Today on our 2012 Cadillac SRX we'll be test fitting the Softride Dura parallelogram
tilting 4-bike rack, part number SR26247. We'll begin our test fit by sliding the
shank of the bike rack into the opening of the hitch. We'll thread in our anti-rattle
bolt and tighten it down using a wrench. With the bike rack secured, we'll go over a
few clearance measurements to see how the two fit together. We have about 15 1/2 inches
of ground clearance. The closest part of the bike rack to the closest part of the vehicle
is about 6 1/2 inches away, and we've added about 37 inches to the overall length
of our SRX. To load up a bike, we'll undo the cradle straps, place our bike into the
frame cradles and then secure it with the straps. With our bike all loaded up, we'll
go ahead and check for clearance access.
