Hi! I'm thinking of buying an 01 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 4x4. I want to get a front hitch for a winch and 1 other use. This is the hitch:

My question: Could I buy a motorcycle carrier and safely carry an adventure bike up there? Is this idea insane? The bike + carrier would be a bit under 500lb.

Welcome to the forum from Iowa.

500# is similar to the weight of a snow plow. You will likely need to beef up your front suspension if you’re going to carry that much weight out in front.
