Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado we will be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Traveler
4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches, Part #HR8500. Let's get started by sliding
the shank of the bike rack into the receiver. We'll line up the pin holes, thread in
the anti-rattle bolt and tighten it with a quick turn of the wrench and then you can
insert the cotter pin on the other side. With the rack in place, you'll see your ground
clearance is about 5-1/2 inches. The closest point from the back of the truck to the rack
is about 6 -1/2 inches and the overall dimensions added to the back of the Silverado is about
12-1/2 inches. By pulling the pin at the bottom of the mast, you can tilt the rack back and
have full access to the back of the Silverado. Next, you can pull the pin at the top of the
mast, swing your cradle arms out, reinsert the pin to secure it in place. With the cradle
arms extended, the overall length added to the back of the Silverado is about 38 inches.
Now we can undo our cradle straps, grab our bike, place it in the cradle, secure out cradle
straps and you're good to go. That completes our test fit of the Hollywood Racks Traveler,
Part #HR8500, on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.
