There is an excellent bike rack that goes on a trailer hitch, but if that's all you need, the wagon's top rails take two dedicated cross bars
(about $100/set) that in turn can easily take 3 upright bikes and much more (220 lbs). That's much simpler, as the hitch install is at least a couple of hours, and some disagree as to whether the draw-tite preserves the rear collapsible structure for a crash while the Saab hitch, more work to install, does. For the SAAB hitch you have to drop the bumper and drill some holes.
For just 3 bikes, you don't need a hitch, and the hitch bike rack also keeps the rear door from opening without moving the bikes.
