I’m putting a hitch on my car so I can take my bike to some state parks in the Spring. UHaul will install a 2" or 1.25" hitch with or without a “hidden crossbar”. I know little about cars and towing.

How badly will I restrict my rack choice by opting for the cheaper 1.25"? I won’t be using this for anything but bikes.

    I have ebikes and I wish I had a 2".

    If you are just hauling a maximum of two bikes under 40lbs you’ll be fine with the smaller hitch. Otherwise just don’t.

      Thanks, I’m leaning towards the larger hitch for options, and I will probably look for the rack first.
