Question about rear 1.25" hitch

   Just picked up a 2020 Model 172.  Rear hitch says 150 lb limit.  I have a HEAVY bike rack that weighs 37 lb alone, and would be adding about 50 lbs for 2 bikes.  This would total say 90 lbs. on the hitch.
I could get a crappy/cheap harbor freight bike rack that only weighs like 10 lbs, reducing the weight to probably 60 lbs. overall.

So, is 90 lbs on that hitch a problem?
