On a Class I hitch, such as the Curt Hitch # C11496 you referenced, you are limited to only carrying 2 bikes on a bike rack. The additional weight of the third bike would potentially damage the frame and hitch as it is not designed to support the additional weight. I attached an FAQ article on how to select a hitch mounted bike rack for you to check out also.

If you need to carry 3 bikes you could carry 2 bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack and then put 1 bike on a roof-rack mounted bike rack. I attached a link to a page that has all of the roof racks that are available for your vehicle. Once you have a roof rack picked out you will need a roof rack mounted bike rack.

I also attached a link to all of the different roof rack mounted bike racks for you to check out also.
