Recommended Hitch Platform Bike Rack For 2004 Toyota 4Runner
Question:
My 2004 4-runner hitch receiver has side safety chain “hoops” on the sides....will I be able to install the hitch pin in the hole? The inside diameter of the “hoop is 1 1/8 inch. See uploaded photos. Thank you

The position of the safety chain loops are an issue. I spoke with a Thule rep and they said the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, will not fit your vehicle.
If you want to carry e-bikes we do offer other racks that might meet your needs. I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # Y36FR. This rack comes with a ramp that makes the loading and unloading of your bikes easier. It can carry bikes that weigh up to 66 lbs. You will secure the bike via the wheels and the frame of the bike, which is perfect if you have a bike with fenders. It comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin that reduces the movement between the hitch receiver and your hitch bike rack. This rack comes with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. With the addition of the Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System (SKS), part # Y07235, you can lock this rack to your vehicle. You will still be able to access the rear of your vehicle because the mast of the OnRamp tilts, even when you are carrying bikes.
I have included product description links, a video review link, and a video demo link below.
