Hey Danny, so the Thule T2 XTR bike rack part # TH69TX weighs 96 lbs (lets just call it 100) and then it has a 160 lb weight capacity so at most it would weigh 260 lbs. So since basically all 2 inch hitches have at least a 350 lb tongue weight capacity you wouldn't need to get too worried about that aspect of the hitch.
For that I really like the Curt hitch part # C47HR for 2024 Subaru Forester as it has the needed capacity and also has a mostly hidden appearance since only the hitch... view full answer...
Hi Scott; there are not any non-flush hitch locks for a 1-1/4" hitch (1/2" diameter) that can be keyed alike. Just the one you found which is indeed the flush design, the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches # e98879. view full answer...
Yes we do! We actually came up with our own install kit specifically for this purpose, the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This will come with everything needed to take the existing 4-flat plug and upgrade it to a 7-way. It will also include all of the necessary wires for an electric trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED52VR.
I have linked install videos for the # ETBC7 kit and the Redarc brake controller below if you want to take a look. view full answer...
