Carry up to four bikes using the Thule® Apex XT Hitch Mounted Bike Rack. An alternative to a roof-mount bike carrier, the hitch mount allows you to quickly and easily install your bikes on the back of your vehicle for your journey and allows for hatch access when you need to reach the trunk area. Designed with a receiver lock to help reduce hitch rack movement. The bike arm design features easy to operate ratcheting bike tie-downs creating greater spacing between bikes that helps with easier loading and reduced contact between bikes.
Requires either a factory or dealer installed hitch receiver. See your dealer for more details on vehicle compatibility. Remove hitch mounted bike rack when not in use or prior to entering any mechanical or high pressure car wash system.
NOTICE: An additional number plate might be required. This should be attached to the appropriate part of the carrier in accordance with local laws and regulations. Thule® License Plate Holder Part Number 000071800PDSP. Sold separately at additional cost.
