Receiver Tube Length Of The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76138

Question

Question:

I have a 2016 Madza CX5 Touring. I am in the market for a new bike rack VelociRAX 412 that requires a Class III 2inch hitch. I was looking at Part 76138. However, the rack also requires 3 3/8 inch depth past center of hitch pin hole to a VelociRAX. Do you happen to know the depth past center of hitch for Part 76138 and will the VelociRAX 412 be a good fit? Thank you!

Hey Briawnna,

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76138 has a 3.5" measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the end of the receiver tube so it would work with your VelociRAX 412 bike rack. This hitch also has a 675lb tongue weight capacity, which is over the 500lb requirement of the bike rack.
