Today on our 2012 Dodge Charger, well be test fitting the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting four bike carrier, part number sr26247. Now to begin our test fit well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our pin holes, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the pin holes, and tighten them with a wrench. Now well go ahead and go over a few clearance measurements to see how the bike carrier and this vehicle will fit together. There is about six inches of ground clearance. The closet part of the vehicle to the closet part of the carrier is about one and half inches. Weve added about 33 to the overall length of the vehicle.
To load the bike well undo the cradle straps, set the bike into the frame cradles, and secure it with the straps. With this bike carrier and this vehicle you can access your cargo area with the mast of the carrier in its upright position or you can pull up on the black T-handle to tilt the carrier down. That completes todays test fit for the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting four bike carrier, part number sr26247 on our 2012 Dodge Charger.
