Even though you will never use the weight limit of a class 3 hitch, there are so many accessories that conveniently fit the class 3 receiver. Aside from the standard drawbar/ ball hitches, there are cargo shelves that just plug in. Also bicycle carriers. My neighbor has a SUV with a class 3 hitch. was watching him trying to mount a bicycle carrier without scratching anything. I recommended the hitch-carrier to him, which he got and was very thankful.
The down side of a class 3 is that sometimes, depending on your vehicle specifics, you may have to loose the full size spare tire and go for a space saver. Whatever works best for you. Oppie
