Hitch for Bike Rack

I visited a local trailer hitch company in Atlanta looking for a hitch that will support a 1 and 1/4 inch receiver hitch bike rack (like one from Saris). There is now a hitch recommended for the EX35 made by Curt Manufacturing, Model or part # 11500 at a cost of $176.00 and a one hour installation time. Installation instructions are included with the specs. No welding, but two holes will need to be drilled.

Thanks for the information! We weren't able to get the roof rack on our EX35, but a hitch for our bikes will be great. Plus it will be cheaper than the rails, assuming $180 for the hitch and $45 for 1 hr install.

Wouldn't you still need to buy the bike rack that connects to the hitch?

Yes, the bike rack is another cost.

I just ordered a Curt Class one hitch from drawtite-hitches.com for $139 and a Swagman XC 1.25" bike carrier for $130. This has free shipping. I plan on having them price match the carrier to $115 from overstock.com. I got a quote from a bodyshop who quoted me about $75-100 for installation after I sent the PDF install intructions. This is ~$350 for everything.

I didn't find an EX35 with the $200 roof rails and features we wanted. A pair of bike carrier crossbars would set me back ~$200. So this setup would total ~$400.
