  • How To Carry 1-1/4 Receiver Accessory with Dual Hitch Adapter
  • I have a solution for you, but to my knowledge there is not such a product available. There are dual receiver adapters that have the same size receivers on both ends, but I can't say that I've ever seen one with both a 1-1/4" and 2" receiver slot. Instead, you could use something like the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210 and pair it with the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02 to carry a 1-1/4" accessory on the top. You will have...

  • Is There a Class 2 hitch for 2020 RAV4 Hybrid
  • You can go either way you wish there. You could use a Class II like the Curt # C66KR which will be compatible with your bike rack or you could go with the more common Class III hitch part # C13416 and then use a hitch adapter like # HT02. If the only hitch accessory you'll ever use is that particular bike rack, I'd just go with the Class II. However, if you might use other hitch accessories like a Curt # C18151 cargo carrying rack or if you might upgrade your bike rack in the future, you...
