 65" (165 cm).

BroadPull+ Arms (Front & Back)

Two wide tie-down arms maximize tie down leverage on the front and rear of the motorcycle. Patented shape increases carrier clearance on hills and off-road.

QuickLoad Ramp

A long laser-cut ramp increases tire's traction, eases the loading angle and unhooks from the same side the ramp connects for a quicker loading process.

ZeroWobble+ Hitch Mount

Upgraded single-bolt hitch mount installs quickly, requires fewer tools and eliminates rack movement in transport.

"More stability, ease of use, better tie-down angles, and a safer hitch rack than any others out there... the best."
— Shawn (MotoTote Customer)

Very good so far

Have used it once so far with my Tuareg 660 for a 300+ mile trip. Made sure to check strap tension after some bouncy sections. Worked very well & was not too nerve wracking. I would suggest having a spotter for loading/unloading until you get confident with it.

Threw away a brand new sketchy Chinese made Black Widow Pro carrier.

Learned a $245 lesson. The difference in weight, welding and structural integrity is worth any amount of money though. The MotoTote carrier is so much better than the Black Widow junk I tossed out.

confidence

I was super nervous using this the first time taking my Tuareg on a 950 mile trip from CO to CA. Every 100 miles that ticked by I became more and more confident and at ease. Happy to say the round trip was a total success - no issues and everything held strong.

MotoTote review

After researching all of the receiver hitch motorcycle carriers available I chose the MotoTote due to its design and ease of usability. It does exactly what it’s intended for. I highly recommend the MotoTote!

Wish I had this thing from the get-go

Awesome design, reasonable price, quality build, easy assembly. Loading is simple and safe. I suffered through using the (you know the brand) hitch carrier for months where you have to fight the bike over each wrung then awkwardly strap it down to the centered rings. Never again. Spend a little extra and get the MotoTote. You won't need to thank me because you'll never know how much pain and suffering you avoided by not using the cheaper "other" carrier.

Outstanding Product/Support

The team was professional, attentive, and truly helpful when recommending the appropriate product for your needs.

Great rack

Great with extended hitch tube.

I was in a unique situation with no longer having a hitch in the stock location. I have a high clearance rear bumper with the hitch integrated behind the license plate which raised my hitch substantially. My previous carrier only worked if I removed my spare tire swing out - which I wanted to avoid. I ended up going with mototote and was back and forth with their email team trying to figure out if this set up with their extended hitch tube would allow me to do the following: Fit the bike with the spare tire swing out, allow me to open the swing out and still allow me to lower my tailgate without striking the wheel chock or any part of the hauler. It was a tough pill to swallow to order the max without knowing if it was going to work and to my surprise, everything worked as planned - with one minor adjustment. In the last pics, I had to trim the inside tray to allow my swing out to swing over top of the unit. Super pleased with the build quality and the fact that this hauler is really the only product that would work with my setup. Happy customer. This review is to mostly just show the pictures with motototes extended hitch tube accessory.
