Recommended Bike Rack for Use with Towing a Trailer
Question:
Do they make a bike rack that will fit into a 2inch receiver and also has a receiver to pull a trailer?

For a bike rack that is designed for use when towing a trailer, I recommend looking at the Swagman Traveler XCS # S64664. This platform rack will allow you to transport 2 bikes and will actually install by fitting over a 2 inch square ball mount. With the bike rack attached to the ball mount shank, you will still have full access to the hitch ball for easy hookup with your trailer.
I have attached a video demonstration on this bike rack so you can see exactly how it works. I have also attached a link that will take you to our available selection of towing bike racks that use this similar setup. You will just want to make sure that the combined tongue weight of the bike rack and trailer do not exceed the capacity of your hitch or vehicle.
We do not currently have a bike rack available that features an additional receiver for use with a ball mount or other accessory.
