Can a 2 Inch Shank on a Cargo Carrier Fit a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Chevy Impala
The only way to use the 2 inch cargo carrier with a trailer hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver is to use an adapter. However, the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. So if you were to install hitch # 90137 on your 2009 Chevy Impala. the 300 pound tongue weight capacity of the hitch would be reduced to 150 pounds. What I recommend is to get a cargo carrier for a 1-1/4 inch hitch so you are not limiting the capacity of the hitch. I have inc

Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Volkswagen GTI
To start, lets look at trailer hitches. There are 3 hitches for the 2012 Volkswagen GTI, see link. I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24904 over the Curt hitch # C11000.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Honda CR-V LX AWD
The tongue weight figure you referenced, 150 pounds, is correct if the hitch or owners manual states the max tongue weight is 10 percent of 1,500 pounds. The vehicle tongue weight capacity is what you will need to go by, even if the hitch is rated higher. In this case, if the hitches you are interested both exceed the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle, there is no advantage to going with the higher of the two. When you are calculating how much weight is on the hitch you would indeed u

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium
The best solution would be for you to install a 2 inch trailer hitch like # 87568 so there will not be any compatibility issues with your accessories and the hitch. You would not want to use an adapter to go from 1-1/4 to 2 inches because doing so reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. So that 200 pound tongue weight capacity would be cut down to 100 pounds when using the adapter. In terms of ground clearance, on the wagon models the top of the hitch receiver will be r

What Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Will Fit a 2012 Honda Civic Si
With your 2012 Honda Civic si, the Curt # C11437 is the correct hitch for your vehicle. This hitch is a class I and has a 1-1/4 opening and a 200 pound tongue weight which means you can carry up to 200 pounds on this hitch. Class I hitches are limited to 2 bikes because the weight of the extra bike placed farther from the back of the vehicle will cause too much leverage for the vehicle frame or hitch.I have attached a short video showing the installation of this hitch on a 2012 Honda Civic.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2010 BMW 335xi 4-Door Sedan
There are 2 trailer hitches for a 2012 BMW 335xi. If the vehicle has 2 mufflers use # C11756 and if it has 1 muffler use # C11033. Both of these hitches have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. A hitch with a higher capacity is not available for your vehicle. The safest thing to do would be to use a small motorcycle trailer like # UMCT1XHD-AM31985 or something similar if you can find one locally.

Options for Carrying 4 Bikes with a 2010 Nissan Altima with a Class I Hitch
I believe I have an option for carrying 4 bikes with your Altima, but the thing about using a hitch adapter is that they cut the capacity of the hitch in half due to the increased leverage and movement the adapter creates. Since the hitch on your 2010 Nissan Altima is most likely a Class I hitch with a 200 lb tongue capacity and using a hitch adapter would reduce that down to 100 lbs, you would not have enough capacity for the weight of your rack plus 4 bikes.
