Compatibility of Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver with Thule Vertex Bike Rack on 2014 Toyota Camry
Question:
i was wondering if this kit would work well for my 2014 Toyota Camry SE and I would need to purchase any additional parts sold separately before I complete and place my order for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4inch - 36540. I already have a bike rack Thule Camber Hitch Mount Bike Carrier for 2 bikes. Would the 2 work well together and do I need any additional parts? Thank you for your help!

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite # 36540 is a great choice for a hitch receiver on your 2014 Toyota Camry. It's a Class II hitch so the Thule Camber # TH9058 will work just fine.
There aren't any other parts that you have to get but you might want the locking hitch pin # THSTL2 to secure the rack to your Camry.
Also, if you're going to be carrying any women's or children's bikes that don't have a straight horizontal cross tube you may need a frame adapter bar. The Kuat Ubar # UB01 connects to a bike's seat post and handlebar stem to provide the horizontal tube a typical men's bike usually has so that the bikes will hang level and ride better on a hanging bike rack.
