Expert Reply:

Hi there Kay; you can use a hitch extender with the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV. Keep in mind, the use of an extender like the # e88YR will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. As long as your hitch can still hold the bike rack and bikes with this 50% reduction it won't be a problem. I also recommend grabbing the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98881 for the extender to keep your bike rack secure.
