We have found this rack to be quite useful on many applications, including swing door applications, where typical fold-down racks will interfer with the rear door access. This rack is also very useful with pickup truck applications for complete, unobstructed access to the lowered tailgate - provided you have at least 10½" of clearance from the top of your hitch to the bottom of your lowered tailgate.
All of the hitch racks have a nut inside the base of the rack that attaches them inside the hitch. Instead of a hitch pin, all of the hitch racks use a threaded bolt to affix the rack to the hitch. This takes out the wobble in the rack when it's loaded, making your precious cargo rock solid on the back of your car - we all know that 4 bikes on the back of the car could be worth more than the car itself! |
