Technical information
Consumer's hitch receiver depth?
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.
