A bike rack with 220 pounds on the hitch receiver is much more stressful than a trailer with a tongue weigh of 220 pounds. I use at tie down strap to hold the rack toward the truck tailgate to prevent the bikes from applying a torsion back stress. The hitch is design for in out and weight down force. The side to side swaying of the bikes will put a twist stress on the hitch receiver that it was not design for.
All I see is it is more stressful for you.
