I have the 4th generation 2001 Mercury Sable.
I need to configure the car to be able to carry both a scooter and a heavy electric bike. I haven't done anything so far, so all options are open. I'm also not concerned about marring the appearance of the car. The possibilities:
While I was examining under the car, I noticed this triangular bracket fixed in front of the bumper. What is it for?
I need to configure the car to be able to carry both a scooter and a heavy electric bike. I haven't done anything so far, so all options are open. I'm also not concerned about marring the appearance of the car. The possibilities:
- Ramps going all the way from the ground to the roof, which I will reinforce somehow. Or some other roof carrying system.
- Usual receiver installed under the car to mount a ball in the rear. Then tow small pull trailer
- Roof mounted ball to accept long tongue of light 5th wheel trailer. Since I don't have the trailer yet, this is a possibility. It pegs the geek meter, but with properly strengthened roof, it would work. The arrangement has the advantage of superior maneuverability, and the tongue weight is positioned over the center of mass of the car.
- Simple attachment atached to a receiver to hold a tray to hold the scooter & bike behind the car
