What is the minimum insertion of the rack?

What is the minimum insertion of the rack?

UPDATED NOVEMBER 2024

There are many different vehicle/receiver combinations. Because of this, we cannot keep track of fitment on every type of vehicle and therefore do not provide fitment answers for you. Instead, we provide information you can use to measure and determine for yourself if the Quik Rack Mach2 will work with your vehicle.

A common question when thinking about the depth of a receiver and the style of our hitch insert with its expanding pads is how far into the receiver the hitch absolutely has to go. Ideally, the rack should be inserted into a receiver as far as it can go; however, there are recessed receivers, short receivers, and/or bumpers that can complicate the matter. This diagram shows how far the hitch insert has to go into the receiver in order for the silver pads to be covered.

 

 

 

At minimum insertion, there will be 1 5/16″ outside of the receiver to the point of the cross bar on the hitch. See diagram.

 

 

An issue that arises is whether, with minimum insertion, the rack will clear the bumper of a vehicle. You must determine that for yourself based on this information as well as other measurements in the dimensions FAQ.

If the hitch insert is too short for your vehicle, you might think, “Oh, I’ll just use an extender.” We do not currently make or sell an extender and we cannot warranty the rack when a third party product is used. Also, you need to be wary of pushing the rack and all the weight it will bear too far away from the vehicle. Doing so will reduce the amount of weight the rack can safely carry. And, as mentioned, we cannot cover under warranty any damage incurred when an extender is used.

Be aware of the tongue weight of your vehicle.

After measuring, if you still have questions, please reach out to us at support@quikrstuff.com.
