Thule  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Nissan Frontier TH9029XT

Today on our 2015 Nissan Frontier we're going to be doing a test fit on the Thule Vertex. This is a folding and tilting 4-bike rack. It's been designed for use with 1-1/4" or with 2" hitches. Part number on it is TH9029. Now the Vertex is going to use three cradles to hold each bike in place. We've got two up here for the top frame and then also an anti-sway cradle here on the back, which it does a pretty good job of keeping that bike from moving too far front and back. Now to release our straps we'll just pull down and out on them, sideways and out I guess on that rear one. more

Lifting up on the arms is going to get it back into platform position. The lever down here that's used to operate that is a sturdy steel lever, so you can either reach in with your foot if you decided to or with your hand. The very back side of the rack here, the bottom of our knob at about 24-3/4 of an inch worth of clearance. more
