Depends of the length of the tongue on that rack it is sitting in and how far back your receiver hitch sticks out. Only someone with your exact same rack and car could answer the question perfectly. I can tell you that with the factory hitch on my Expedition and with the aluminum luggage carrier I got from Harbor Freight Tools, I can pull that bag and suitcases toward me an can barely get the back door open, but it does clear the bag, barely.

I, no longer own one..but, I do believe that you have to take it off the door. Access is in the back.

I have not been able to open my Honda Odyssey tailgate without removing the rack from the trailer hitch. The rack does lift up and can be secured in a semi upright position so that when you are parked your vehicle's profile will be smaller

The sides only have one zipper, so I don't see any way to lock them. The top has 2 zippers which they can be put next to each other and possibly get a small lock through the tops of both of them. There's only about a quarter inch opening on each, so that isn't much room. I dont think it would keep somebody out if they really wanted to break into it. All they would have to do is cut alongside the zipper with a sharp knife. Since we're using the bag for geocaching supplies, it was not important to us that it locked. This would be a case you would either keep with you all the time or locked in your trunk. The sides only have one zipper, so I don't see any way to lock them.

Pulling one 5/15 pin allows the upright to fold down. You then have access to the back hatchback.

No you can only open from tailgate end. However, if you are handy you could replace the bolt tightening cover holders in the front with something easy to work so you can take it completely off. My toolbox is under the front third and it would be great to easily get into it. That is my next project.

I have a pick-up and can almost let tail gate down. The rack does stick out and I really think that any trunk can be opened.

Yes you can. the Allen sport can move around 45 degree to be able to open the trunk door

Yes. I had no issue with opening or closing the rear hatch of my SUV with this on my Pro Series hitch rack, even with a couple things strapped on top of the bag.

I mounted the bags with the little pocket to the rear. Not sure if it matters, although from the cut of the leather that lays across the rear fender, I think pocket should be to the rear.

I have a Rav4 Toyota. I am able to open the back door about 8 or 12 inches. Not real far just enough to get small items out. Not ideal. I have had the rack a few years now and starting to rust. If you buy make sure you use WD40 frequently so you can slide the bars back and forth. I do like the rack though.

Sorry, Havent' done this yet, But its a structured bag I can see it being easy to remove 1) lay on its side, 2)tap the root ball, 3) out it should come. My roots have not infiltrated the fabric.

Dear client, the front flap is closed with two snap fasteners ,which are under the decorations (belt fasteners).So when you pick up the bag by handle ,the flap won't open.Hope it is of help.There is someting wrong with the bag's description online and we have corrected them.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I primarily use it on the bumper of an RV, so I'm not sure if a car trunk can open. When I use it on my pickup truck, it must be removed to drop the tailgate. Removal is pretty easy, and it is the best bike rack I've used.

Not with it in the up position. Not hard to drop down to open trunk, just one level to pull.

Jordan's answer is what is shown by the distributor and the owners manual. Can you go without the handle, yes as long as you have access to either the side or top to pull the door open. However the predrilled holes will show unless you find a decorative or ss colored hole plug. You could probably use a smaller pull handle on the top handle hole also. It depends on the look or how creative you would want to be.
