Question:

I installed a swagman bike rack on my 2013 srx etrailer hitch and it stuck out a little and had no problem with two bikes. I ordered the c13285 for my XT5 and I am concern that the hitch does not stick out far enough so the bike rack will clear the fascia. Have you had any issues. Have not receive the hitch yet. So I am worried that the rack will be close to the back of the car. The bike rack is a swagman XTC2. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 on your 2018 Cadillac XT5 will have a hitch pin center to outer bumper measurement of 6 inches. The Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 has a measurement from the center of the hitch pin to the closest wheel hoop of 8 inches. You will have 2 inches of clearance so you will be able to use the XTC-2 bike carrier with your Curt trailer hitch.
