Can Kuat NV Bike Rack Fit Draw Tite Hitch for 2021 Chrysler Pacifica when Folded Up

Question:

Hello, this hitch looks like a great option for the Chrysler Pacifica, but I had trouble finding information on the distance between the hitch receiver and the rear of the vehicle to help determine compatibility. I would like to use this with a Kuat NV 2 bike rack as long as the bike rack will not interfere with the bumper when it is upright, and as long as the tailgate will still open when the bike rack is tilted out of the way.

When we installed the etrailer hitch part # e98903 on a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica like yours we found that it measured 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point on the rear bumper. This will easily allow a Kuat NV bike rack part # NV22G to fold up as this bike rack has 7 inches from the pin hole center to the nearest portion of the rack when folded up. This means you'd have 2 inches of clearance to spare.
