What hitch hardware does it need?
The trailer coupler requires a 2-inch-diameter hitch ball, and the top of that ball should sit 18 inches from the ground so the trailer tows level. That is the trailer's side of the connection. Lighting is a DOT-approved plug-and-play submersible LED kit, so confirm your vehicle's connector matches.
Your vehicle needs a hitch with a receiver, a ball mount that fits that receiver, and a 2-inch ball fitted to the ball mount. A receiver does not take a ball directly, and receiver size is a separate matter from ball diameter — a 2-inch ball does not mean you need a 2-inch receiver. Hitch, receiver, ball mount, ball and tow vehicle must each be rated for the loaded trailer, and the lowest rating in that chain governs.
Boats and bikes together present a lot of frontal area, so expect more wind sensitivity than the empty trailer suggests.
What maintenance does it need?
Before each trip: lights, coupler and pin, crossed safety chains, lug nuts, condition of all three tires including the spare, and every strap on both carriers and racks. Service the wheel bearings on the schedule in your documentation. Rinse the frame, wheels, carriers and bike trays with fresh water after salt water, mud or road salt — bike trays trap grit readily — and check folding carrier pivots and tray hardware periodically.
Inflate to the Malone-recommended cold pressure for this trailer, 35 to 40 PSI, checked before towing while the tires are cold, and follow the trailer documentation and current manufacturer specification. A sidewall maximum is not the recommended operating pressure — read the sidewall for tire size, load range and maximum limits, not for the figure to inflate to.
