Hi there Brian! Yes, the Blue Ox Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver part # BLU33VJ is listed as a fit for your 2028 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and it'll be a great option for carrying your bike rack! It has a standard 2 inch receiver, so it'll work with bike racks designed for that size hitch. And since you're just using it for bikes, you won't need to worry about adding any trailer wiring or other towing equipment.

One thing I like about this hitch is that it bolts directly to your Jeep's frame without any drilling or welding. It also has a textured black powder coat finish over a protective coating to help resist rust and corrosion. The hitch itself is rated for 750 lbs of tongue weight, although you'll still want to stay within your Jeep's limits and your bike rack's capacity. That gives you a solid setup without having to add anything you don't actually need.

What bike rack are you planning to use on your Gladiator and what kind of bikes are you putting on it?
