Recommended Hitch Bike Rack to Transport Fat Bike and Hybrid Bike with 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350
Question:
I am thinking about purchasing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2010 Mercedes E350 sedan. I am wondering which 2-bike hitch rack would be appropriate for a fat bike with 4inch tires and a hybrid bike. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11001 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan. This will provide a 200 pound tongue weight capacity and will require some drilling into the bumper beam during installation. Also note that Curt requires that all non-trailer loads such as bike racks or cargo carriers be supported with stabilizing straps like # 18050. Failure to do this will void the hitch's warranty.
When choosing a bike rack, you will want to make sure it is compatible with Class I trailer hitches. To transport your fat bike and hybrid bike, I recommend looking at the Curt 2-Bike Rack # C18085-FB.
