Why this product
This 1.25" receiver version of the Arcos platform opens up Thule's rear-mount cargo system to smaller vehicles with Class I hitches. At 37.5 lbs with tilt-away design and Thule One-Key lock, it's well thought out. The downside? The 1.25" receiver means lower tongue weight limits, which restricts how much you can actually carry compared to the 2" version.
