Yakima racks are made in either Taiwan or China. The cargo boxes are made in the USA in Southern California.
All of the Thule 4 bike racks are made in the U.S.A., but there are no Thule 4-bike racks designed for campers that can withstand the extra torque. view full answer...
If a product is made in the USA we identify that by putting Made in the USA under the features of the product, which the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HR1400Z does not have.
For a 4-bike, hitch mounted bike rack that can accommodate a children's bike and is Made in the USA, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # SA4414B. The rack has cradles which adjust independently along its mast to hold bikes of different sizes, which is why it works for both adult and kids'... view full answer...
I checked with the manufacturer for you and the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 weighs 12 lbs.
This hitch fits 4" x 4" square bumpers and while there is technically not a built-in security measure to keep someone from taking the hitch, it does get torqued down tightly to your bumper as you can see in the linked instructions, so it would be quite a bit of work to take it.
Additionally, if you were using a bike rack such as the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # TH9057 or... view full answer...

I confirmed with Swagman that the Chinook Bike Rack # S64683 is manufactured/assembled in Taiwan. If you are looking for a platform hitch bike rack that is manufactured and assembled in the U.S., I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B or the # SA4412B-FB (with the additional fat bike cradles - up to 5" tires). The Freedom has a 60-pound bike capacity and includes sliding wheel trays let you carry bikes with different wheelbases. Also, the Freedom... view full answer...
I called and spoke with my contact at Kuat. He stated that the Bike Rack Hitch Lock for 1-1/4 Inch Racks, # HL1, is made of stainless steel. That would include the 5/16 inch diameter pin and the lock itself. There are no plastic pieces on the lock or pin. The lock will fit the Kuat Alpha, Beta, Sherpa and NV 1-1/4 inch bike racks. view full answer...
The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV is a great bike rack option. It's made with a powder coat, so it will resist rust and will be a great choice for your West Coast weather.
This rack is compatible with wheels from 20 inches to 29 inches. Most 15 inch frames have 24 inch wheels so you shouldn't have a problem, but you will want to measure the tire diameter to make sure.
You do not need to use any grease for hitch connection. The shank will easily install and then you... view full answer...
The Curt 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18030 you were looking at is made in the USA with the exception of some of the hardware is imported from other countries.
The Curt # C18030 is a great option since it works with 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch receivers, and has a weight capacity of 45lbs per bike. The rack also features anti sway cradles to prevent your bikes from moving around when on the road, and the tilting function allows you to access the rear cargo area of your vehicle... view full answer...
You will find that opening a tail gate all the way is just not possible with a hitch mounted bike carrier on a pickup truck. Since the tail gate extends so fat beyond the bumper when opened it would require a bike carrier to almost lay flat.
Using any adapter or extension in your trailer hitch will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent.
An adapter like part # 80300 would extend the hitch and possibly give you the clearance you need for your Kuat bike carrier. This extension... view full answer...

The 1-1/4 inch part of the shank on Curt bike rack # C18030 is steel. The sleeve to adapt the rack to fit a 2 inch hitch is plastic. The other option would be to use a steel reducer sleeve in a 2 inch hitch, # HT02, and then not use the plastic adapter. view full answer...

Installing the Draw-Tite Class I trailer hitch, # 24776, on your 2008 Honda Fit should not void the vehicle warranty, as long as it is not determined that the hitch itself caused the issue you are taking the vehicle in for service for.
Your warranty is protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, which states in part that unless the modification to your vehicle caused the problem your warranty must be honored. This being said you will need to use common sense precautions when... view full answer...
The Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Rack - Platform Style - Tilting - 2" Hitches # Y02443-2 has a weight of 98 lbs without bikes on it. The two parts weigh 49 lbs each so you can use the HoldUp2 bike alone at that weight or add the additional 2 bikes at 49 lbs additional carrier weight.
When combined the rack has a total weight capacity of 200 lbs total with an individual bike weight maximum of 60 lbs.
With all the packaging the shipping weight is 114 lbs. view full answer...
The shipping weight on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76209 is 37 lbs. If you are planning on towing or carrying a bike rack, I would be happy to recommend a bike rack, trailer wiring, ball mount, and tow ball if you can let me know how you intend to use your hitch.
Included is an installation video for this hitch on a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. view full answer...

The hitch tube of the Curt hitch part # C11405 that you referenced is totally open all the way through.
You may also be referring to the weld stop that some Class I hitches install in the tube to prevent the use of Class II accessories in them. Curt hitches do not have that.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well. view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch, part # C11391, is made in the USA and includes a pin and clip. Note that if used with any non-trailer load, say a bike rack or cargo carrier, Curt requires you to use their stabilizing strap # 18050 which is not a requirement for the Draw-Tite.

The Rhino-Rack 2 Bike Rack part # RRRBC045 is made overseas. Instead, I recommend the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 which is made in the USA and is actually one of our best sellers. view full answer...
