Does Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack Fit 2019 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Trailer Hitch Receiver

Question:

I have a 2019 Tacoma short bed. I am considering the Thule hitching post pro along with Thule snug tite hitch lock. I am assuming the Thule Hitch lock will replace the existing receiver hitch pin. The Tacoma receiver is a bit thicker than most trucks and has a slightly longer pin. Is this item compatible with my truck? As far as the rack itself, I would like to put three bicycles on it. One of them would be a bicycle for a six-year-old and another would be a bike with a woman‘s frame. Would this rack be compatible for these needs? I appreciate your help!

The Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-Bike Rack # TH934XTR is a really good option for your 2019 Toyota Tacoma, and you won't have any problems using it in your Tacoma's factory hitch with the Thule Snug-Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2.

You are right that the Snug-Tite will replace the Hitch Post Pro's pin and it will absolutely have the length needed to work with your hitch. The Snug-Tite hitch pin is 4-1/2" long so even with a thicker hitch it will have more than enough length.

As for the Hitching Post Pro being compatible with a child's and women's frame bike, it absolutely is, but as with all hanging racks you will need an adapter bar to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point. For the best value, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO.

The Hitching Post Pro is one of our most popular racks due to its combination of quality and affordability, and is a really smart choice for your 2019 Tacoma. I have added links to some video reviews for you to check out as well of the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-Bike Rack # TH934XTR.
