• Options For A Swing Enclosed Cargo Carrier To Put On A BMW X5
  You can absolutely use the Thule Arcos # TH25YE on both of your BMW X5s. Provided they have either a 2" or 1-1/4" trailer hitch on the back. As far as trunk access goes, the platform does not have a swing away feature. We do offer swing away adapters that can be used like part # SAR36VR. This will allow the carrier to swing away for full trunk access. I would however caution against the use of an adapter. Using this will effectively decrease your hitches carrying capacity by half.

• Can TopShelf For Yakima Exo SwingBase be Used in Vertical 2 Inch Hitch
  Hey Brian, There is not an adapter or any way to use the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR in a vertical 2 inch receiver. The TopShelf does require you to use the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your trailer tongue we do have something for that, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LGA55VR.

• Will Yakima EXO System Fit 2021 Toyota Highlander and is Light Kit Needed
  As long as you have at least 4-1/4" of space from the center of your hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of your 2021 Toyota Highlander the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR will fit perfectly! I do recommend picking up the License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit # Y74VR for a few reasons; it helps illuminate the cargo box so driver's behind you can clearly see the extra length of your vehicle at night, and it also makes upgrading to the TopShelf # Y94VR and other...

  We definitely have a solution for transporting bikes on your Ram Promaster. However, I sent a photo of your setup to my tech at Thule, and he confirmed that your spare tire sits too high in order for the Thule Elite Van XT # TH302043 to work with your bikes on your van even in the highest position available on the rack. Although, from the looks of your picture, it looks like you have the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y62VR installed on your hitch. If this...

• Best Hidden Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Options for a 2020 Lexus RX 450h
  If you like how hidden the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e49KR looks on a 2020 Lexus RX 450h then I recommend checking out the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT58GR instead. This has the same hidden crosstube style that the etrailer option does but the Hidden Hitch actually gives you the ability to remove the receiver when you aren't utilizing it. There is a locking piece that secures it to your vehicle for piece of mind so you simply unlock it and maneuver the locking piece into the unlocked...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Acura RDX
  The 3 hitches you asked about for your 2016 Acura RDX have the following weights when it comes to shipping: etrailer - # e24AR - 27 lbs Curt - # C13130 - 28 lbs Draw-Tite - # 75784 - 29 lbs The actual weight of the hitches is going to be a few pounds less since the shipping weight includes shipping materials. These are all going to have the exact same installation process and since the weight is all comparable it really boils down to preference. For your application I recommend going...

• Yakima Modular EXO SwingBase Cargo System Compatibility On a 2022 Kia Carnival Minivan
  While we have not used the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR on your 2022 Kia Carnival we have used it on a 2020 Honda Odyssey(see video below), so I see no reason you will not be able to use this on your Kia.

Here is a list of the accessories you can add to the EXO SwingBase. TopShelf for Yakima...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2021 Nissan Murano for a Bike Rack
  I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98907 for your 2021 Nissan Murano because it has a matte black finish that helps it blend in with the trim on your Murano and helps to hide any scratches that might occur from road debris hitting it. Then for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR for a few reasons. The first is that the swing-away feature means you can gain complete access to your rear hatch area without removing your bikes, the...

• Swing-Away Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2014 Ford Flex That Will Clear Heat from Dual Exhaust
  The two 2-inch hitches we offer that fit your 2014 Ford Flex with dual exhaust are Draw-Tite # 75679 and Curt # C13110. Once installed these two hitches will be fairly close to the rear of the vehicle; the hitch pin holes will be about 3-inches forward of the rear edge of the bumper cover. As most hitches go, this is a relatively large amount of clearance, meaning that a hitch cargo carrier will be fairly far from the two exhaust tips. The hitch receiver opening will be pretty much at the...
