Is 4-Bike Thule T2 Classic Compatible with 2" Hitch Receivers on 2006 and 2016 Toyota Highlander

Question:

We have both a 2006 and 2016 Toyota Highlander and have a 2 inch hitch on both, and are looking for a sturdy, platform bike rack which can switch easily from 2 to 4 bicycles. Will this only fit our 2016 Highlander? Thank you.

Since both your 2006 and 2016 Toyota Highlander have 2" trailer hitches you can definitely use the Thule T2 Classic 4 Bike Platform Rack # TH9044-TH9046 with both vehicles. Just be mindful that the T2 Classic weighs in at 50 lbs and has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity but then when the add-on is installed it weighs in at 85 lbs and has a weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike.

This rack comes with a lock for the bike rack but if you'd like to add locks for the bikes then you can add the lock core kit # TH450400.
