Video Transcript for Malone Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver Review

Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Malone Dual Hitch.Now this is designed to fit into a standard 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube opening. It then comes back from there and it's going to give us a dual receiver tube opening. The lower one is rated for accessories and towing, the upper one's going to be rated just for accessories. As you can see, we've got our Malone Micro Sport there on the bottom. We're also able to take our bike rack right along with us, we don't have to decide one or the other.Now also as kind of a side effect of getting the dual receiver tube, we also get a hitch extender here.

This is going to be 12 3/8ths of an inch from our original pinhole to our new pinhole location. That helps with clearing items like this, like the spare tire on the back of our Jeep or maybe an overhanging bumper. Now it offers really nice solid construction, which we'll show you a little bit more later but the weight ratings are important to take into effect.The ton weight rating on the dual receiver's going to be 400 pounds, that's the downward force we can put on it and it gives us a 4,000 pound gross trailer weight rating, but it's important to note that it also reduces your hitch capacity by 50 percent. You want to use whatever sets of numbers are lower. Now overall this dual receiver is really well constructed.

Just looking at all the welds that they have here, they're really nicely done and of course all of that's going to be wrapped up with that heavy duty black powder coat finish, so it should really look good for a very long time.Now a couple measurements that are going to be helpful in ensuring this is going to work for your application. We're going to start with the pinholes. From the center of our original pinhole to the center of the pinhole on the lower receiver it's 12 3/8ths of an inch. Now that matches what the rearward hole on the top receiver and then this hole's going to be 2 inches back from that, so this is at 10 3/8ths. Now another measurement I think is going to be key is the distance from the pinhole to the back of our upper receiver here.You can see with the spare tire if this we're larger we might run into interference, so just to ensure that you've got 9 inches from the center of your pinhole to the outer edge of anything that might interfere and then this will work in there for you.

It's going to be a 9 inch total from that pinhole to the back here. Then this offers a rise from the center of our lower pinhole, which should match that of your hitch, it's going to be 7 1/2 inches to the upper pinholes. Now all of our pinholes are going to be 5/8ths of an inch in diameter so you want to choose a pin and clip that's going to work with that.It's generally a Class 3 and each of the receiver tubes are going to be 2 inches by 2 inches. That's going to work with many of the Class 3 accessories out there for the upper and Class 3 ball mounts for the lower. Each of the receiver tubes are going to have the set screw we can tighten down and it really helps to eliminate the need for anti-rattle devices.Now when we install the dual receiver we want to ensure that the extra receiver is upward.

The lower receiver is rated for towing, the upper is just rated for accessories, so just keep that in mind. We're going to slide it in like any Class 3 accessory. We can take the provided pin, we're going to get that to slide through and then we'll use the provided clip to secure that. Once we have that pinned in place we get our anti-rattle device ready to go here. We'll first take our U bolt, that's going to slide up and around the shank of our dual receiver.Then we're going to bring our plate down. Now we're going to add a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut to each side of the U bolt. These are all provided. Now we want that U bolt to be sitting about 1/2 of an inch behind the end of our receiver tube. We'll bring that up just a little bit, right about there looks to be about 1/2 an inch in this gap right here. Get those snugged down and we're going to use a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. We want to get those tightened down. Now you can see, once we have that installed any of that movement or play is going to be eliminated.This can be installed in either direction so we can either have it with our U bolt legs facing up or down, we just have to move the plate to the bottom side if we rotate it the other way. To ensure it's generating the proper pressure, you can see the flat portion here it's going to be towards our factory hitch and the part with the angle is going to be towards our dual receiver. Now at this point we'll just place our ball mount in. This is going to install just like any other ball mount we're used to, line up the pinholes, secure it with a pin and clip.Now the pin and clip to hold the dual receiver to the hitch is included but for your ball mount or accessory you'll have to provide your own. Once we've got our pin in there we need to tighten down our screw right here or our bolt. We need a 12 millimeter socket. This is going to act as an anti-rattle device. See once we have that tightened down really no movement or play to speak of whatsoever. Now at this point we're ready to connect our trailer to our ball mount, latch and of course we'll want to pin it closed.Now one thing to keep in mind, we do have an extension that's just kind of a side effect of using our dual receiver. In most situations your safety chains aren't going to connect and your wiring is probably going to be a little bit short to make your connection once this is in place. Keep in mind extending these to make sure they connect is very important safety-wise. At this point our bike rack will go into place, cargo carrier, whatever you might be using it for and we're going to install this per the rack's instructions.If you're using a cargo carrier throw a pin and clip in there of course and we also recommend tightening down the screw that we have on top there, the bolt that we have on top there. Even though this does have an anti-rattle device included, tightening that down is just going to give it that extra little bit of security there. That's going to complete our look at the Malone Dual Receiver.

Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver - MPG544

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (160 Customer Reviews)


by:

I bought this Dual Purpose Receiver at Twice the price of that Big online company because of reviews from owners that bought on both sites. After evaluating the reviews, I chose to go with etrailer because I have come to trust them as a company that gives you a great product that they will stand behind and they appreciate your business. I haven’t used this receiver yet, but can look at it and I am comfortable that I made the right choice. I will follow up with another review after I use it.

I bought this to give me the ability to attach my bicycle rack in addition to my tow bar. It has worked perfectly. After looking around and not being certain of what I would receive after ordering, I elected to order from Etrailer as they have always provided exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.



by:

Ordered on April 2nd. Delivered within a week. Used within a week of delivery. Rusted immediately. Reported back to etrailer, who were no help at all, admitted that it is a faulty product and sent me to Malone warranty instead of carrying responsibility for the quality of the product that they sold, that rusted within one week of use and was reported in less than 30 days. Poor product quality and customer service, don't buy from them, they don't care about the customer and will do anything to save their money.



by:

Again the perfect solution to my need to carry a bike and tow my trailer at the same time and still be able to open my FJ Cruiser’s swing out rear door. When not towing, I leave it in the hitch and install a third brake light and bump stop to protect my protruding spare tire on the back door. Etrailer is the best online retailer I’ve ever done business with. Great product knowledge, great videos, in use photos, and super nice customer service personnel. These guys are winners. I’d pay twice as much to get this level of service.

Stephen

4/19/2020

Rereading my review I think I may have misled some people. I meant to say that I can open my FJ rear door with the dual purpose hitch receiver in place, but not with the bike mounted. But it continues to serve me well. When not towing a trailer and hauling my bike, I have a stop light and protective bumper mounted in the two 2” receiver slots. Love it.



by: 05/05/2021

So far this hitch looks like a winner. I was able to put my bike rack on the top and then my car will tow from the bottom. I will see how it works next week.

I still love the product. Makes carrying my bike easy when I am pulling my jeep.



by:

My bike rack was too high behind my Chevy Traverse for easy loading/unloading. I felt the Morgan reliever would remedy the situation if it could be inverted. I contacted you for verification that this could be safely done. A prompt review told me this could be done safely. I ordered the receiver and it arrived quickly (in a badly damaged box) complete. I installed the receiver, my bike rack and it works perfectly! Thanks for your attention and advice

GREAT! I’m 87 years old and I use the adapter often in a “flipped” position. This allows me to load my heavy ebike easily onto its rack. I love it!



by:

I have used the above mentioned hitch devise in conjunction with our hitch luggage rack to provide additional ground clearance. It has worked very well to prevent the luggage rack from dragging on the pavement when pulling out on roads with a deep crown. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. All the employees I have delt with at etrailer, have been exceptional help with all products. etrailer has now become my first choice.



by:

This hitch was exactly what I needed. Most dual racks would not work because when our bike rack was mounted on top it interfered with mounting / moving the Roadmaster tow bars. We were able to use the back mounting hole on the top rack to give us the clearance needed. The included anti rattle device would have been a required addition. Would have had to buy it separately if it wasn't included.

