By pulling the pin at the base of the bike rack, we can tilt it away from our vehicle, giving us full access to our rear hatch. By pulling the pin at the top of our bike rack, we can extend our dual cradle arms, we'll reinsert the pin to secure those in place.

With our bike loaded up, we are ready for the road and that will complete today's test fit of the Thule Hitching Post Pro part number TH934XTR on our 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. . more
