Today on our 2012 Ford Edge well be test fitting the Rhode Gear Highway 2 Bike Carrier for
both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches. This is part number RG80152320. Now, to begin our
test fit well simply slide our bike rack shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pinhole
and install and tighten down our anti-rattle bolt. With our bolt tight, our bike rack is
secured to the vehicle. Well now go ahead and give you a few measurements. Our ground
clearance at the bike rack is 10 inches and from the closest point of the bike, rack mast
to the back of the vehicle is 6 inches. Well now go ahead and pull the pin at the
bottom of the bike rack mast to tilt the mast down. We can then open our rear hatch. As
you can see, we can gain full access to the cargo area opening our door completely. Well
now go ahead and undo the straps up here at the cradles. Well place the bike into the
cradles and bring the straps around securing our bike to
the bike rack.
