Is My 2" Hitch on My Mitsubishi Outlander Rated High Enough to Use the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202?

Question:

I have a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with a 2 inch hitch. Will the Easy Fold t bike racks weight hold with my car? Thank you in advance for your advise.

Without knowing the year of your Mitshubishi Outlander Sport, it truly depends on the weight capacity of your hitch. Almost all 2" hitches can accommodate the 45 pound weight of the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 along with 2 bikes that individually weigh 65 pounds. Although, it never hurts to check the maximum tongue weight rating of the hitch just to make sure. Most of the time, this rating is listed on the hitch itself on a sticker.

One additional thing to also check is the length from the center of the hitch pinhole the outside face of your rear bumper. You want to make sure that this measurement does not exceed 8 inches in order to avoid any bumper clearance issues when using the EasyFold XT # TH903202.
