Question:

I need hitch for my 2021 Cadillac XT5. Hitch to be used for 1 1/4 bike rack. I am only able to find 2 inch hitches for XT5. Is there a 1 1/4 hitch for XT5 or do I need to buy 2 inch hitch and adaptor?

Hey Gregg. The only hitches available for the 2021 Cadillac XT5 are 2" ones like our etrailer item # e62AR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.

What specific make and model bike rack do you have? Most of the ones that fit a 1-1/4" hitch won't let you use an adapter like the MaxxTow item # MT70033. You'll want to use a reducer sleeve like item # e63YR. This simply slides into the 2" receiver and makes it smaller so a 1-1/4" accessory will fit.

The main reason I asked what specific bike rack you had was because some of them have an option to add a shank or sleeve to fit a 2" receiver. You can add this information and any other questions you have in the box below that says Reply to Jerred H.

Hey Gregg, did the hitch and reducer sleeve work out for your bike rack on the Cadillac XT5? I'm curious to know if this setup was the right fit for you, as it could help others with similar needs.
