Question:

Hi, I won the Thule TH9025XT and looking into hitches for my 2017 honda civic hatchback. All the hitches that fit the car are class I hitches. Are there any limitations using this rack with a class I hitch?

Expert Reply:

The Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT that you won (congrats btw!) can be used in a Class I hitch like the Curt # C92UR that fits our 2017 Honda Civic hatchback but you'd be limited to only carrying up to 2 bikes with the Class I hitch. The lower rated Class I hitches can't handle the weight and leverage that the additional bikes but on the hitch.
