Thule Apex 4 Swing Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2010 Ford Escape- Video
Today on our 2010 Ford Escape, we'll be test fitting the Thule Apex Swing 4-bike carrier, part number TH9027. We'll begin our test fit by sliding the shank of the bike rack into the opening of the hitch. We'll allow the integrated hitch pin to fall into place, and we'll secure it to the vehicle by turning the black knob to engage the anti-rattle device. We'll now go over a few clearance measurements to see how the two fit together. We have about 16" of ground clearance. With the cradle arms folded down, we've added about 14" to the overall length of our vehicle. more
