Can Rear Hatch Be Opened on 2014 Jeep Cherokee with Thule T2 Loaded and Tilted Down
Question:
I have the newly designed 2014 Jeep Cherokee and would like to know if the hatch can be opened with the bikes loaded on the rack, and the rack in the tilt position. We have a 2014 Specialized Crossroads and a 2013 Raleigh Misceo.

Expert Reply:
We have not tested the T2 # TH69TX on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee yet but based on the location of the trailer hitches that we have installed relative to the rear bumper I am very confident that you will be able to open the rear hatch with little to no interference with the T2 loaded and tilted down.
You would want to have the most narrow bike closest to the vehicle to maximize the potential for opening the rear hatch.