The extra towing length was a concern but after a few miles the concern disappeared. Of course we are towing a Miata so if your towing something like a Suburban you might want to do the math.



by:

Have Curt hitch installed on 2020 Hyundai Palisade and needed extension unit to mount my cargo carrier. In addition, I wanted to make sure the carrier was elevated above the exhaust to prevent burning of the carrier bag. First I tried the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, however the 2" receiver rubbed up against the rear bumper and the carrier was close to the exhaust. After reviewing the dimensions I chose the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver which move the carrier out and up. I was able to open the hatch of the Hyundai fully clearing the loaded cargo carrier. Using the hitch receiver reduces the tongue weight 50%, which dropped by hitch from 750 to 375 lbs, which is sufficient for my application.



by:

works great to use Yakima 4 timer bike rack and 8ft trailer for Kayaks. I had to take a spare tire off from a trailer to provide clearance with bike rack. No issue during 2hrs high driving.



by:

The new leaf springs ride great and lifted my Superduty about 3 inches. The only reason I gave four stars was for slight damage. This may have occurred during shipping. I've read several reviews that complained about some sort of damage during shipping, and I feel there might be need to look at how things are packaged.



by:

Easy to use and keeps my cargo hauler away from my muffler. The included clamp keeps everything tight



by:

The hitch was pre-installed, and had black tape over the accessory package. A reason why the last person returned it because the hitch is off-center. The top part is not aligned with the bottom hitch.



by:

Very happy with the dual purpose hitch extender. I was able to attached my bike rack and still be safe in pulling my trailer. Well built. Fast shipping.



by:

Just what I need to use a bike rack and tow my boat. Kate was very helpful, answered all my questions and quickly handled the return of first adapter and expedited the new one.

Thank you for the great support!



by:

Great product! Helped me get my bike rack up and further back so I didn't need to drop the bike rack pivot to open the tailgate. The extra hitch receiver allowed me to place a brake light/back up light in the lower receiver while using the upper one to hold the bike rack! very stout and well designed.



by:

This make towing my kayak trailer and carrying my electric bike rack at the same time possible. Now we don’t have to decide which we’ll take on a trip. Options are good. Note it rides low so you have to be careful pulling out of driveways sometimes.



by:

This hitch allowed me to put a bike rack on top of my trailer hitch. Just be sure that it is all securely on the ball before taking off! I didn’t and could have been much worse!



by:

product was just as advertised, very good quality and works great, was just what I was looking for, etrailer was good to work with, hitch arrived in a very timely manner



by:

This is a great addition to my kayak trailer. When I go on long fishing trips I’m able to pull my trailer and add my 2” receiver metal tray in the upper receiver where I added a large plastic lockable box bolted to the tray. etrailer.com has a solution for everything. And, this attachment is very strong and it will last a very long time.



by:

Rugged hitch to be used to get my bike rack up higher off the ground so it does not bottom out on my fabricated cargo/bike carrier. The anti-wobble plate and two set screws really firms up both the hitch and the cargo carrier. The product arrived a day earlier than estimated. However given the width of my cargo carrier it is unlikely I will be able to attach any type of trailer.



by:

Good product. Seems well constructed and exactly as described.



by:

This product works very well for intended purposes. I would recommend it to those needing to pull a trailer and perhaps also carry a bike rack for example.



by:

Excellent product. I have been looking to lower the hitch on my Subaru Ascent to lower my bike rack. This is perfect. Set it up today and my bike rack was solid and wobble free.



by:

Love double hitch. Used it for a year now and am happy. The 2 large electric bikes and bike rack really test the hitch, the u bolt and set screws keep the bikes from moving, I don’t need to tie or strap the bikes down. Since I am pulling the car there is little weight on the hitch and works great.

Be aware that as mentioned in the product description, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch is reduced by half when an extension like this part is used. Youll want to ensure that the weight of the bikes and rack does not exceed 50 of the hitch tongue weight capacity.



by:

Great product. Needed this for two reasons.
1.
I needed to be able to load both bikes and a cargo carrier on the back of a Jeep Cherokee.
2. I also needed more room between the bike rack and the rear cargo door to load and unload with out having to tilt the bike rack.

