Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Question:
Greetings- We have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Minivan Hybrid. We want to purchase a hitch and bike trailer for 4 bikes. Which hitch will work? I looked at one, but it says it excludes fitting the hybrid. Thank you!

I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76046-SK for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid because it's the only Class III hitch with a 2" receiver for the Hybrid model that has a hidden crosstube. This means that you'll have better ground clearance, not to mention the hitch itself will look better. We haven't had a chance to install this on a Hybrid yet but I'm linking the installation instructions and a video we shot of this on a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica (non Hybrid) that you can check out.
For a bike rack I recommend the Thule Apex XT which is available with # TH9027XT or without # TH9025XT the swinging arm. The arm just means that you will be able to fully access your rear hatch area without removing any of your bikes.
I have attached review videos of both versions for you to check out.
