• Does the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Need a Hitch Extender for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
  The question of whether you need a hitch extension to use the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH83JV depends on what hitch you have installed on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4XE as well as the width of your spare tire. If you have a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98856, the length from the center of the hitch pinhole to the end of the spare tire will be about 8 inches. With that length, you will need a hitch adapter...

• Is Hidden Hitch Trailer hitch Extender 80307 Compatible with Anti-Rattle Devices
  I pulled one from the warehouse, and theTrailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # e88YR does not have a hollow shank. It hass a solid steel shank, therefore it is not compatible with anti-rattle devices like the # SR25219 anti-rattle hitch pin, which features a threaded nut that slips into the hollow portion of the ball mount or accessory shank.

• Will the Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier Clear the Spare Tire on a Jeep Wrangler
  In order to clear the spare tire on your Wranger, the Geardeck # H00604 Enclosed Cargo Carrier requires 14 inches of clearance. To determine if it will fit, have a helper hold a straight edge like a yardstick flush against the rear of the spare. Measure 14 inches rearward from the hitch pin hole of the receiver hitch on your Wranger. If this 14 inch measurement hits the yardstick, it will clear the spare tire, and theGearDeck 17 Enclosed Carrier will work great for you. Using a hitch...

• Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6L
  I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Subaru Outback with the 3.6L engine and it lists a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds for a trailer without brakes and 2,700 pounds for a trailer with brakes. As you mentioned it lists a tongue weight capacity in either case of 200 pounds. A vehicle's tongue weight capacity is usually just 10 percent of its towing capacity, but there are certain instances like on your Subaru Outback where this is not the case. I am not...

• Folding Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation to Clear Rear Spare 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  Thanks for getting me the hitch pin to end of spare tire clearance your vehicle has. That makes my job much easier. The etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 just might work for you. When folded up it has a distance of 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest railing of the carrier. Basically you would be 1/2 inch shy of clearance so you may want to verify the measurement you took. Otherwise you'd need to use a hitch extender like # e88YR.

• Is it Okay to Use a Hitch Extender in Between a Swing-Away Extender and a Bike Rack?
  You are correct that using a hitch extender such as the #e88YR will reduce the hitch's total tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if your daughter's hitch normally supports 350 lbs TW, with the adapter it can support only 175 lbs. I contacted Yakima in regard to using a hitch extender off of a swinging arm such as the the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483, and they are strongly against using it this way. Although the arm is rated to support up...

• Extending Hitch for Bike Rack on 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  There are many bike racks compatible with the 4 inch recessed hitch. You will just want to find one with a long shank. Each bike rack we carry will have the measurement from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack so you can confirm fit. For example, the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # RKY10004 measures 11 inches when carrying and 6-1/4 inches when folded close to the vehicle. Using a hitch extender will reduce the hitch capacity...

• Which Platform 4-Bike Rack has Most Clearance to Fit Past Rear Spare of Jeep Wrangler and Liberty
  The Thule T2 4-bike rack part # TH69TX has 7 inches of clearance to fit past the spares at the back of your vehicles so I would be surprised if the rack fit. The 7 inches is from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the nearest bike rail, which is the distance you'd have to worry about. You could measure this on your two jeeps. So what you have to do if you wanted to verify the fit is measure from the pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spares of both vehicles. As long...

  In order to verify if the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU64FR will fit your 2006 Honda CRV with spare tire, you will need to take a measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch receiver, all the way to the rear-most part of your spare tire to determine how far a bike rack will need to be from your hitch receiver. I attached a photo to show this measurement. The Kuat Transfer has a distance of about 8-5/16" from...

• Best Cargo Basket And Hitch Extender For 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  Yes, it would be wise to grab the 8 inch extender # e88YR but the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 isn't what you want. It lacks the tilting feature which also means it cannot fold up to your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited when not in use. The etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 can tilt and fold up! That's a feature I use alot because I don't like having to take the carrier in and out that often. With the 8 inch extension, you should be able to fold it up with no problem! If it were me, I would...

• Spare Tire Carrier Solution for 2019 Winnebago View Motorhome
  Depending on the size of your spare and the hitch receiver to bumper clearance on your 2019 Winnebago View motorhome, you may be able to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # C31006. To gain the most clearance you would use the first mounting hole, which is 2.5 inches from the edge of the shank to the center of the hole. This leaves you with 6.5 inches of space between the center of that hitch pin hole to the backside of the bent upright. If this isn't enough space to...

