Will the Thule Apex XT Bike Rack Work With a Steep Driveway

Question:

I have doubts about a hitch bike rack’s length when folded. I want to know of it can handle my steep driveway entrance without scratching the ground. It can be any model. Thank you.

I wouldn't really be able to tell you that or not, but what I can say is that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the Thule Apex XT Bike Rack for 5 Bikes # TH9026XT when the arms are folded down is 16". So you'd have to take that info and check your driveway to get your answer.

I've included a diagram showing this measurement for you to check out as well.
