instructions say to only use with class 2 hitches (2" or 1.25). Will this fit on my 1.25 class 1 hitch?

It will "fit" your hitch. What you have to look at is the weight. All class 1 hitches are rated at 200 pounds or less tongue weight.It's not actually the hitch you would have a problem with. It is how the hitch is connected to the back of your vehicle that makes the difference. I would say if you purchase this rack and do not carry more than 2 bike's you should be fine. 3 bikes and the weight of the rack itself may be over the rated tongue weight if using cheaper heavy bikes. That puts too much stress on the connection points of your class 1 hitch and vehicle. I have a class 1 on my Golf rated at 200lbs tongue weight. I carried two 33-lb, with gear, bikes today no issue. The carrier is stated at 23-lbs. So basically 90-lbs. One more bike would be about 125-lbs. Still within my limits. Heavier bikes and the rack could surpass certain vehicle hitch recomendations..

I think so as mine has an adaptor to make it fit a 2 " so if you remove it I believe it will fit

Yes; it comes with an adaptor sleeve for 2'' or use it without the adaptor for 1 ¼"

Usually most hitches are either 2 inch or 1.25 inch. I used this extender on my camper van which has a 2 inch receiver.Just measure how big your receiver on the trailer hitch is on your vehicle. If it is 2 inch then it should work fine.

Hmm ... I don't think so mine is a 2" and it fits just right, I googled it and all I fopund was 2" compatibility http://www.thule.com/en-us/ca/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/hitch-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-vertex-swing-away-9031xt-_-1686826 Technical specifications Fits 1.25" receivers NO Fits 2" receivers YES

Yes, it's the standard pin size for a class 3 (?) hitch. Any smaller and it would probably fail when loaded. I only use mine to extend a bike rack past the bumper, however.

No, the shank between the locking head and the bend is just over 2-5/8" long - a little slack when used with a 2" receiver, but it would need to be at least 3-1/4" long to fit a 2-1/2" receiver. Amazon does offer a Class 5 locking hitch pin, though; see Trimax SXT5 Premium 5/8" Class V Extended Receiver Lock

It would fit the newer pickups with 2.5". but the older receiver Hitch is 2". you also have to have bigger pins.

No, this is only compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. Adapters are available, but keep in mind, you would be supporting the beefy 2" by a 1.25" piece and would cause the rack to be cantilevered out even further (a lot of stress on the adapter).

Yes it will fit as long as you indicate the size of the hitch when you place the order. I have the 2" hitch and I am very happy with the rack.

This is a class 3 hitch. It will use a 2"X2" square tube accesory. This item is well worth the money and only took me about 20 minutes to install. Looks and works just like OEM. Hope this helps

Yes they are also made for the newer 2.5 hitches as well but you have to order the specific one for them

I'm not sure what a class 1 hitch is so I may not be the best person to ask, but I can say that it fits my Ford Escape hitch perfectly.

I just know it fits a standard 2" hitch opening, not familiar with your specific vehicle. Sorry

There is an adapter with the rack for the 1.25 inch tow hitch. I have a bigger hitch. With my hitch I had trouble getting the rack tight. It seems to me that this would be tougher to do with the smaller hitch size. I was very fussy about having the rack tight with the hitch and used some rubber shim. That might not be necessary but it made me feel better.

Not by itself. You would need and adapter. This is for a class1 or 2 hitch.

I use it with a class two Hitch on a 2013 Nissan Rogué SL AWD. Hope that helps.

It is made to go into a standard 2" hitch. I have it for my atv. I had to get an hitch tgat goes into my 1.25 receiver on my atv and then the other side is setup for the 2" hitch.
