Bike Rack Weight Capacity for Curt Hitch that Fits 2018 Ford Focus
Question:
Hi, I have a Focus hatchback and want to mount a bike rack via a class 1 hitch and carry a couple of fat tire bikes. What weight is the receiver able to carry? The bikes and rack in question are probably 175 pounds total. They will only be carried short distances about 4 miles and not over rough terrain or up gnarly hills. Im aware nobody is going to suggest I put 175 pounds off the back of my Focus but I will be the only passenger and there will be no other cargo in the car. Thanks for the help,

Expert Reply:
The Curt hitch part # C11158 that fits your 2018 Ford Focus has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs which means between the weight of your bike and bike rack you'd be limited to 200 lbs. So 175 lbs like what you mentioned having between the bike and bike rack would be just fine.
