Newbie Towing Question
Hi folks. I have a 2021 GLS450 and I want to purchase a tow trailer for my motorcycle. Instead of a traditional trailer, I have found a hitch mounted carrier that looks interesting. See link:

Would anybody here be concerned about “towing” a 485lb motorcycle with this carrier given the maximum tongue weight capacity of 617 lbs?
is that the accurate tongue weight capacity?
this carrier itself appears to weigh 100 lbs or slightly more.
this carrier claims 600lb capacity, but I’m not sure that that directly translates to motorcycle weight given tongue weight capacities.
thoughts on this setup?
