Default Slied in ATV receiver??

Is anyone familiar with those slide in ATV/Motorcycle receiver hitches? It slides into your receiver hitch like a normal hitch but it's a device that you can load an ATV on and haul on the back of your pickup, similar to those handicapped cart set ups.......anyway, could a hitch be installed on this so you could also tow a trailer? If so, would the Ram 1500 be capable of accomodating this set up as well as having an ATV loaded in the back? One ATV in the back, one on the receiver "hitch" and towing a 7x14 single axle camper trailer. ATV's are about #1300 combined and the trailer is an older model Cardinal, not very heavy, single axle. Would this be overloading the truck?

I think the name is Bulldog or something similar. My friend has one that he uses to secure his Honda in the back of his truck. It keeps the ATV in place and it doesn't budge at all. It works well and I think it is under 100 bucks!

I doubt you'll be exceeding your limits with a couple ATV's and a small trailer. If you do, we're all in trouble. I've seen 1500's do pretty amazing things.

Ughh, didn't realize the type-o. Anyway, I just wanna make sure I don't waste a lot of time and money only to hook up for a trip and realize I'm overloaded. From some of the stuff I've seen guys hauling with 1500's I think I'll be OK.
