Will the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR Fit on a Hitch for My 2017 Toyota Carolla?
Question:
Hello, I am inquiring about the abovementioned bike rack. I have a Toyota Corolla SE 2017 and Im wondering this this rack can be installed on my car? In addition, Im told that Ill probably need a receiver hitch as well, but Im having trouble distinguishing between the difference classes. Could you please recommend me one? Thank you!

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, unless you have a 2-inch hitch already installed on your 2017 Toyota Corolla, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU84FR will not fit on your vehicle. Here at etrailer, we only carry customized 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Toyota Corolla.
However, a great solution is to buy the version of the Transfer V2 that also fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver: # KU74FR. The # KU74FR has a decreased per-bike weight capacity (40 pounds) compared to its sibling (60 pounds). However, it still comes with the same durability and wheel-mounted securing system as the # KU84FR.
For a trailer hitch recommendation for your vehicle that will fit the # KU74FR, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11265. The Curt Trailer Hitch comes with all hardware needed for an easy, bolt-on installation. The Curt Trailer Hitch receiver has enough tongue weight capacity (200 pounds) to safely transport the # KU74FR with mounted bikes.
