Carrying 4 Bikes on 2011 Toyota Corolla
Question:
Corolla 2011 the hitch for this I can used for my racks for my 4 bicycle
asked by: Jesús L
Expert Reply:
The Curt Class I hitch, part # C11265 is a fit for a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The bike rack and hitch manufacturers all agree that no more than 2 bikes should be carried on a Class I hitch. Adding a third and fourth bike will apply too much leverage to the hitch, damaging the hitch of its attachment points to the vehicle.
The most cost effective way to carry 4 bikes would be to use a 3 bike trunk mount rack like the Saris Guardian, part # SAR43FR and carrying the fourth bike on the roof after installing a roof rack like # SR1002 along with a bike rack like # TH598004.
I've linked to product demonstration and install videos for the products I recommended.
