I’m putting a hitch on my car so I can take my bike to some state parks in the Spring. UHaul will install a 2" or 1.25" hitch with or without a “hidden crossbar”. I know little about cars and towing.
How badly will I restrict my rack choice by opting for the cheaper 1.25"? I won’t be using this for anything but bikes.
Useful to know, especially since it’s just a bare bones Subaru Impreza and not some kind of vehicle intended for towing. I looked into roof racks, but even with the lightest ebike my money could buy, I’d rather not repeat that lift all summer long!
I do want to be safe about this and do not want to risk my bike going through someone’s windshield.
