There are two common trailer hitch sizes. 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch. It sounds like you may have measured diagonally and your hitch size is actually a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
I have a similar solution that would work for you, but the Parkway part # TH956 would not be it since it is for 2 inch hitches. Instead the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR is very similar and would work well for you as it does fit the smaller hitch size.
I attached a review video as well for you to check out.
If you plan on carrying any womens 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.
