So for towing there is a hitch slot that's inline with where it mounts to your vehicle. That hitch is rated for 10,000lbs which is about 2500 more than what my Tahoe is rated for. I will say that with a 75lb tire, ~45lb bike rack, and 37lb bike there is a little bit of wobble but nothing that is concerning. I'm sure most of that is from my bike rack itself anyways
