Default what class is the OE trailer hitch

I'm looking to use it for hitch mounted bike rack and want to make sure it's a heavy duty hitch that can hold a carrier with 4 bikes.

I think if it will hold a ski boat and trailer it will hold four bikes. :-)

Assuming you're talking about the factory hitch, no problem. It's a Class IV hitch; 2x2 receiver, rated for up to 10,000 pounds gross. But due to vehicle design factors, Porsche specs that down to 7700 pounds towing and 616 pounds tongue weight.
