Just thought I'd share in case anyone was curious about this and wondering about adding a rack/bike. I installed the QuikrStuff Mach 2 bike rack after adding the hitch receiver to my Gravity. Both adding the receiver and installing the Mach 2 rack were super easy and tool-less. Both take less than 20 minutes to install out of the box.
It's my first time adding/driving with a bike on the back, so I was a little nervous. But the Mach2 really lets you get the bike very stable and locked in, so very little bounce or movement, even with my fat tire e-bike, which is on the heavier side. (I'm right near the max limit of ~118 pounds with the rack (30ish) and bike (80ish.) I put handlebars down and bungied them to keep compact.
With the bike on, you have to go into settings and change: DreamDrive-Rear Attachment Optimization. So DD worked fine for highway driving, lane centering, etc without issues. However, every auto-lane change would trigger a warning and I usually had to "push" it into the next lane a bit before it took hold of the new lane/lines. Kinda annoying...I actually just started manually lane changing. Not a huge deal.
Like most racks, it does unlock and fold down with the bike on the rack to allow you to open the back hatch. It also folds up if no bike; the hatch will open fine and there are also no issues or warnings with DreamDrive lane changes, etc.
Overall, great setup for the Gravity.
