Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike E-Bike Rack for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L without the OEM trailer hitch. I would like to get a trailer hitch and a bike rack that can carry bikes for my family of 4. The bike rack and hitch should be able to accomodate a Tern GSD electric cargo bike as one of the bikes. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

Hey Daniel, what does your Tern GSD electric cargo bike weigh? Google showed sometimes they can weigh up to 77 lbs. Hopefully the one you have is less than 70 lbs as we do have one 4 bike rack that can carry 70 lb bikes on the inner two positions with the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y78TD.

Then for a hitch the Curt part # C65CR would be a great option for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L. I like this hitch because it is most hidden and also has great towing capacities.
