Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Kia Rio Sedan

Question:

Which option is best? I see a few hitches on this page and am not sure which to choose. I want to use this for a bike rack. Will it drag on the ground at all? The car is pretty low.

The best hitch for your 2012 Kia Rio for carrying a bike rack will be the Draw Tite hitch part # 24884. It doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does and doesn't have an included ball mount like the Hidden Hitch does.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
