- Can A Bike Rack Be Installed Using Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # C11202 On 2009 Nissan Cube
- A bike rack can be installed on the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # C11202 on your 2009 Nissan Cube, but you will have to be sure that the bike rack is made to fit a Class I hitch. Because of the lower tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. on a Class I hitch you will also be limited to only 2 bikes on the bike rack. Some of the Class I compatible bike racks are listed as 3 bike and 4 bike racks, but if you look at the description of the bike rack it will say limited to 2 bikes only on...

These trailer hitches are limited to carrying 2 bikes due to the low tongue weight capacities of both the trailer hitch and the vehicle on which the hitch is installed. As more bikes are installed on a hitch mount rack, the weight of the bikes is moved further away from the hitch, increasing...

- You have to address two separate issues in order to get you a rack that fits your vehicle. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler will have a spare tire on the rear that protrudes further than the hitch receiver. Due to this, there is a chance that you will need a hitch extender to provide the necessary clearance for that spare tire.
