Recommended Class I Hitch and Compatible Platform Rack for 2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited

Question:

The Drawtite #24902talks about only using Class 1accessories. I am only using the hitch to transport 2 bikes. In buying a platform rack, what does that Class 1 mean in regards to the hitch?

Oftentimes Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite # 24902 have a tab in them to keep users from using accessories that are not rated for Class I hitches in them. You would need to use a platform rack that is rated for use in a Class I hitch like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z in this (or any) Class I hitch, so that's something to be mindful of when shopping for a rack.

I've linked a review video of the Trail Rider, as well as our entire selection of platform racks compatible with Class I hitches for you to have a look at.
