Expert Answers about Heartland RV Hitch Bike Racks


  • Is there a Class II Hitch for a 2015 Toyota Corolla?
  • I am sorry there is not. I checked with our vendors and the only hitches available for a 2015 Toyota Corolla are class I like the Draw-Tite item # 24913 you were looking at. The limited options has to do with the size and towing/tongue weight capacity of your Corolla. We do have quite a few options for class I capable bike racks that will work great with your Corolla. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HLY94FR works is a good choice if your bikes weigh 35 lbs...

  • Why Can't a Class II Bike Rack Be Used on a Class I Hitch
  • I agree it can be a bit weird, but the reason the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY74FR won't work with a class I hitch is because there is actually a stopper in the receiver on class I hitches that physically prevents class II and up accessories from being used. This isn't the case with everything because some manufacturers build their stuff to work with both, but I'd say more often than not, they don't. So I'd recommend using a rack that specifically...

  • Is The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack C18085 Ok To Use With A Class 1 Hitch?
  • Hello James. The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 can indeed be used with a class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. We do want to keep the tongue weight in mind, but you won't have to worry about it too much. With the weight of the rack itself (46 lbs) and the weight of your road bike, you will be well under the 200 lb tongue weight limit for the hitch. You could easily carry two bike and be just fine as long as the bikes weigh less than 45 lbs apiece.

  • Can You Carry 2 E-Bikes Behind a 2008 Toyota Yaris?
  • As there is only a class I trailer hitch receiver like the Curt # C11480 available for your 2008 Toyota Yaris, you are going to want to use the Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE. This rack is a class I and is capable of holding 2 bike up to 140lbs with a maximum of 75lbs per bike if you had one weighing 75lbs and another 65lbs or less. The rack itself only weighs 38.1lbs so with your 60lb bikes you are only at 158.1lbs which is below the 200lb capacity of the Curt class I receiver. The uprights...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender for a Jeep Wrangler Hauling a Bike Rack

  • Hey Tom, So there isn't one single component that gives the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR an 80 lb per-bike capacity. It is a combination of a lot of things, including the welded gussets of the wheel holders and reinforced frame construction, per Hollywood Racks.

  • Bike Rack For 2 Ebikes That Has Cargo Carrier
  • Hi Steve; we may have what you are looking for, depending on the size and weight of your generator.

  • Is there a Swing-Away Hitch Adapter for a 2023 Ram Promaster 3500 Class B?
  • No, I am sorry. Your research is correct the swing-away adapters like the item # PVP20B just aren't built strong enough to withstand the extra vibrations and stress caused by being mounted on RV's. Plus they reduce the hitches capacity by 50% leaving you with a minimal amount of capacity to handle the weight of a 4-bike bike rack and the bikes themselves. The only solution I can offer you is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HR1400Z which tilts down when loaded or unloaded...

  • How to Tell if Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Will Fit with Flat Towed Vehicle Behind Motorhome
  • Thanks for reaching out, Mike! The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR sits out about 27-1/2" from the face of your hitch receiver, so as long as you still have turning clearance you'll be just fine. Since each vehicle has different geometry this is a measurement the user has to test out on their end. You can use something like the Gen-Y Shank # 325-GH-304 to help increase the height of your bike rack and still have a receiver for your tow bar. Let me know if this bike...

  • Carrying Heavy E-Bikes in Truck Bed of 2022 Ford F-150
  • Hey Jeff; thanks for the question and there is really just one option to carry your heavy ebikes in the bed of your 2022 Ford F-150, and that's with a tailgate pad bike rack: - Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO All other truck bed racks have weight limits which your 75 lb bikes far exceed, which is why the pad is the only way to haul the bikes. It does have soft foam padding for cushioning your bikes and straps to prevent them from moving as you travel.
