Expert Reply:

If you'll be using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory only, the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24857 would be a good choice.

If you're using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack, you'll need to make sure your bike rack is compatible with a Class I hitch, and that you're carrying no more than two bikes. If you're planning on doing some light duty towing, be sure that the weight of the trailer doesn't exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle or the hitch.

I'll include a link to the installation instructions for you. You can look them over and decide if the installation is something you'd feel comfortable attempting yourself. I don't have any photos or video footage of the installation.

If you'll be towing, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system:

• A ball mount, part # 3593
• Trailer wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector, part # C59496
• 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256
• 2 inch trailer ball, part # 19258
• Locking hitch pin, part # e98879
