Today on our 2012 Toyota Four Runner well be test fitting the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting Four Bike Carrier, part number sr26247. 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. Theres about 16-3/4 inches of ground clearance, the closet part of the carrier to the closet part of the vehicle here at the rear bumper is about six inches, from the cargo door to the end of the cradle arms is about four to three inches. To load the bike well undo the cradle straps, set the bike into the frame cradles and secure it with the straps. To access the cargo area, well pull out the black t-handle located on the top right hand side of the mask and tilt the mask down, this will allow us to have access to our cargo door.
That completes todays test fit for the Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting Four Bike Carrier, part number sr26247 on our 2012 Toyota Four Runner.
