I have a great rack for you, though I do not know if you are referring to the Thule T2 Pro XTR or the Thule T2 Classic, so I can give you a response for both.

Unfortunately, with the Thule T2 Pro XTR and the Thule T2 Classic, you do not have enough weight capacity for your 4 48-pound e-bikes. This is because they only have a maximum overall capacity of 160 pounds. With your 4 e-bikes, you need a total of at least 192 pounds while still under the per-bike maximum.

A great alternative that definitely works is the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y02443-2. The HoldUp comes with a 50-pound per-bike capacity and you are not limited to a maximum overall weight capacity.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
