How to Determine if Folding Wheelchair Carrier part # FHG77ZR Will Clear Rear Bumper

Question:

We have a 2016 Mazda CX5R. We a cargo carrier for about a year and someone backed up into it and wrecked it. We are now looking for a carrier that would fold up when not in use. Would the FHG77ZR be the best choice for our vehicle?

The Folding Wheelchair Carrier part # FHG77ZR that you referenced is a great cargo carrier option. It can fold up when not in use and has a ramp too for easy loading.

To determine if you'd have enough clearance to fold up the carrier all you need to do is measure from the center of the hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the bumper. If that distance is less than 4-3/4 inches the rack will fold up.
