Today on our 2013 Ford F150 well be test fitting the Thule Vertex four bike carrier, part number
TH9029. To begin our test fit well slide shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch,
line up our pin holes. Well then thread our anti-rattle bolt through the threaded pin
holes and tighten with a wrench. Now lets go over some clearance measurements to see
how the bike carrier and this vehicle will fit together. There is about 18 inches of
ground clearance. The closest part of the vehicle to the closest part of the carrier
is about three inches. With the cradle arms folded down weve added
about 12 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. To access the cargo area well lift
up on the grey handle located at the base of the carrier to tilt the carrier down. This
will allow you to have access to your truck bed. To load the bike well first make sure
that the mast is in its upright position. Well lift the grey handle located at the top
of
the mast.
