The best 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch we offer for your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica for carrying bike racks is the Draw Tite part # 36798 because unlike other options this hitch does not require a stabilizer strap to carry bike racks and also because it has a concealed crosstube which means it will be a bit less visible.

I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.

This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
