Today on our 2010 Chevy Equinox well be test fitting the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier part
number TH9025. To begin our test fit well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening
of the receiver tube, line up our pin hole and secure it with a spring loaded pin. Turn
the black *** located at the base of the carrier to engage the anti-rattle device.
Now, lets go over some clearance measurements to see how the carrier and this vehicle fit
together. There is about 13 inches of ground clearance. The closest part of the vehicle
to the closest part of the carrier is about 6 inches.
Weve added about 12 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. To access the cargo
area, lift up on the gray handle located at the base of the carrier and pull the mast
towards you. This will allow you to have access to your cargo door. To load the bike, first,
make sure that the mast is in its upright position and the frame cradles are undone.
Set your bike onto the frame cradles and secure it with the cradle straps.
