Hey Brad, yeah you would need a hitch extender with the Thule ReVert bike rack part # TH83VA to allow the tailgate of a full size truck to open. For that we have the Gen-Y Hitch Extender part # e88YR which is 8 inches long. What kind of bikes will you be hauling?

I would be hauling 6 mountain bikes, each around 30 lbs.

The Curt #C29UR and the Draw Tite part #76046-SK are definitely the most hidden options for your 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid but the edge goes to the Curt in terms of least visible since the safety chain loops are horizontal and smaller. I attached…
