Recommended 4-Bike Carrier For 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
Question:
do you carry a four person trunk mounted bike rack for a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
asked by: Susan
Expert Reply:
We do not offer a trunk-mount 4-bike carrier for your 2013 Caravan, but I do have another solution that will work for you.
I recommend a trailer hitch and a hitch-mount bike carrier. The trailer hitch I recommend is the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH9025XT. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. You can check out the install video I have attached.
When carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
