Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Dodge Dart- Video
Today on our 2015 Dodge Dart, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Roadway hanging-style 2 bike rack. That part number is TH912XTR. Now we already have our bike loaded up, but first we're going to show you how we secure that down and then we'll go over some of the features of the rack itself. We have 2 cradles in place holding our bike with 3 straps, 2 on our frame and then 1 as our anti-sway strap here in the back. To release those we're just going to pull down and lift up, then we'll be able to pull our bike off of our rack and set it off to the side. With our bike out of the way, I would suggest that you replace your straps so you don't lose or damage any of them. With our straps back in place we'll take a few measurements here. Our first one's going to be our overall length added to the vehicle with our arms hanging out, which is going to be about 25 and a half inches. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Dodge Dart- Video
Today on our 2015 Dodge Dart we're doing a test fit of the Swagman XC 2 Platform Style 2 Bike Rack. That part number is S64650. Now we already have our bike loaded up. We'll first show you how we secure that down, and then we'll go over some features of the rack itself. Here we have a frame hook which is going to secure our bike down into those cradles. We don't have any straps like you would usually see for those wheels, although I can say with certainty that your bike is going to be completely secure with our frame hook here. To release our bike we're going to lift up on our frame hooks, we'll pinch this piece in here, and just lift straight up. more

Thule Vertex 4 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2013 Dodge Dart- Video
Today, on our 2013 Dodge Dart, we'll be test fitting the Thule Vertex 4-Bike Carrier, Part Number TH9029. To install the bike carrier, we'll slide the bike rack shank into the hitch, then we'll lineup our pinholes and thread our anti-rattle, tightening it with a wrench. Now we'll go over a few clearance measurements. We have a ground clearance 9 inches and the closest point of our carrier to the closest point of our vehicle is about one inch. With bike carrier in the folded position, we've added about 9 inches to the overall length of our vehicle. Now, we can pull the lever at the bottom of the bike carrier to tilt down our bike carrier. As you can see, we can easily gain access to the cargo area of our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead and put the bike carrier back in its upright position, pull the lever at the top of the mast to swing out our cradle arms. more
