Today we have with us a 2009 Honda CRV and were going to be test fitting the Thule Hitching
Post Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier part number TH934XTR. To mount the carrier to our vehicle
were going to insert the shank into the receiver tube of the hitch. Well line up, thread in
our anti-rattle bolt and tighten it down. Next well check for rear vehicle access. Well
remove the pin at the base of the bike rack and tilt it down. Well open the hatch of our
CRV and make sure we can still access our cargo area.
With that done well tilt our bike rack back up and check for some clearance measurements.
Weve got about 8 inches of clearance between the closest part of our vehicle and the closest
part of the bike rack. Weve got about 12 inches of ground clearance and when the bike rack
arms are folded out weve added about 46 inches length to the vehicle. Now were ready to load
up a bike. Well undo the rubber straps with the cradles closest to the vehicle and then
well pick up our bike and fit it over the arms of the bike rack and well place it in
those cradles and secure the frame of the bike using the rubber straps.
