• Carrying 4 Bikes on 2011 Toyota Corolla
  The Curt Class I hitch, part # C11265 is a fit for a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The bike rack and hitch manufacturers all agree that no more than 2 bikes should be carried on a Class I hitch.

• Why is the Hollywood Express 3 not suitable for a 2014 Hyundai Accent?
  It doesn't look like the Hollywood Racks Express 3 is designed to fit your 2014 Hyundai Accent and while it isn't a truly universal fit, it does fit a large number of small passenger cars. As with most things there are certain ways that you might be able to make it work, but it's probably ill-advised and would void any type of warranties or protections that Hollywood Racks may offer in the event of your bikes being damaged during transport. Since the rack may slip out of place while carrying...
