Thule Helium Aero Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2012 Ford Fusion- Video

Today on our 2012 Ford Fusion we'll be test fitting the Thule Helium Aero Two Bike Carrier for 1 1/4 Inch and 2 Inch Hitches, part number th9042. To begin our test fit we'll slide the shank of the carrier into receiver tube of our hitch. Then we'll allow the included pin to fall into place. Now we'll move to the rear of the shank and use the hand knob to secure our bike rack to our vehicle and engage our anti-rattle device.Now we'll go ahead and go over some clearance measurements. We have about 14 inches of ground clearance. The closest point of the carrier to the rear of the vehicle is about a centimeter apart. more

SportRack Super EZ Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2012 Ford Fusion- Video

Today on our 2012 Ford Fusion, we'll be test fitting the SportRack Super EZ platform-style 2-bike rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number SR2901LR.

Now we'll go ahead and go over some clearance measurements. We have a ground clearance of about 14-1/2". The shank of our carrier actually starts inclining right at the base of our bumper, and so our bumper clearance is zero, because our carrier and our bumper is flush with each other. more
