I occasionally want to pull my trailer and take my dirtbike at the same time. I pull with an 08 Toyota Sequoia Does anybody have any solutions?

Could you put a receiver hitch on the front bumper, and use a hitch hauler? Not sure what would happen to visibility with a Sequoia, but my parents had one on our class A motorhome back in the day.

Sell the Sequoia and get a tundra and put the bike in the bed?

There was a Supra here in Colorado that a local dealer had for sale that had a custom piece put on the back of the trailer for hauling a bike and it was removable after you took the bike off. It was really slick.

Versahaul Makes a carrier that goes in your 2" receiver. I have one and it's pretty well built, I found mine on craigslist for $125. It has another 2" receiver on the back side but I'm not sure the weight rating.

The versahaul does not have the capacity. The front hitch may be the best solution with something like the versa. Then I could haul any trailer or just the bike without the bike trailer.

Maybe look for an extension like they use on pickups with slide in campers and then you could weld a rack on it like the versahaul thing does.

I've owned two of them and they are awesome.

The Ultimate is nice because it's easier to load than the rail type setups, and holds the bike solidly by the frame & pegs instead of thru the suspension. It's also useful as a field workstand. The optional gas can mount is also nice for SUV's.

I would get a hitch hauler first, and take it and your bike to a welding shop to have them figure out a good height to place the receiver. You would want it as low as possible I would think for visibility.
