Question:
I am curious if the Thule Parkway hitch-mount bike rack will work on a Honda CR-V which has the spare tire on the rear tailgate.

Expert Reply:
In order to determine if this will fit on your Honda CR-V you will need to take one measurement.
You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin out to the furthest point on your spare tire. This is the required amount of distance you will need from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest upright bar or bracket on a bike rack.
Since this Thule Parkway 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, part # TH956, has a distance of 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin out to the upright bar of the bike carrier. So you would need at least that distance from the center of the hitch pin on your hitch out to the furthest point on the spare tire of your Honda CR-V.
