Best Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Solara with a Curt Hitch
Question:
Im looking for a bike rack that will fit my 2008 Toyota Solara convertible. Im using a Curt 1.25 hitch model # 12110. What would you recommend? Would the Kuat NV or Sherpa work? I prefer a platform configuration. Thank you for your help. Respectfully,

For your 2008 Toyota Solara that has the Curt Hitch part # C12110 the Kuat NV # NV12G would be an excellent choice. This is probably the nicest rack we offer and it would be a great choice for you. This is a platform bike rack like you said you wanted.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
Since you have a Curt hitch you will be required to also use the Stabilizer Strap part # 18050. If you don't use a strap like this on a non-supported load like a bike rack you will void the hitch's warranty. I attached a demo video that shows how to use this product.
