Question:

Does the Draw-Tite brand hitch sit out further than the Curt for my 2024 Bronco? If so, how much further? I have the spare tire on the back of my car and am needing to use a bike rack.

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Draw-Tite Hitch # DT37GR has a longer receiver than the Curt Hitch # C76WR for your 2024 Ford Bronco. When we installed these on a 2022 Bronco we found the Curt hitch pin hole to sit 1" away from the vehicle frame while the Draw-Tite sat 7" away so you're gaining 6" of clearance with the longer receiver.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack # RKY10002 because it's a platform rack with a built-in swing-away arm that should give you enough clearance so your bike doesn't come into contact with the spare tire. This rack measures 9-1/2" from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack so as long as your spare doesn't sit more than 16" out from the frame of your vehicle you'll be good to go!
