Concerned about “spare tire cover” above hitch. TIAA bike rack for an LD needs a long shank to clear the spare tire cover. Make sure the rack has a fold up and down feature, to allow access to the spare, that or the rack will need removing to access the spare. Many bike racks have long shanks, a lot of cars need a long shank, to clear the rear bumper or trunk.Larry 2 Likes
Re: Bike rack Reply #3 – April 03, 2021, 01:38:53 pm I have a thule rack on my MB and it stays out of the way of the tire cover without issue.I think the rack I have tilts, but I have never tilted it since the MB carries the spare in one of the side compartments instead of under the spare tire cover.Rich 2 Likes
