I had the "factory installed" bike rack hitch on ours. It removed itself and then impaled the rear of the rig when it made contact with a driveway incline due to very bad welding practices. The 'installer" merely put a series of cold tack spots instead of putting a proper bead. You are better off going after market. Keep in mind that this style of rack will be subject to a lot of stress due to the design as it wobbles from every bump on the road. The bikes are on the equivalent of a lever hanging off of the hitch and it's a light duty system.
