How Tall is the Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack from the Trailer Hitch to the Top of the Rack
Question:
Can you tell me the measurements between the top and bottom of the vertical mast? My current Pro Rack is approximately 35. I have two 29inch mountain bikes and need about 2-3 more inches of clearance. I like the angled receiver bar on this model. I have a 2014 VW Sportwagen.

I checked with Swagman and found that the Trailhead bike rack # S63360 measures 40 inches from the top of the mast to where it connects to the shank. The shank rise is 3 inches measured from the top of the receiver. That is a total of 43 inches from the top of the receiver opening on the hitch to the top of the mast. I made a picture to illustrate this for you. This bike rack will be a great fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen.
