I just removed the spare tire hitch from our 173. I replaced it with a Thule Double Down hitch bike rack. Fits like a champ. Figured it's easier to put the spare in the pod than two bikes. The bikes and Thule probably weigh less than the spare did, so I don't think I should have a problem.

Correction, the rack is a Yakima, not a Thule.

Just bought "stack doubler" for holding bikes as well as tow hitch to pull pod...I am concerned now about hitch weight etc..with extended hitch tongue creating more torque than short hitch..has anyone use the stack doubler and pulled pod..tow vehicel is 3/4 chevy heavy duty van with v8 and tow capacity of 6,000lbs and hitch on back of van to match. I tried the bike rack on back of the pod in 1 1/2in receiver..did not like the bounce and sway on bikes and pod so thought I would try the stack doubler..Maybe I will just put the bikes inside the van and not have to worry about them...

We are towing our 177 with our 2008 lexus 400 H too. have you had any problems. I am nervous because thew capacity is 3500 lbs. We are likely at 3000 lbs with equipment .
