Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Chrysler Town and Country TH9029XT- Video
Today on our 2016 Chrysler Town and Country, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Vertex hanging style 4 bike rack. That part number is TH9029XT. We already have our bike on the rack. We're first going to show you how we strap that down. We have two cradles in place and then three straps altogether: two on our frame and then one as our anti-sway strap in the back. To release those we're going to pull down and lift up and we're going to save that anti-sway strap for last. Then we can just pull our bike off and set it off to the side, and with that out of the way we always want to make sure we reconnect our straps so we don't lose or damage any of them. Now we'll take a few measurements. more

When not in use, its got a convenient storage area here, keeps it tucked down in the mast out of the way until we need it. Now as far as bike security, we've got two straps here on the top holding it in place, we've got a third one here on the back that's for our anti sway cradle. That does a good job of keeping the bikes in their position and it will prevent them coming up making contact with the mast or maybe our other bikes. Now to free our bike up, we're just going to remove the three straps, we get that out of the way and you can take a good look at those cradles that we've got in there. more

Today on our 2013 Chrysler Town and Country we're going to be test fitting the Saris Bike Porter four bike rack for inch and a quarter and two inch hitches part number SA404B. We'll begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into the hitch on our Town and Country. You'll want to watch for the hitch pinhole to line up. With that in mind we'll go ahead and take the included threaded anti-rattle hitch bolt and thread that into place. We'll go ahead and get that hand-tight and then we can finish it off with our wrench. Tightening this down helps to take the extra play out of the shank of the rack, which helps to eliminate movement overall as you're going down the road. We'll attach our clip to the other side and grab a few measurements. The closest point of the rack to the vehicle is going to be here at the back of the mast. That measures about five and a half inches. more
