Question:

Will the European Thule bike racks such as the Easyfold XT filt onto a Euro Stylefoot 2inch tow ball? Or must it be a 50mm one?!

Expert Reply:

The US version of the EasyFold XT # TH903202 utilizes the trailer hitch receiver itself and not the hitch ball. The European style that fits onto the 50mm hitch ball has not been tested on a 2 inch hitch ball so I can't confirm the fit. I reached out to Thule and their North American tech group can't confirm the fit or not as they are not cross trained and don't have the ability to test fit the conversion.

For a 50mm ball I recommend # 63912 for a standard ball mount like # 3593 for a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver. We do not have the euro style ball mount with an integrated 50mm ball.