• Do I Need a Hitch Extender to Pull a Trailer with a 2010 Toyota RAV4 to Clear a Rear Mounted Spare
  The spare tire mounted on the back of your 2010 Toyota RAV4 should not interfere with you being able to tow a small utility trailer. The tongue on the trailer should be long enough to allow you to have clearance around the spare. The spare should also be mounted high enough above the tongue of the trailer that it would not interfere with you being able to make turns with the trailer attached. You should not have to use a Hitch Extender, part # e88YR, but if you decide to you should keep...

  The clearance of of the GearSpace 34 # HGK819 on your 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 depends on how far your ladder rack and spare tire carrier extend from the rear of your vehicle. One way that you can determine for sure if you have enough space is by measuring the furthest outward surface of your tire carrier and ladder from the center of your hitch pin hole. If that measurement falls under 10 inches, you will not have interference when using the # HGK819 on your Sprinter. Unfortunately,...

• Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2009 Saturn Vue
  I would recommend you use a Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-2. This product has a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs and should have no problem flat-towing your 2009 Saturn VUE that weights approximately 5,000 lbs. When in use you will want the tow bar to be sitting as level as possible. If the tow bar is not level you may experience handling problems and tire wear issues on the front tires of the towed vehicle. I attached an FAQ on flat towing vehicle for you to check out also.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with Thule T2 Pro XTR on 2014 Toyota Highlander
  For your 2014 Toyota Highlander, the Thule bike racks are not a fit based on Thule's warranty due to the pin hole location on the OEM hitches. There are a couple of options to keep the warranty in tact with a Thule accessory. One option is to replace your trailer hitch receiver with an aftermarket option like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98844 confirmed to fit your 2014 Highlander.

• Availability of Adapter to Move Hitch Bike Rack Away From Rear Gate on 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  The Blue Ox Towbar Drop Receiver, part # BX88130, is an adapter that is designed to be used with tow bars only. The high-low adapters are only for use with a tow vehicle that will be flat towing another vehicle with a tow bar. Because the tongue weight capacities are very low on these adapters they are not designed or intended for use when towing a trailer, cargo carrier, or bike rack. I can not recommend using this part for your application. If you use a hitch extender like the etrailer...

• Hitch Extender for Jeep Wrangler With Receiver Mounted Bike Rack
  On your Yakima FullSwing 4-bike rack the distance between the end of the receiver and the upright portion of the bike rack is about 8-1/2". (I have attached a picture illustrating this.) You would have to measure the depth of your spare tire to see if it will fit normally. I suspect it will be too close, but if it is, you can use the 8" etrailer # 80307 hitch extender if you have a 2" square receiver opening. If you have a 1-1/4" square receiver opening you can use the 7" Curt # D189...

• Carrying a Scooter and Carrier While Towing a Trailer Behind an RV
  The first thing to check is to make sure the scooter carrier you have is rated for use at the back of an RV. Due to the distance from the rear axle to the back of an RV (which is longer than on a passenger vehicle) there is considerably more bouncing (like being at the back of a school bus). This additional stress creates a lot of stress on the hitch and the carrier. If the carrier is rated for use at the back of an RV then what might work for you is the multipurpose ball mount, # D210....

• Which Bike Rack Will Clear The Tailgate On A 2008 Honda Element?
  The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64683 has a measurement of 12-1/2" from the trailer hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack when folded/tilted down. You can measure from your trailer hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of the tailgate when folded down and if it is less than 12-1/2" you will likely be fine without any interference, but I cannot guarantee it since we haven't tested it on a 2008 Honda Element yet.

• Can a Hitch Extender Be Used With The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2024 Toyota Crown
  When you use a Hitch Extender # e88YR with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77ZV on your 2024 Toyota Crown it is important to remember the extender reduces the receiver weight capacity by 50%. So rather than being able to hold 350lbs it reduces to 175lbs minus the weight of the Extender(12lbs) to get 163lbs maximum for your bike rack and bikes. With the low ride height of your Toyota I recommend staying away from the hitch extender and selecting the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR...
