Question:
I own a 2016 Ford Mustang fastback. I am interested in fitting a bike rack on the car. I did not see any trunk bike racks so I am looking at hitches and hitch style bike racks. Of the hitches for my car I prefer the Curt C11405 since it looks the most hidden from the pictures. I saw a recommendation for an alternate hitch for a bike rack on this car. I am looking for an explanation if a particular hitch is required to fit a bike. At the end, I am looking for a complete package offering that gets me a hitch, bike rack for 2 bikes, and any additional parts that are required like a bike strap. Thanks.

For your 2016 Ford Mustang I would recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 24928. The Curt you mentioned ( # C11405) is a great hitch, but since it requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when using it with a bike rack I don't think it's your best option. It also costs the most too.
Since the Draw Tite # 24928 is priced the best, and doesn't require the stabilizer strap it would be what I would recommend.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
