just a quick question...i'm interested in purchasing a 2002 escape, and i need to know if the hitch is capable of carrying my 4 bikes. the carrier and bikes together will weigh more than 100 pounds, can the escape handle it?
NO !i have a 1.25 inch carrier. still work?
All of the bicycle carriers that I have seen "plug into" either a 1.25" or 2" receiver. I have never seen a Class 1 hitch that uses a receiver.Attaching bikes to a hitch is a big difference from actual towing. You don't go by the gross tow weight. You go by tongue weight. Class 1 hitch is a 200 lb tongue weight hitch. I wouldn't suggest placing 4 bikes on that hitch...
