Thule Apex 4 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2012 GMC Sierra

Review of the Thule Apex 4 Hitch Bike Rack on a 2012 GMC Sierra

Today on our 2012 GMC Sierra, well be test fitting the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier, part number TH9025. To begin our test fit well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch and turn the black knob located at the base of the carrier to engage our anti-rattle device. Now lets go over some clearance measurements to see how the bike carrier and this vehicle fit together. There are about 16 inches of ground clearance. The closest part of the vehicle to the closest part of the carrier is about four inches. Weve added about 12 inches to the overall length of the vehicle.

To access the cargo area, well lift up on the grey handle located at the base of the carrier and tilt the carrier down and this will allow you to have access to your truck bed. To load the bike, first make sure that the mast is in its upright position, lift the grey handle located at the top of the mast, tilt the cradle arms towards you and undo the cradle straps. Set the bike onto the frame cradles and secure with the cradle straps. That concludes todays test fit for the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier, part number TH9025on our 2012 GMC Sierra. .
