Okay, so this fits over a hitch. Doesn't it interfere or block access to the part of the hitch that accepts the safety chains?

It does not interfere of block access to the safety chain loops on my pickup which is a 2011 Ford F150 with an original factory hitch.

Yes it does, I put shackels in the hitch eyes to extend the connection point downward.

If it is a normal trailer bumper then it will not interfere. I use the spare tire as an extra point to tie the bikes off to keep them on the rack.

First, do you have a bed liner in your truck? I do and I had this issue. I cut out enough area to make it drop all the way down and it works great. I really like my hitch extender.

It shouldn't interfere with the cover at all. It mounts on the inside surface of the tailgate.

Hi Sandy... Hmmm, I really can't say. I chose it because it said to work on the Element with a "receiver hitch." I assume you have that hitch, as well, but that won't ensure that it will be a proper fit for you vehicles. I will mention that this hitch is kind of heavy, so you gotta be somewhat strong to insert it in the receiver with ease. I have seen that there are lighter/smaller ones. Also, when I searched your vehicle(s) on Amazon, and just plain Google with the words "bike rack for," all kinds of things came up. I count on reviews to confirm quality and fit for things like this.

Yep can't see why it wouldn't a hitch is a hitch as long as the opening is right.

I haven't tried it that way as I have a regular 2" hitch but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. It would make the bike rack stick out further but that might not be a problem.

I use this with my 5 bike hitch mount carrier fully loaded and have not had a problem. I think it is important to make sure you use the included system to keep the extension from rattling in the reciever and periodically make sure it is tight.

It has two posts, one for each size hitch. At worst, the smaller one would fit even though the larger one is supposed to.

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

It does block somewhat. I purchased reflective tape and added it to the cross beam just as added safety

Hi Peter, the hitch extends out but I don't think it will extend past your spare. When we had questions we called the company and they were easy to contact and very helpful, you might try that. Sorry I can't be of anymore help that that

I am wondering the same thing, I have heard some like this will not go in with safety on.

The ground clearance is not significantly affected, however the effective length of the vehicle is extended. You could test that by placing a yardstick directly behind your trailer hitch.

It seems to me it would be more accessable by having it on the back of the trailer than if placed in the double hitch on the vehicle. I have a cover by my bikes and with the cover, accessability would be an issue in using the double hitch.

As an addition to the other responses - I have been trying to find if this carrier is too close to the exhaust and found a video collection from the manufacturer. The video for us Wrangler owners is shown on a 2009 2-door. It doesn't block the exhaust - http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Pro-Series/63153.html

if it mounts to your hitch, then it is unlikely, unless you rig something up
