Front mounted scooter on Dually

[Wisc-Mike]

I need some advice. We are considering putting a front receiver on the dually so we can bring our Yamaha 125 Zuma with us to Florida this winter.

I would have preferred to double tow with our 10ft. enclosed utility trailer, but I am a little concerned about going through Georgia or Alabama as well as Florida with a double tow. I do not think it is legal there as it is here. Then we could have taken our two kayaks along as well.

Has anyone carried a scooter on the front of their pick up while towing?

Our scooter only weighs 270 lbs (320 with 400lbs capacity carrier) and only the handle bars would be above the hood on the passenger side. The class IV front receiver is rated at 500 lbs tongue weight.

We are planning on leaving in mid December and returning in late March. So I would not think driving in hot weather will be an issue. But I am concerned about airflow to the Diesel cooling system and intercooler.

We would not drive at night if the scooter interferes with the headlights.

Any thoughts or experience shared would be appreciated!