Edward

Working great. Use when ever loading bikes and cargo carrier or just want to have the cargo carrier higher off the ground.

  • Height Increase of Malone Dual Hitch Adapter # MPG544
    You didn't say how much more height you need or the height of your friend's dual adapter but you should compare it to the Malone # MPG544 which is 7-1/2 inches from the center of the top pin hole to the center of the bottom pin hole. This is the most height from any of our dual hitch adapters and likely more than your friend's. Since your bike rack and bikes are less than 100 pounds you probably won't have an issue but I recommend verifing the total weight on the adapter because it's...

  • Hitch Adapter Recommendation to Raise Cargo Carrier
    The Malone dual hitch adapter part # MPG544 will move your hitch accessory up 7-1/2 inches above where it currently is. You should note that it cuts the capacity of the hitch it is used in by 50 percent. I am pretty sure you have a Ram 2500 though so that most likely won't be an issue.

  • Weight Capacity of Malone MPG544 2 Inch Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver
    The # MPG544 itself can handle 400 lbs of weight, but because an adapter/extender like the # MPG544 moves the load further away from the receiver tube it increases the leverage applied to the hitch. Because of that, using an adapter or extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. For instance, if the hitch tongue weight capacity is 400 lbs, using the # MPG544 would reduce that figure to 200 lbs, which means that any hitch accessories plus any cargo placed...

    The Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 weighs 20lbs. Using this adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your receiver by 50-percent. At most you will be able to support up to 400lbs of tongue weight and tow a trailer up to 4,000lbs with this dual hitch receiver.

  • Dual Hitch Adapter for Lowering Bike Rack on a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse
    The Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver item # MPG544 can be inverted. This will lower your bike rack 7-1/2" from where it currently sits now. The Malone Hitch Receiver does reduce your 2020 Chevy Traverse's towing and tongue weight capacity by 50%. You will want to ensure that the combined weight of your bike and rack do not exceed this.

  • Can Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 be Used with Mobility Scooter
    You can use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 in the two inch hitch of your 2013 Toyota Sienna but you should note that when you use adapters like this you cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent due to the added leverage and movement created by it. So you'd need to add up the weight of your carrier and scooter and compare that to half of your hitch's tongue weight capacity to know if this will work or not.

  • Does Malone Hitch Extender MPG544 Need Hitch Extender if Used with Tow Bar
    Since tow bar setups are pretty low and flat without a lot of vertical movement you wouldn't need a hitch extender to use the Malone # MPG544 with your flat towing setup. And actually we can't recommend using an additional extender with this in genera.

  • Could Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 be Used in Drop Position
    If you wanted to use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 in the drop position to lower your scooter carrier you could, but keep in mind this will cut the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. That shouldn't be a problem for your 2015 Wrangler though as most hitches for it have at least 350 lbs tongue weight.

This bike rack is the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack TH83JV. This locking system is specific to Thule racks but there are other locking mechanisms available that are universal, like # 63232.

  • Could Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 Carry Motorcycle and Carrier
    When using a hitch extender like the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 there's two things you need to keep in mind. One is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are used in by 50 percent and also this has it's own 400 lb capacity. So you would need to make sure that your motorcycle and carrier weighs less than 400 lbs and also that your hitch has at least twice the capacity needed for the weight of your motorcycle and carrier.

  • Is it a Good Idea to Use More Than One Hitch Adapter?
    Here at etrailer, we do not recommend using two hitch adapters at the same time. Not only does it reduce the weight capacity of the hitch even more (more than the 50% from using one adapter), it can be dangerous for other motorists. In addition, we also don't recommend using the adapter backwards. For this situation, I suggest eliminating the second adapter.

    Yes, the Malone 2-Inch Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver Adapter # MPG544 can be used to tow a vehicle using a tow bar in the lower receiver while at the same time using a hitch-mount type bike rack in the upper receiver. You do want to keep in mind that all such hitch adapters have the unavoidable side-effect of reducing your hitch's rated tongue weight (TW) capacity by 50-percent. TW is the downward force on the hitch from the items installed in it. A tow bar exerts very little TW on a hitch...
