Hitch Recommendation for a Thule T2 Bike Rack on 2008 Honda Civic Coupe
Question:
I am trying to decide which hitch will work better with the Thule T2 platform bike rack on my 2008 Honda Civic EX Coupe. Does the Draw Tight have enough clearance for the rack to fold up without hitting the bumper? If not, which brand would you recommend?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule T2 # TH69TX would work great with the Curt # C11391. If you check out the picture, I attached you will see that the Curt Hitch part # C11391 will actually stick out past the bumper so it would work well for you with your T2 rack.
Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when using a non-supported accessory like a bike rack in this hitch. Failure to use this will void the warranty of the hitch.
