Choosing The Right Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Video

Hello Lou, thanks for reaching out. The hitch pin you are looking for is the etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin for Benton Hitch Accessories #e43JR. This will work with the Benton #B54VR bike rack you mentioned, as well as the #B54FR,…

Yes, it will! The etrailer Hitch item #e93ZR has been confirmed to fit the 2023 Nissan Rogue. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it will work great with the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack item #TH83JV. If you max out the capacity on the…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Hey Kp; they pretty much are identical as you observed. Aside from the price, the only real difference here is that Curt tends to add a thicker powder coat finish to their hitches. It is for that reason that I would choose the #C64NR over the #76170…

For your 2023 Subaru Outback, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C69VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this hitch because it is an easy…

All available hitches made for your 2007 Toyota Matrix XR include both Class I and Class II types in the 1-1/4-inch size. All are shown on the linked page. You'll notice all three options, parts # 24812, #C12221 and #C12013, share a very similar…

I'll just rip this band-aid off as fast as I can but there is just not a way to use a standard hitch-mounted bike rack and tow at the same time with your 2006 Toyota Matrix XR. The issue, like you said, is the 1-1/4 inch hitch not having an…

The biggest change between the Thule T2 Pro and Pro XT #TH83JV is the distance between the bikes. Originally the T2 Pro was designed to work with Fat bikes right out of the box. The only issue was people had a hard time getting 2 Fat bikes to fit…

Hey Becky, thanks for reaching out! The 2" Curt Rack Receiver #C92NR that you purchased unfortunately isn't a fit for your 2013 Toyota Prius v (it fits a 2023 - 2024 Toyota BZ4X OR 2023 - 2024 Subaru Solterra) but if you really want that…

Yes, you can use the Thule T2 Pro XTR Platform Bike Rack, #TH83JV, on your 2012 Nissan Rogue as long as you have a 2 inch trailer hitch. If you have a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch, then you will want part #TH23JV or the #TH9045. There are a few things to…

I went out to the warehouse and examined the Curt Hitch #12221 and #C12013. While they are similar, there is a key difference in the designs. From the top of the mounting brackets on each side of the hitch down to the bottom of the receiver, hitch…

In order to transport 4 bikes with your 2004 Toyota Matrix, I recommend going with a trailer hitch-mounted bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro #TH934XTR. This is a great, sturdy rack that can hold up to 4 bikes at 35 pounds each. It features a…
