Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Hyundai Elantra
Question:
I want to get a platform bike rack for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra - I am told I need a 1 1/4 hitch. Could you please tell me what exactly this item is? I see so many choices, surely I dont need the huge ones for pulling boats etc, what am I looking for? Thanks.

First let's get you set up with the correct hitch. You'd want to go with the DrawTite # 24902 if you have a sedan or coupe. If you have a GT Hatchback you'd want the part # 24905.
For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR.
This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight.
