The EcoHitch # 306-X7273 is a fit for your Honda Fit, and has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, which means that the hitch would easily accommodate the weight of the bike rack plus all the bikes loaded upon it. The Swagman Quad 2+2 is a great product that wouldn't require anything else. Even the anti-rattle hitch lock is included.
