Platform Bike Rack Recommendation with Great Ground Clearance
Published 07/02/2019 >
Question:
While 10 inches of clearance from the top of a hitch tube down to the ground isn't a lot by any means it's also not an unheard of amount of ground clearance. There are several vehicles that have similar clearances without issue. That said, we don't have a hitch that fits your vehicle and I suspect part of the reason is the convertible mechanisms and the low clearance which you've mentioned as well.
