Hitch & Bike Rack For Two Electric Bikes on 2019 GMC Acadia

Question:

Wondering if receiver that came on the 2019 Acadia will support a bike rack and 2 E- bikes. This receiver is by no means heavy duty. Small size bolted to rear of frame. Total weight should be no more than approx. 300 lbs.

From what I could find in the owner's manual of a 2019 GMC Acadia, the maximum tongue weight is 100 lbs for all models except the 3.6L with the V92 heavy duty towing package; if you have that the maximum tongue weight is 400 lbs. We don't offer OEM parts so I can't tell you exactly what the hitch ratings are, and GM doesn't offer those specs.

What you can do to be sure is replace your hitch with one that does have the necessary ratings for a bike rack and two ebikes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13293.

This hitch has a 750 lb tongue weight rating so it's more than enough for a rack and two ebikes. For example, you could max out the 80 lbs per-bike and 54 lb weight of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR.
