Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Honda Fit Sport

Question

Question:

Im looking for a hitch receiver for a 2013 Honda Fit Sport. I thought at one time Hidden Hitch made a product for this car. But it doesnt show up in my search query. Does Hidden Hitch make a receiver for this year of the Honda Fit? Thanks!

For your 2013 Honda Fit Sport EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7286 which is a confirmed fit.

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.

To carry three bikes on your 2013 Honda Fit, you need a special Class III hitch receiver like the EcoHitch #306-X7286. This one is a little bit pricier and harder to install, but it allows you to carry more bikes and has a 2" hitch receiver.…

I attached a link to a page that shows where you can find a local installer to you for the EcoHitch part #306-X7286. The hitch would probably take two hours to install so you'd be looking at two shop hours at the rate of the installers.

The Reese Cargo Carrier #63155 you referenced weighs 42 lbs; however, this carrier will only fit a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch if it is a Class II hitch. This is important because the trailer hitches that fit your 2013 Honda Fit are either Class I…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
