Today on our 2013 Dodge Journey well be test fitting the Thule T2 Platform Style Bike Carrier,
part number TH916XTR. To mount our carrier to the vehicle well insert the shank of the
carrier into the receiver tube of the hitch. Well line up our hitch pin holes, thread in
our anti-rattle bolt and tighten it down with a wrench securing it with a lock on the other
side. Next well go over a handful of clearance measurements. Weve got about 11 inches of
ground clearance and 3 inches of clearance between the closest part of the carrier and
the closest part of the vehicle. Overall, weve added about 16 inches of length to the
rear of our vehicle with the carrier folded up.
Now well use the release lever at the base of the rack to tilt it down flat. Well go
over a couple more measurements. With the carrier folded flat weve added about 33 inches
of length to the rear of our vehicle. Weve got about 17 inches of ground clearance with the rear of the carrier. Now we can prepare to load a bike.
