Extended Hitch Connection Upgrade / Add On Part

I have a Land Rover Defender with the rear tire mounted and rather than using a hitch extender, it was great to see that MotoTote has the extended long hitch arm to mount for the carrier. I ordered it and had it within 3 days and now have a better setup that is more secure. There is nothing on the market that I have seen better than the MotoTote setup to carry my Dirt Bike.

With this extension and my motorcycle loaded on the carrier I can drop the tailgate all the way. I now have full access to the back of my truck.

Added just enough clearance to clear my spare tire on my high clearance rear bumper with integrated hitch. Very satisfied.

Tyler has exceptional customer service skills, knows the products and skilled to make the proper suggestion. A great benefit to MotoTote.

The Sport Motorcycle Hitch Carrier works great!
The MTX20 Extension does not fit my receiver. MotoTote provided a second extension, no charge. Thanks. But guess what? it's exactly the same as the original. Which does not fit. I'll have to grind one of these down to make it work.

I have G wagon spare tire that now i dont have to remove when I am taking my bike.

The added extension gives just the perfect amount of room to get away from the spare tire. I actually use 2 moto tote mini's at the same time so I can transport 2 moped style ebikes (The Ariel Rider Grizzly and The Juiced Hyperscorpion) on my Class C RV. It works perfectly!!!

I wanted to be able to use this without a real need for the extension. This is normally intended to give your vehicle more clearance from spare tires, bed campers, etc, and it would work great for that. What I used it for was slightly different though. I shoved the tray through the extension until there were three holes visible on the non vehicle side of the tray. On the vehicle side of the tray there are five or six holes still visible until it reaches the hitch. I then ran some 1/2 x 4" eye bolts with washers/nuts into a hole on each side of the extension. I now have the ability to clip my dirt bike's pegs to the carrier like most other carriers allow. This helps with loading and keeps the bike pinned down. Currently I'm running chain to carabiners that are rated for 1500 and 350 lbs respectively. I'll be swapping the chain out for turnbuckles soon.

If you're swapping out an old receiver for this one, be prepared to muscle/hammer/slam the heck out of it. The old receiver was really tightly in there, and the square 2" hole had been clamped millimeters too small for the new extended receiver. It took about 30 minutes of sledge hammering, prying, and slamming against my concrete garage floor to get the new receiver into the hole. If you're ordering a new MotoTote, order this with it and use it immediately.

It doesn't seem like it would add a lot of weight over the standard hitch, but it does add a few pounds, and it definitely makes it a bit more cumbersome. Either way, I don't care. This thing definitely does what I wanted it to do!

Would have given 5 stars but extender was missing one hole for placement of the ramp clip. Was able to modify easily and otherwise works fine

I have been using a Mototote Mtx carrier for a few years to carry a motor scooter on the back of my rv. I am about to trade in my rv and the new one has a rather recessed receiver. I didn't want to have to use an extension receiver which would have introduced another joint into the hitch setup. I was pleased to find that Mototote has the solution to this issue in the form of a Long Receiver Tube which provides up to 11" of additional clearance. A+ for MotoTote.
