Thanks so much for the photos! I can see how you might be confused. I went ahead and confirmed with Yakima that these rails are considered flush rails with fixed mounting points on your 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV.
For a great roof rack system for your setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 19 # Y00245
- Yakima Same-Key... view full answer...

The only trailer hitch we currently have confirmation of fit for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11457 which I confirmed by reaching out to Curt directly. The Curt Trailer Hitch is an excellent option for the Chevrolet Bolt EV as it offers a bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. It has a hidden design so only the receiver tube is shown which makes for a very clear install look as you can see in the attached photo.

The Thule EasyFold XT bike rack part # TH903202 that you referenced would easily fit in the EcoHitch 2 inch hitch part # 306-X7359 that fits your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV as the pin distance is right at 2-1/2 inches from face of hitch opening. view full answer...
I checked with Draw-Tite and was able to confirm that the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT85GR is a fit for a 2023 Kia EV6. It's also our only confirmed option at this time. It features a bolt-on install without any drilling required. It also has a class III rating with a 2" opening which is great for everything from hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers to towing.
Please note, if you will be towing then you'll also need a few other items like... view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 is our only custom fit 2" receiver that will fit your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT64GR will not fit your Bolt EV as it has a different shape for the taller Bolt EUV. view full answer...
That's a really good question, and because it is a 2 inch hitch, the hitch pin hole size is the standard 5/8" on the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359.
So you can use a standard hitch pin or lock like the Hitch Pin # ML1465DAT or Hitch Lock # e98882. view full answer...

The Thule Camber 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Rack # TH9058 referenced in your question is designed to carry 2 bikes and would work with your 2 bikes.
You will load the first bike on the cradle closest to the vehicle. You will then load the second bike onto the cradle so that the handle bars face in the opposite direction from the first bike. This is to provide the necessary clearance for the handlebars so they do not come into contact with each other. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but there are currently no custom fit trailer wiring harness options for a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV. That said, we do still have a way for you to setup the vehicle with trailer lights without splicing and that's with the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT. This kit uses sensors which clamp onto the tail light wires and don't pierce so you don't have to worry about voiding the warranty. It's a great option which can be removed when no... view full answer...
Between the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11457, and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch , # 24956, I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch for its better ground clearance.
The Draw-Tite hitch's receiver opening sits closer to the hitch cross tube. The location of the receiver will give you more ground clearance over the Curt hitch design.When installing this hitch, minor trimming of the bumper fascia is required.

I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he stated that the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch # 24956, which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, has a measurement from the ground to the top of the receiver when installed on your vehicle of 11 inches. So this will provide some more ground clearance when compared to the 7 inches for the Curt hitch that you mentioned in your question. This hitch will provide a 200 pound tongue weight capacity and no drilling will be required... view full answer...
The correct Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is part # DT64GR. This is a bolt-on hitch with a 2" receiver which can be used for towing or hauling bike racks/cargo carriers.
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24956 is for the EV, not EUV which is different. view full answer...
There is a pretty significant difference when it comes to the hitches you mentioned that fit your 2018 Chevy Bolt EV, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24956 and EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359.
As you mentioned, the Draw-Tite has a 1-1/4 inch receiver while the EcoHitch has a 2 inch receiver, but the Draw-Tite is also a Class I hitch. That is important because a Class I hitch is only compatible with Class I bike racks, while the 2 inch EcoHitch does not have those... view full answer...
Yes, the Custom Fit Kit # RR32SV is the fit kit you need for the Legs for the Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars # RRRCL4 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long # RRVA118B-2. All of these parts will fit your 2021 Chevy Bolt with flush factory rails. view full answer...
For your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4" # C11457 according to Curt's instructions requires stabilization strap # 18050 for any non-trailer load including bike racks and cargo carriers. It is one of the draw-backs to Curt trailer hitch receivers that use without that strap voids warranties. You can see in the attached installation details their requirement at the very top in bold. view full answer...
For your 2017 Chevy Bolt the Draw Tite hitch part # 24956 is a confirmed fit and would be the correct hitch for carrying a bike rack. The Saris Freedom part # SA4412B will work great in this hitch and has a 60 lb capacity.
Now if your tires are wider than 4-1/2 inches you'd need the fat tire adapter part # SA4419 otherwise it'd be good as-is without the adapter. view full answer...
We've sold quite a few of the Draw Tite hitches part # 24956 that fit your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV and we've not had the feedback like what you described. I'd be curious to know what bike racks were being used and the weight of the bikes as well. I wouldn't be shocked if the people who had sagging and swaying were overloading the rack/hitch.
Its also a good idea to use a bike rack that has an anti-rattle feature to prevent movement of the rack in the hitch tube. view full answer...
