Thule Doubletrack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Kia Optima- Video
Today on our 2014 Kia Optima we're going to be doing a test fit of the Thule Double Track platform-style 2-bike rack. As you can see here, we've already got it up on our vehicle installed, fitted, so you can see what it looks like and how it fits. We're going to go through how to break it down and how everything comes together. It's going to be part number TH990XT. First things first, we're going to get a few measurements starting with your closest distance first, which in this case is going to be from the bracket here to the back side of the bumper at about 3-1/4". Overall distance that we've added to the vehicle to the back of the cradle arms here at about 30-1/4", and ground clearance at about 15". Now we'll give you your ground clearance from this side as well, which looks like it's going to be about 8-3/4". Now let's take the bike down. more
