Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Toyota Corolla
Question:
Hi ! I buyed from you a yakima hold up -2 2inches for my tacoma and the tucson of my daughter. Now I am evaluating to install a curt hitch code c11265 to my corolla. The question is : If I buy the yakima - part code Y8890278 it will be compatible to the curt - hitch of the corolla ?

Expert Reply:
The shank you mentioned is for the Yakima Holdup part # Y02445 which is for Class II hitches only. All of the hitches for your 2003 Toyota Corolla are Class I so there is no way to get that rack to fit your vehicle.
It would be time for a new rack for the Corolla that is compatible with the Class I hitch like the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670.
The hitch I would recommend is the Draw Tite part # 24913 as it has a better price and does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does with bike racks.
