Using Hitch Adapter, part # 80301 with hitch for 2008 Toyota Sequoia

Expert Reply:

Yes, this will work for you. This adapter, part # 80301, will convert a 2-inch hitch to a 1-1/4 inch hitch opening. That said, one concern is that it will cut your hitch tongue weight in half. So if your 2008 Sequoia has a 600 lb tongue weight (tongue weight is usually 10 percent of your hitch capacity), then with the adapter, your tongue weight will be reduced to 300 lbs. This is still plenty to use with your bike rack, just keep in mind that the 300 lbs includes the weight of the bikes and the bike rack.

Trailer Hitches are typically given a class rating to define their weight capacity and receiver opening size. Classes range from class I to class V. A Class I hitch usually has a 2,000-lb capacity. A Class II usually has a 3,500-lb capacity.
