Thule Apex XT Clears Tailgate

[PigeonP88]

Figured I’d post this here in case anyone was looking for a hitch-mounted bike rack that clears the tailgate on the Maverick. With the Thule folded forward there’s about 2” of clearance.

Nice I wonder if my chinook clears it. I just assumed it did but that's never a good thing to do.

I know this thread is old, but big kudos to the OP. I've been looking for a bike rack for a while that did this without it being cumbersome or needing an adapter. Found one on marketplace and snapped it up. Can confirm I can lower the tailgate with plenty of clearance when this bike rack is extended out!
