Today on our 2007 Scion TC, well be test fitting the Sportrack 2 bike hitch mounted bike carrier,
Part # A30901. And to begin our test fit, well simply slide the bike rack shank into
the hitch right up the hitch pin hole and install and tighten down our anti rattle bolt.
With our bolt tight, our bike rack is secured to the vehicle. Now we can give you a few
measurements. Our ground clearance at the bike rack is 14 3/4 inches and from the closest
point of the bike rack to the back of the vehicle is 7 1/2 inches. Now well go ahead
and unfold the bike rack platform and open up our rear hatch.
And as you can see, we can gain full access opening the hatch completely with this bike
rack. Were now almost ready to load our bike, well need only to make sure that our wheel
loop straps are undone and out of the way. Well place the bike into the wheel loops and
bring the vertical bar up remembering to reinstall the pin holding the bar in place. At that
point we can bring our vertical bar clamp down over the top bar of our bike. Well move
back down to the wheel loops where well put the straps thru the wheels and secure them
on the other side.
