2-inch receiver tow hitch
Does anyone make a tow hitch with 2" receiver for Gen6 Camaro.
Planned purpose is platform bike rack for 1-3 bikes. Seems to be many more options for 2". Prefer not to resort to 1.25 --> 2" adapter. (Not looking for recommendations for 1.25" bike carrier solutions. I know they exist. I want all our cars and accessories to be 2" if possible, hence this post, thanks.)

This person had the 1-1/4” cut off and a 2” welded in place as mentioned in this post. Same duty as an 1-1/4” but has the versatility to use you existing hitch.

3 bikes is a bad idea for tongue-weight IMO. 2 bikes is the max for 1.25, the car can be had with a 1.25, but if you go over this with a 2", you are going to be putting crazy leverage forces on the structure it bolts to.
They make adapters from 1.25 to 2", but again, this is not the platform to be running a 2". This is usually a self-limiting thing, where there aren't any 3-4 bike carriers for 1.25 because if the loads it imposes. The cars like this only take 1.25 because they aren't rated for greater loads. Trying to defeat the system here is not going to have good results IMO.

I'm looking at the 2" version of this for our other car first with 2" hitch. Start out with 1 bike, add the 2nd bike add-on. The option is there for a 3rd which we may never need. Can just put 1 bike on Camaro if that is all it will take. A 1.25 to 2" adapter seems out of the question to me since it will make the load that much farther out from the attachment point. |
