Question:

I have an HD truck with 2.5 inch hitch receiver. Will this bike rack with an 2 inch adapter? If so, does Thule recommend a specific adapter that’s works best with its “no wiggle” system?

Hey Rich, yes you can use the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH99XE with your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500, you're just going to have to use a hitch reducer # BWRHXA2182.

This will reduce your 2.5" receiver to a 2" so the bike rack will fit. To make sure everything is nice and snug, I'd recommend also adding in the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 as well.
