Platform Bike Rack Recommendation with Great Ground Clearance  

Question:

While 10 inches of clearance from the top of a hitch tube down to the ground isn't a lot by any means it's also not an unheard of amount of ground clearance. There are several vehicles that have similar clearances without issue. That said, we don't have a hitch that fits your vehicle and I suspect part of the reason is the convertible mechanisms and the low clearance which you've mentioned as well. (see below for bike rack recommendation)

The rack that would give you the best ground clearance and bike wheel protection would be the Saris Freedom part # SA4414B. This rack has an angled shank that angles up soon after the shank exits the hitch opening. The bikes are also loaded higher and higher as you get further away from the back of the vehicle, whereas the other racks don't have that feature.
