The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703 has a 350 lb tongue weight rating so as long as the weight of the bike and rack don't exceed this and the hitch is installed properly then won't have any issues. It attaches to the frame so it's much stronger than the ones that go on the bumper but this does also mean you must drill into the frame to install it.
