From my research, I found that your maximum towing capacity for your 2007 Toyota Corolla S is 1,500 pounds. This is the amount of weight that your vehicle can tow horizontally out of your rear hitch receiver. As far as a the amount of tongue capacity, your vehicle has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. This is the amount of weight that your vehicle can take vertically on your hitch. However, in order to know for sure, I recommend consulting with your owner's manual for the vehicle. You will get the firm capacities listed there.

If you are thinking about using the Swagman XP - Folding 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64960, you will have a has a per-bike weight capacity of 35lbs with a total weight limit of 100lbs. Since the weight capacity for the XP is smaller than the tongue weight capacity for your vehicle, you will need to adhere to the 100-pound capacity of the rack.

If you need a hitch receiver recommendation on your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11265. The Curt trailer hitch has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds, so you will have enough tongue weight to mount the XP and your bikes. Also, since the distance between the center pinhole to the outside of your rear bumper measures 5-1/4 inches with the hitch installed, you will have enough shank length on the XP to clear your bumper.
