Recommended Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 2002 Chevy Corvette for Ground Clearance
Question:
Hello, I will be ordering the Curt 11034 trailer hitch and want to purchase a bike rack as well. Since the Corvettes sit rather low to the ground, I am concerned about ground clearance issues for the bike rack. Best I can tell, the Swagman series racks may be the best option due to the upward bend upon exiting the hitch. Any information/recommendations are greatly appreciated. Many thanks

For your 2002 Chevy Corvette the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # C11034 is the only confirmed fit. For your bike rack with ground clearance, I recommend the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 or the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ. Both bike racks have a shank that will have a rise for greater ground clearance and the ability to tilt or fold as well. These wheel holders hold the bikes higher due to the tray versus the hoops for the wheels to sit in.
I've attached videos to assist.
