Question:
Hello, I have a honda fit 2007 with a spoiler and I would like to know which is the best 3 or 4 bike racks. Also, is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4inch will work with the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches? Thanks for your help.

I have a solution for you, however the Draw Tite SportFrame Class I, part # 24776 is only compatible with 2 bike racks. These Class I hitches can only handle weight within certain distances from the vehicle, and risk damage or failure if used with more than 2 bikes, even if you have a 3 or 4 bike rack equipped on the hitch.
Instead, I recommend the Swagman Titan 2 Bike rack, part # S63400. This hanging rack is compatible with the 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch and includes an integrated bike lock for added security. This rack is an economical choice that includes a lot of features that more expensive racks have, like anti-sway cradles and anti rattle. Its also extremely light, making install and removal easy.
