I've been looking for a hitch receiver based solution for carrying 3 bikes and a 50qt cooler on the Outside of my LC. So far, none of the off-the-shelf solutions I've found quite work for me.
I've seen adapters that can insert into a hitch receiver that provide two 2" receivers. With one of those, I could potentially attach a bike rack and cargo carrier. My concern is the leverage this would put on the factory receiver. While the total weight would be well below the tongue weight limit, the whole contraption would be a few feet long, and would put a lot of leverage on the receiver.
What do you think? Bad idea?
