Availability of Class II Hitch for 2007 Toyota Avalon  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The 2007 Avalon is rated only for a light-duty Class I hitch, so there is no Class II hitch available.

Light duty Class I hitches have specific weight limitations; for example a hitch-mount bike rack for a Class I hitch can carry only 2 bikes maximum, regardless of the capacity of the bike rack itself. I have linked an article on hitch classes that will explain in detail.

We have the Curt Hitch # C11427 that is a confirmed fit for your Avalon. This is a bolt on hitch that requires no drilling or welding to install.

If you intend to do some light towing, you will want wiring harness # 119178KIT and drawbar # C45022. For a 1-7/8" hitch ball use # 19256. For a 2" hitch ball use # 19258. Please check with your owner's manual to see towing capacities.

If you use your hitch for an unsupported load like a class I bike rack or cargo carrier, you will need to also use a stabilizer strap like # 18050.

If a bike rack is in your future the other link will show you compatible 2-bike Class I bike racks, including the excellent lightweight Swagman XTC-2 Platform Bike Rack # S64670, which I would recommend to you.
