Question:

Is there a 2 inch hitch available for a 2006 Mustang V6. I have a nice bike rack but it requires a hitch with a 2 inch opening. The 1 1/4 would be too small. Im not going to tow, just carry bikes.

Expert Reply:

The 2-inch hitches are reserved for vehicles that have higher towing capacities like SUVs and trucks. For your 2006 Ford Mustang you would be limited to a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the part # C11312. It's a shame you won't be able to use your nice bike rack designed for 2-inch openings, but if you would be interested in a new bike rack that is confirmed to fit this size hitch, I would recommend the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670.

This rack is very popular with our customers and has a ton of positive reviews from those who have tried it so I highly recommend it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
