Just need a receiver for my bike rack. I have no desire to tow anything.

I would not mind being able to tow a kayak trailer, could avoid the need for a roof rack option if I could tow a small boat trailer.

I'm trying to find out which EV can have a bar on the back that is Class 2 at least for a motorized wheelchair and it has been near impossible with how everyone has written the manuals. I'm thinking the MME might be my best bet due to how it is set up in EU.

Neither my Honda Ridgeline nor a Mach-E can tow my 6500# boat so I will continue to not own a trailer. Looks like that Lighting F-150 can though so I might need one of those.

A hitch for a bicycle rack would be nice but will not tow anything. Roof bars would also be nice.

There is a custom hitch manufacturer near Atlanta that is considering creating a trailer hitch for the MME. They are interested, but question what the demand might be. I thought this poll might help them gauge the interest level.

Not sure if they are still interested but I would like a Class 2 hitch with 1.25" opening since it will be slimmer profile & lighter just for my bike rack. Haven't seen any class 2 available. Also feel free to DM me and I can contact manufacturer myself. Thanks!

Like most of the replies here, I need the tow hitch for a bike rack.

Yes for a bike rack, although I have no need to tow anything. Oh wait…

Sorry I won't be able to help anyone in this thread who has already had a hitch installed. But for anyone else reading, my work may help you.

I definitely need a hitch. I have a small trailer that I use to carry garage stuff or project stuff and garden stuff. I'm always working on some project, like sodding the yard and carrying sod or soil or a fee sheets of drywall or plywood. Before I buy a car the first thing I look for if I can get a hitch for it, I usually only buy the oem factory option with wiring harness to I don't want some aftermarket thing to fry the car.

I put the Torklift hitch on my car. I love it. I don't tow - I just use it for my bike rack.

I understand and also prefer the OEM option.

Here's my thread... 4,700 miles towing this teardrop so far, from Western Colorado to Maine, more to come. Enjoy!

Hitch and install by Uhaul for under $300, can't remember for sure, I didn't get the wiring.

Draw Tite Hidden Hitch part #76919. The receiver is removable from the hitch so it’s completely invisible when not in use.

I'm just concerned that ford will say that I damaged xyz cause I overloaded xyz cause I was towing and this car is not approved for towing. When I bought my mme I had a grand cherokee summit too and I was planning on keeping it but the more I got used to driving the mme the more having a ice car bothered me so I sold it and then I ran into no hitch problem.
