The Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack part # TH9043PRO is the same as the Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH9042PRO except it weighs 1 lb more and holds 3 bikes. The Helium Pro 3 has all of the same great features like the tilt-away feature and integrated locks like the Helium Pro 2.

You sure can use the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack part # TH9043PRO on the Class I hitch if you only load 2 bikes at a time because the extra bike would cause more leverage on the setup and possibly damage the hitch.
