Question:
Is there a 2” trailer hitch for a 2012 Hyundai Elantra wagon or only the 1.25”? I’ll be using the hitch for bike racks and I’ve heard the 2” is more stable?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The only trailer hitch that fits your 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring Wagon is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch, though you don't have to worry about it not being stable, as it is just as stable as the larger 2 inch hitch. The correct hitch fit for your '12 Elantra Touring Wagon is the following:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11471
Just keep in mind that a Class I hitch does require a Class I-compatible bike rack. And since your Elantra is fairly low to the ground, I highly recommend either a hanging rack a platform rack with a significant rise.
The largest rise for a platform rack is the 8 inches from the Saris Freedom # SA4412B. Otherwise, for a hanging rack, the best overall value in regards to quality and price is from Kuat, the Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # B202-114.
