Will the Thule X2 Pro XTR Work on a Class I Hitch?

Expert Reply:

I have a great solution for you. Since Class I hitches only come with a hitch receiver of 1-1/4 inches, the Thule T2 Pro XTR will not fit a Class I hitch. The reason why it won't fit is because the Thule Pro XTR is only made for 2-inch hitch receivers, which come with a rating of Class III, Class IV, and Class V. All of the different classes have different weight ratings that they can hold safely.

With that being said, if you want a similar rack to the Thule Pro XTR that will fit a Class I hitch, I recommend the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F. The SuperClamp will fit a 1-1/4 (Class I) hitch and uses the same wheel-mounting securing system as the T2 Pro XTR. The SuperClamp also comes with a stainless steel clamping lock that secures your bikes to the rack.

If you need a hitch receiver for your vehicle, I would be happy to assist you in making a recommendation.
