Question:
I have a 2024 Ionic 5 and a Thule Bike rack that has a 1 1/4 width to connect to a hitch. Do you have a product I can purchase? Most i see are bars that bolt to the car with a 2 hitch. Probably due to lots of plastic fender/parts.

Hey Julie, since all of the hitches that fit your 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 are 2 inch in size like the Curt # C98DR what you would need is a hitch reducer to allow bike rack to be used like the Curt # C45770 and you'd be set.
Normally the 2 inch hitch size is preferred since it has higher capacities and has the most accessories made for it which is why it's so popular.
