Question:
I understand the Thule EasyFold XT is recommended for our 2018 Buick Regal Sportback. Since Thule EasyFold rack appears to be raised once installed will this provide enough ground clearance? And does the hitch receiver extend far enough out for rack to miss bumper?

Expert Reply:
It absolutely will; so long as you have a hitch for your 2018 Buick Regal Sportback like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12185 that fits, you can definitely use the EasyFold, which is the following part number:
- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202
The EasyFold XT # TH903202 has a 65 lb per-bike weight capacity so it can easily carry a pair of 50 lb ebikes, and is a really smart choice for a bike rack. It uses adjustable, padded clamps and tire straps to secure your bikes so it will even work with bikes that have fenders and a step-through frame, like many ebikes do today.
More than the type of bike it can carry, the EasyFold is the best bike rack available because it offers a plethora of convenience features which makes it the simplest bike rack on the market to use. One of the things that truly separates it from other racks is that it comes with an aluminum ramp that allows you to load up and remove your heavy bike with minimal effort relative to other racks that require you to lift up your bike just to get it on and off.
The rack also completely folds up and has wheels and a handle, so getting it from storage to your Buick (and vice-versa) is a breeze. It also installs easily in your hitch; tightening with just the twist of a knob. It even offers security for both the rack and your ebikes due to the integrated locks in the clamps that secure your bikes to the rack, and a lock in the knob that secures the rack to your hitch,
