My 2011 Monty came with a 1.25" x 1.25" receiver on the back. When I removed it to have it modified to a 2" x 2" receiver, I found a tag out of sight on top of the receiver that said Max 150 lbs. The new 2" x 2" receiver and associated hardware is much more robust that the original but th weak point in the entire design are where the receiver assembly bolts to the Monty frame. Keystone tack welded a flimsy "C" channel to the bottom of the I-beam on each side. I now have a 2" x 2" receiver for my bike rack but I would never use the receiver for anything else. And remember, 40 lbs of dead weight becomes a lot more from the inertia when bouncing down the road.
