I’m looking to install a bike rack on the back of the car but understand that I need to install a hitch receiver. Does anyone have any experience with this or pictures of what it ends up looking like? I just looked at the back of my car and honestly am so new at this, I have no idea where it would go. I looked at the Curt hitch receiver and found one that says it’s compatible.

That being said, does anyone have any recommendations for setups?

## not an endorsement or recommendation ... just something I've seen .... I don't have a hitch on mine .... I've bought other stuff from Outmotoring and they are good folks IMO

 

After considering doing the same thing, I decided to put my bike on top. It makes it harder to reach, of course, so, I take a small step-ladder with me on my bike trips. This way, it's no longer an expensive "bumper", it's not as easy for a nefarious tinkering to occur, and I don't have to worry with lifting the hatch or interference with the parking sensors.

If you do go with a hitch, check to see if you have to bend/tweak heat shield under there...some say you have to mangle them a bit to get the hitch to fit.
