While the Curt Wall Mount for 2" Hitch Accessories # C97DR is rated for 350 lbs, I don't see loading bikes on the bike rack for storage as a great idea since the bikes will be sitting further out and placing more stress on the wall mount - my contact at Curt agreed with me on this when I reached out to him.
For your application I recommend using the Curt Wall Mount # C97DR for your bike rack and then the Feedback Sports Velo Hinge Bike Storage Rack # 301-16724 for any bikes. The Velo Hinge... view full answer...

The 150 lb limit does apply to any accessory attached to the trailer hitch on your 2006 CR-V. The weight you place in the hitch includes the carrier as well as the cargo in the carrier.
The bike rack you asked the question from is the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. This bike carrier weighs about 40 lbs so that weight needs to be added to the bike weight when carrying it in the trailer hitch.

On Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24920 and all of the hitches for the 2015 Honda Fit the receiver will be directly below the rear fascia. So if you measure from the bottom most part of the fascia down to the ground and subtract 1-3/4 inches that will be the approximate ground clearance measurement once the hitch is installed.
On smaller vehicles that are low to the ground to start with, adding a trailer hitch usually reduces ground clearance so you have to keep that in mind when choosing accessories.... view full answer...

I have included a picture showing Curt trailer hitch # C11354 installed. As you can see the top of the receiver is about an inch or so from the bottom of the rear fascia. The bottom of the receiver then is another 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inches below that. Your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible already sits pretty low leaving not much room for a hitch. While I don't have an exact measurement of the ground clearance the picture certainly tells the tale.

Trailer hitch # C11240 is for sedan models of the 2014 Chevy Sonic. For your hatchback I recommend # 24878.

That means from the ground to the bottom of the receiver is approximately 8-1/2 inches, which isn't much.
None of the customers who have reviewed this hitch have indicated any problems with scraping the ground. this is likely due to the short distance between the hitch and the rear... view full answer...
Hitch adapters can be a convenient way to join accessories of different sizes, such as allowing use of a 2-inch hitch bike rack or towing ball mount in a smaller 1-1/4-inch hitch. An example of such an item is the Curt # C45785.
The "dark side" of hitch adapters like these is that they also unavoidably reduce your hitch's capacity by 50-percent because they move the actual load that is on the hitch further away. This greater distance translates into more leverage applied to the hitch... view full answer...
If your 2016 Volkswagen Passat SE has a towing capacity it would be listed in the vehicle owner's manual. Volkswagen used to provide access to the owner's manuals online but now in order to view the manual online you have to put in a valid VIN for that vehicle.
