Question:
what is the width of the platform? Can this fit on a 2010 impala?
asked by: Sandy
Expert Reply:
The dimensions of the platform of the Trailer Hitch Mounted Scooter / Wheel Chair Carrier, # RHWC1114, are 28 inches wide by 48 inches long.
This carrier will work on your 2010 Chevrolet Impala, as long as a Class II 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch is installed on the vehicle.
If your Impala does not have a Class II hitch installed on it, we have several options that will work on the 2010 Impala, see link. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Custom Fit Class II Trailer Hitch, # 36407, for this application.

Question:
Thanks Bob, I have another question: When the platform is flat on the ground, how high can you crank it up?
asked by: Sandy
Expert Reply:
The platforms jack will crank 16 to 18 inches depending on which mounting holes the platform is installed in on the jack frame. There is an 8 hole mounting plate on the jack and the carrier that allows you to position the platform for the best position for your particular vehicle.
Whether you have a passenger car with a very low hitch, or a large truck with mud tires this carrier can be adjusted for proper clearance, so the carrier does not drag behind the vehicle when entering steep drives or traversing deep dips or speed bumps.
