Can Cargo Box and Bike Rack Fit on a Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer
Question:
Hi, Im considering this trailer to transport my kayaks: Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7foot Bunks - 800 lbs Item MAL25FR. The reason Im looking at the LowBed specifically is because Im looking for a total height to be less than 30" for the storage space I have for it. I have a Toyota Highlander 2021. The hitch on my highlander starts 16" from ground. I have a few questions: 1. how do i connect the trailer to my hitch? what are the parts i need to purchase 2. Im interested to also install a bike rack on the trailer. Will this one fit: Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack - Wheel Mount Item MPG2100 ? 3. Also, will this box Malone MicroSport Trailer Storage Trunk fit the trailer under the kayaks? or is it either the bike rack or the box ? Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hey Tanya, thanks for reaching out!
To tow your trailer you'll need a ball mount with a 2" rise and for that I recommend going with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4. This gives you a 2-3/4" rise but that will still work for your application.
The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR can accommodate the Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack # MPG2100, but while the Storage Trunk # MPG481 will physically be able to fit inside the frame of your trailer, I don't believe you'll be able to even fit both of the kayaks with the trunk installed so I recommend using the bike rack.
We do have some alternative cargo box options like the Yakima DeepSpace # Y65RR, but this will end up being a bit more pricey, especially if you don't already have a roof rack.

Thank you for the detailed response, Jon! Is there another storage box that would fit in the frame of the # MAL25FR trailer with 2 kayaks?
