Question:
Is there a class II hitch that will fit the 2014 Dodge Avenger R/T V-6 vehicle? I am considering installing a bike rack that could carry more than two bikes. I cannot believe the car would have trouble with this...I need a strong enough hitch.

Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Dodge Avenger R/T there are only Class I hitches available. Which as you have already determined means that you cannot carry more than 2 bikes on a rack installed in the hitch.
One way around this is to use a 3-bike trunk mounted rack like the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. This rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and will allow you to carry up to 3 bikes.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
