To being our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, align up our pinholes, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the threaded pinholes and then tighten with a wrench. Now lets go over some clearance measurements to see how the bike carrier and this vehicle fit together. There is about ten and a half inches of ground clearance. Closest part of the vehicle to the closest part of the carrier is about five inches. Weve added about 39 inches of overall length of the vehicle.
To load the bike, well undo the cradle straps, set the bike onto the frame cradles and then secure it with the straps. To access the cargo area, well pull the black T-handle located at the top of the mast and tilt the mast down. This will allow you to have access to your cargo door.
