• Availability of a 2-Inch Hitch Receiver for the 2014 Chevrolet Volt for Use With a 2-Inch Bike Rack
• The Curt Class I Hitch Receiver for the 2014 Chevrolet Volt, part # C11221, is the only hitch offered for your vehicle. This hitch has a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening and has a rated tongue weight capacity (the downward force on the hitch) of 200-lbs. A Class I hitch can carry only 2 bikes.

• Availability of 2 Inch Receiver for 2012 Chevy Volt
• The Curt Class I hitch you mentioned, part # C11221 is for a 2011-2014 Chevy Volt. Due to the small size of the vehicle and the structure of the rear of the vehicle, there is only a Class I hitch with the 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch receiver opening available. A 2 inch receiver is unfortunately not available. Since the vehicle would use a Class I hitch, the best practice would be to use a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier that is Class I compatible (see link). Using...
