Question:
I have a 2022 Ford F-150, One somewhat annoyance is that the receiver hitch is several inches higher than it was for my previous vehicle. This hitch looks like it will work for my popup camper. If I am not towing, could I also use it for bike racks that fit a 2 inch receiver? This would help in loading my wifes recumbent bike, which is relatively long and heavy for a bike.

As long as you do not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the # GY87VR it could handle your bike and bike rack. This has a tongue weight capacity of 700 lbs so it won't be a problem. However, if you think you might tow your popup camper and also carry the bike rack I would get the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-504 or # 325-GH-305 instead. These are incredibly sturdy with a high capacity that can handle just about anything.
