Hello David, thanks for getting in touch. For your 2024 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH79QR. This has a 2" receiver and a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, so more than enough for your bike rack and two e-bikes.
To answer your other question, vertical load and tongue weight are the same thing in this application.

Hello Gilberto,
Thank you for the links, they were most helpful. The Tesla bike rack that you have is identical to the Yakima FullTilt 4. Yes, the Replacement ZipStrip Straps for Yakima Standard Bike Rack Cradles - Qty 2 # Y8890297 are the correct strap replacement.

Hi Kalani; assuming I'm looking at the correct Aventon Aventure you need a bike rack capable of handling 77 lbs per bike. The closest option we have that includes everything you're looking for is the Thule Epos Bike Rack w/ LEDs for 2 Bikes # TH49XE. However, it has a max capacity of 140 lbs (75 lbs for 1 bike) so you're going to have to remove the batteries to carry the bikes.
This bike rack comes with locks for the bike rack and bikes, along with LED tail lights you will plug into a... view full answer...
Hello Andrei,
There isn't an axle we can offer as there aren't any that small we have, but you may be able to get a different hub. I couldn't find the bearing sizes of that axle to find a new hub so you'll have to do a bit of measuring. For that you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them.
If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper... view full answer...
When we have listed tongue weights, the tongue weight rating is the weight that a hitch can handle vertically pressing down on the receiver. This is the vertical weight/accessory rate rating you are asking for. The maximum gross trailer weight, on the other hand, is the horizontal weight of anything that is attached to the hitch (pulled from behind).
Since the tongue weight on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143 is 750 pounds, it will be able to accommodate a 375-pound... view full answer...
Hey, Pierre!
You'll want to pick up Stealth Hitch part # 391TES317. This is a complete kit so will come with the hitch, all the hardware to install the hitch and wiring, the attachments to use it for towing or carrying a basket (like part # e98874) as well as tow a trailer.
What were you looking at towing on the trailer? view full answer...
Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out. You are in luck, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 you ordered for your 2023 Tesla Model 3 will also fit your 2026 Model 3. That hitch will fit the 2017-2026 Model 3, so you are good to go there.
You will just need a new hardware kit, since the bolts aren't intended to be re-used. We can provide new hardware with part # RHK. When you go to the page for the # RHK there is a box where you can enter the part number for your hitch. In... view full answer...
Hey Sylvie, yes the etrailer anti-rattle device part # e38FV does work with the Tesla hitch you have installed on your Model 3. This can also be left installed at all times as well. The EasyFold XT part # TH903202 can also be used with this but your bike rack already has an integrated anti-rattle device so it wouldn't be needed with it. Why are you wanting to run both at same time? view full answer...
Hi Tom, welcome back! As far as I can tell that space is just too tight for the etrailer # e38FV. Even if you installed it sideways one of the screws would be inaccessible. We have at least one person who has used it in a similar space, but it looks like it is a larger opening than the one on the 2025 Model Y. For an option that will fit I recommend the Gen-Y # GY88XR. You can see this on another Gen-Y in the photo below.

Hello again Kalani; the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack # LGA25VR does not have a specific light and license plate kit. However, the same Curt # C53201 would work well with this bike rack. You can actually see the lights on the bike rack in the picture below from one of our customers. For a license plate bracket you could use the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder # Y02713 which can easily be attached with the included straps. view full answer...
Yes, it does Marcus. Our etrailer item # e33ZR hitch does indeed fit the 2024 Tesla Model 3. We had a customer install one earlier this year on theirs.
The etrailer Hitch item # e33ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. It comes with all the hardware you'll need to complete the installation.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

Hey Fabian, I checked with EcoHitch just now and they verified that their hitch part # EH36SR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2026 Tesla Model S Plaid model. While we haven't the chance to install this on a 26' model yet I can guarantee it will fit as EcoHitch does not mess around with their fits. They for sure test fit and verified it. view full answer...
Hey Eric, the Stealth hitch part # 391TES317T that you referenced does have the tongue weight capacity for a dirt bike and motorcycle carrier as it has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like you noted but you are only as strong as the weakest component in a towing setup so if your vehicle only a 160 lb tongue weight capacity that would be the overall capacity. What dirt bike do you have? view full answer...
Hey Michael, I went down to the warehouse to get the measurements.
The cable drums on that M-3 # M386FR spring system are 4 inches in diameter and 2 3/8 inches in width. The exact width isn’t specified because they’re designed to slide and adjust on the shaft to match your trailer setup.
Are you installing these on a Toy hauler, Utility trailer, ATV/Bike trailer? view full answer...
Hi Yves,
There likely was a change between those model years that prevents the Curt hitch from fitting, but it could just also be that Curt hasn't been able to physically test the fit yet on that year and model. We unfortunately haven't either so the only option we can currently recommend is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317. This would come with removable receiver tube that you could mount your bike rack to. The receiver tube has a 2" opening, which the most common... view full answer...
Hi Denys; you must be referring to the factory reinforcement beam or the base plates. Removing these won't hurt anything and isn't uncommon for a hitch with this design. The instructions for the # 391TES317 actually allow for the reinstallation of the reinforcement beam after the hitch is attached. The base plates must be discarded if you do this but they're replaced by the brackets for the hitch. When the reinforcement beam is discarded the hitch takes its place. view full answer...
Hey Greg! Yes, the Oris Trailer Hitch with Disappearing Hitch Receiver # TS69VR will fit your Model S. This is designed to fit models built after the mid-year refresh like yours. The receiver folds under so it will be hidden behind your bumper when not in use.

Our lightest hitch mounted cargo carrier is the Flint Hill Goods 22" x 49" Hitch Mounted Aluminum Cargo Carrier item # FHG59ZR. It weighs only 23 lbs and measures 49-1/4" long x 22-1/4" wide x 3-1/4" tall.
We've actually tested it out on a 2022 Tesla Model Y. I went ahead and linked the video we made below so you can see exactly what this cargo carrier will look like on your car. view full answer...
Hey Bjorn,
We do have a wiring harness for that 2019 Model 3. Along with that hitch, # EH84GR, I recommend the wiring harness # 119250KIT. This is going to give you a 4 flat connection at the rear of the vehicle, and better yet it is a plug and play installation so it does not require any splicing!
