Would Swagman Chinook be Able to Fold Up on a 2014 Subaru Forester with Draw Tite Hitch

Question:

I have a 2014 Subaru Forester w/ 2.5L and am looking at the Draw Tite 75876 for use with a Swagman Chinook bike rake. What is the dimension from the center of the pin hole to the end of the bumper. I believe the Swagman Chinook has 6inch clearance from hole to bumper when folded. THX

When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75876 on a 2014 Subaru Forester we found that there was a distance of 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the rear bumper.

The Swagman Chinook part # S64683 has a distance of 6 inches from the pin hole to the upright of the rack when folded up so it would clear folded up by one inch.
