What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about rack weight: the specifications say 33 pounds, while manufacturer copy says 29lbs. The title lists 2" and 1.25" hitch sizes, and customer feedback mentions both, but the technical details only identify Hitch. Confirm the receiver size and vehicle compatibility for the selected listing. The advertised 110 lb maximum is stated as up to 55 lb per bike.
