Will my Class 1 hitch support a hitch mounted bike rack and bikes?
Possibly. It is always best to check with the manufacturer of the bike rack you will be using. Some manufacturers do not recommend the use of their racks with class 1 hitches. Those that have bike racks to work with class 1 hitches typically have very specific weights, specifications, and may even limit the number of bikes allowable. Just remember, when calculating the weight of your load don’t forget to add in the weight of the bike rack itself.
