Question:
Hi- what is the length of the tongue? I need 12 inches from the center of the hole for the hitch pin to clear my tailgate mounted spare tire. Also, I need 9 inches to clear the bumper on my camper if I were to use it on that hitch. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH69XE is going to have 9-1/2" of clearance from the hitch pin center hole to the uprights so I recommend using the Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483. This extender will swing away allowing you access to your rear storage area without having to remove all your bikes.
