Softride Dura Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2012 GMC Acadia

Review of the Softride Dura Hitch Bike Rack on a 2012 GMC Acadia

Today on our 2012 GMC Acadia, well be test fitting the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting 4 Bike Carrier, part number SR26247. To begin our test fit well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch tube, align our threaded pin hole, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the threaded pin and tighten with a wrench. Now lets go over some clearance measurements to see how the bike carrier and this vehicle fit together. There are about 16 and a half inches of ground clearance. The closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicle is about two inches. Weve added about 32 inches to the overall length of the vehicle.

To load the bike, first undo the cradle straps, set the bike onto the cradles and secure it with the cradle straps. To access the cargo area, pull the black knob located at the top of the mast and tilt the carrier towards you. This will allow you to have access to your cargo door. That concludes todays test fit for the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting 4 Bike Carrier, part number SR26247 on our 2012 GMC Acadia. .
