Great question, Wayne!
Since the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24956 is only a Class I hitch receiver you'll be limited to carrying 2 bikes with it. Class I receivers are weaker and when you toss anything more than a 2-bike rack on one of them you're putting weight further out which has more of a dramatic effect on the receiver and is why both bike rack and hitch manufacturers agree that the limit is 2 bikes.
For carrying 3 bikes, you'll need to go with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 instead. This has a larger 2" receiver and is rated as a Class II hitch so it will be able to handle the weight safely.
It sounds like you already have a bike rack, but if you don't just let me know and I'll be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!
