Hitch Pin Holes on Draw-Tite Hitch Do Not Line Up

Question:

Hi, I have a 76112 Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Rear Class III installed on my 2016 Toyota. I just put on a 1up bike rack and am trying to put on the hitch pin lock but the holes on the hitch does not line up with the bike rack. Is the hitch holes not in the right position?

The Draw-Tite hitch has one set of holes for your hitch pin to go through. There is an extra hole on one side in case you decide to use the optional Tow Ready # 63201 J-pin lock set and anti-rattle device instead of a standard hitch pin. While I am not right there to see the issue, I suppose it is also possible that your bike rack has a 1-1/4" square shaft that you are trying to put in a 2" receiver. Most 1-1/4" bike racks come with an adapter for 2" receivers. If yours does not you could use the Curt # C45770 adapter.
