Hitch Bike Rack that Will fit 2016 Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander

Question:

Hi, I have a 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I wanted to get hitch for it to attach a bike rack. I only see 1 1/4 inch hitches when I do a search on your site. My other car, a Highlander, has a 2 inch receiver and bike rack. Is there some way to get a 2inch receiver on my Camry?

For your 2016 Toyota Camry there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 36540 as 2 inch hitches are commonly used on vehicles with higher capacities like trucks and SUVs.

I do have a great solution though. We carry bike racks that come with adapters which allow them to be installed on both hitch sizes.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit both hitch sizes 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 womens 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.
