Expert Reply:
A trailer hitch on any vehicle can be used for towing a trailer, bike racks, or cargo carriers. If you have a trailer to tow, the Curt trailer hitch, # C13010, can handle up to 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 400 pounds tongue weight. Consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle.
If you want to use a trailer hitch mount bike rack or cargo carrier, this hitch has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, so you will need to choose an accessory that can be used with a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch.
