Today on our 2013 Toyota RAV4, we will be test fitting the Saris Freedom Platform Style
2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part number SA4412B. To begin our test fit,
we will slide the shank of the bike carrier into the receiver tube of our hitch. We will
line up our pin holes, thread in the anti-rattle bolt from the left side, and tighten it with
a wrench. We will secure this with the clip. We'll get a few measurements. Your ground
clearance is about 11-1/4". Closest part of the bike rack to the back of the vehicle
is about 9-1/4", and overall we have added about 24" to the RAV4. In this
position, we have full access to our rear hatch. To load our bike, we will pull the
yellow handle at the bottom of the center mast, allowing it to raise to its upright
position.
