Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Chevy Camaro
Question:
Will this bike rack work for my 2012 Chev Camaro ?
asked by: Renee
Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for carrying bikes with your 2012 Chevy Camaro but no trunk mount bike racks will fit because they cannot be safely mounted. You will need to install a trailer hitch, like # 24850, and use a hitch mounted rack.
For a rack, it must be compatible with a Class I trailer hitch and with a Class I you are limited to carrying a maximum of 2 bikes. I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. This rack will fit a Class I, it features anti-sway cradles, it can tilt away from the vehicle, and it has an integrated cable lock. I have included some links on this bike rack and the hitch for you.
