Hitch Pin Hole Depth Required For A Thule Receiver Hitch Bike Rack

Question:

I have a 2019 Honda CRV with a factory installed class 1, 1 1/4 inch hitch and the depth of the pin hole on my hitch is only 1 inch. The problem I am running into is that the bike racks I am looking at, Yakima in particular, require atleast a 1.5 inch depth. I Would like to know the pin depth requirement for this bike rack.

Unfortunately all Thule racks require a 1-1/2" as well so what you can do is replace your current hitch with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 76128 and alleviate your depth issue. Then you can install the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Item # TH934XTR.
