Question:

I am moving to California from Seattle. I drive a 2012 Mustang and want to take my bike on the back on a rack. Id like to have it on frame hitch and not a trunk mount type. What do you recommend? I noticed Ford Mustang was not an option on your car style. Thanks,

We do have frame mounted hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2012 Ford Mustang. The Draw Tite hitch part # 24863 is a fit for the GT and non-GT models so it would be a great option. Especially since it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does with bike racks.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

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.
