What Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan?
Question:
Your website is great! I need provisions for 2 e-bikes that will weigh about 85 pounds total. Im thinking of the etrailer hitch #e43ZR, combined with the Curt bike rack C18085. Sound like a winning combination?

Thanks for your kind words about etrailer.com! I have a great solution for you. If you are looking for a great bike rack for bikes that weigh a total of 85 pounds (not 85 pounds individually), the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085 is a great choice as long as none of your two bikes exceed 45 pounds individually.
As with all hitch receivers, I recommend confirming with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your 2018 Tiguan can handle the combined weight of all accessories/bikes.
