Thule Apex 4 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2011 Kia Sorento

Well be test fitting the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier, part number TH9025. Quick note about this bike rack, it can be used with 1 inch up to 2-inch hitches, although when using the class 1 hitch, you are limited to 2 bikes. With our vehicle equipped with the 2-inch hitch, we will need to use the provided spacer block. With that installed and our bike pre-assembled, were ready to go ahead and fit it to the vehicle. Well simply insert the bike rack shank into the hitch. Well need to pull the integrated locking hitch pin out so that it clears the hitch tube ring. more
