Check your Receiver Depth
2
To ensure proper fit, it's important to know
the depth of your receiver. Determine this
by doing the following:
• With a ruler inserted in the receiver,
measure from the center of the hitch
mounting hole to the point where you
make contact with an obstacle.
This is your Receiver Depth.
• If you do not contact a back-stop or your
hitch receiver does not have a backstop,
another potential point of contact could
be an undercarriage-mounted spare tire
or the undercarriage itself.
• Using the table in the next page, compare
your measurement to see which hitch racks
will work with your vehicle.
Your Receiver Depth must be equal to or
greater than the product measurement
listed in the table for a proper fit.
