Trailer hitch for sedan?

Has anyone installed a trailer hitch on a sedan? I’m looking to use a platform bike rack.

Thank you Janster.

Stealth Hitches site lists : fits Xx - 2020 E 450 AT.

Any reason it won’t work on 2021?
Did you get 2” version?

Does rack fold down into 2 trays?
Solid bike clamps??
Weight max per tray? One bike on a tray.
Weight max for two bikes?

Looks very solid!

I am not sure why 2021 would not be listed. Just email Stealth Hitch, they were really responsive when I had some questions before buying their product.
The Thule rack is nice and one of the lightest ones. I only carry mountain bikes on it. I did have an issue with one of the arms locking mechanism, but Thule replaced it without any questions. I have been very happy with their support. https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rac...-xt-2-_-904011

The best tray rack is probably 1Up - https://www.1up-usa.com/product-category/bike-racks/
Everyone I know that has one loves theirs. Parts are replaceable. Solid build. You can easily go from 1-bike up to 4-bikes.
Also, the rack ramps up away from the car, giving more ground clearance.

Good luck.

It's to pull out by hand, but then you can never say that there was a tow bar. Also using Thule bike rack for 4 bikes (that was the main reason why I got it). Please keep in mind that you will have to do lots of coding for it to work.
