Today on our 2013 Toyota Tundra, well be test fitting the Thule Dobletrack Platform Style
2-Bike Carrier, Part Number TH990XT.Now to begin our test fit, well simply slide the
shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our pinholes, thread our anti-rattle
bolt through the pinholes and tighten it with a wrench.Now that our Thule Doubletrack is
secured to our Toyota Tundra, well go over a few clearance measurements to see how they
fit together. With the platform folded up, we have about 16-1/2 inches of ground clearance.
Closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicle is about 8-1/2 inches
and weve added about 13-1/2 inches to the overall length of our vehicle.Well now lift
the gray lever at the base of the carrier to fold the platform down. With the platform
folded down, we have about 22-1/2 inches of ground clearance at the rear of the carrier.
Closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicle is about 7-1/2 inches.
With the platform folded down, we have about 33 inches of overall length added to the vehicle.Now
with the platform folded down, you can see that we can easily lower the tailgate and
have access to our truck bed.To load the bike, well first raise the mast, put the frame hooks
to the top of the mast and well undo the tray straps.
