Question:

Im installing a 2inch Class C receiver on my 2015 Honda CR-V. Will I be able to use the 2inch version of the Thule T2 Pro XT Platform Hitch on my 2015 Honda CR-V? Specifically, I want to make sure all 3 features below will work with my vehicle before purchasing. If some work, but not others, I will not purchase this item. 1. Will the hitch extend far enough away from the back of my vehicle when two average sized road bikes are resting on the platforms? 2. Will the hitch extend far enough away from the back of my vehicle in the stored folded position to not hit my vehicle? 3. Will I be able to open my rear hatch when the hitch is holding 2 average sized road bikes and in the access position? Thanks for your help

Helpful Expert Reply:

If you are installing a Draw Tite hitch part # 75742 on your 2015 Honda CR-V the Thule T2 Pro XTT part # TH83JV would fit and work well. To answer your first question you would easily have the ability to carry two road bikes with this setup. You also would have more than enough clearance for the rack to fold up when not carrying a bike.

I attached a video that shows this rack demoed on a 2015 Honda CR-V just like yours for you to check out. In it you can see that with road bikes loaded we were able to open the rear hatch. I attached a screenshot that shows this as well.
