Question:
I was looking at the Rhino rack 2 bike hitch mount bike rack for my 2018 ford F150 XLT 4WD. While it appears that the tailgate will hit a loaded bike will it also hit the rack without the bikes mounted. The videos dont show that.

Expert Reply:
The best two bike rack option for a 2018 Ford F-150 is the Rocky Mounts BackStage part # RKY10002 which has a swing away feature so you can lower the tailgate with or without the bikes attached without interference. I am not sure which exact bike rack you are referencing but most will hit the tailgate with or without bikes in some way for the exception of the swing-away racks. There is also the option of adding the swing-away features to other racks using the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch part # Y02483.
