The Kuat Sherpa Aluminum Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, part # SH12G will fit 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers and # SH22G will fit 2 inch receivers, which is what would be on your truck.
This bike rack wil carry 2 bikes with a weight capacity of 40 lbs each and will accommodate tires up to 2-3/4 inches wide and wheels from 20 to 29 inches diameter. The # S101 has a distance of 8-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bike rack when folded down and 5-1/8 inches when folded up.
You can take a quick measurement to be sure this carrier will work well for you. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Place the straight edge vertically against the back rear bumper, letting it extend below the trailer hitch receiver opening. Then measure from the center of the hitch pin to the straight edge. This will give you the distance you need to clear the rear bumper.
