I can't tell by the picture. Is this carrier offset up from the hitch mount?

Yes. About 4 inches up from hitch. Here's my short review from 2012 when I bought this carrier. Love it. 4 inch rise is good enough for my application. Great carrier. I use this with two different cars mostly to carry cans for boat fuel. Keeps fuel out of the car and it's easy to fill the cans right at the pump without dismounting them from the carrier. Solid construction, nothing fancy, well painted, looks like it'll last a long time. The 4 inch rise in the tongue puts the floor of the carrier 4 inches above the hitch receiver that, for my application, is perfect. The carrier does not block the brake/tail lights on either car. Reasonably priced, I'd buy this thing again in a heartbeat. Easy one-man mounting and dismounting, although I've learned to put a piece of duct tape on the tongue to more quickly align the locking-pin hole without having to hunt around for it each time.

This slides into a standard 2" hitch. I am not sure if that is what your asking,

NO, is the short answer. You will have to unplug and remove the unit, and allow the receiver to receive the hitch.

I have an SUV but the rack folds down to provide access. When folded down, the rack is about 10 inches higher than the hitch receiver, if that helps.

The center of the hitch receiver measures 12" [one foot] above the ground. I use a ball hitch upside down to give 2" more above that. Also, I've installed AIR LIFT 60732 1000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit to the rear springs. I've never had a problem with this set up.

It will fit in the standard receiver hitch but it won't butt up to the edge of the back of the van. It comes up only to the end of an opened tail gate

i added the rear seat to mine which has a step pad to rest your feet on and this hitch with the receiver in it is tucked up under the rear step pad, which worked for me to hook a tow strap to pull a race car but you could not use this setup for a ball mounted on the receiver. the round hole is up under the step. i would have to do some measuring to see where it fits with the stock bag carrier mounted on the back. hope that helps.

Hi Peter, the hitch extends out but I don't think it will extend past your spare. When we had questions we called the company and they were easy to contact and very helpful, you might try that. Sorry I can't be of anymore help that that

Yes, you have to have a hitch receptical on your vehicle for the carrier part to fit into, 2 and 1/4 inch .

Yes, the hitch tilts back, it has a pulley pin on the back really simple to open.

The distance it sticks out is totally dependent on your hitch...I put it on a stock Jeep Cherokee and it was about 2 inches from the ground so I got a different hitch--raised it so now it's about a foot off the ground and it still gives me clearance to open my hatch when I pull the pin and lower it. As far as how high from top to bottom, if you assemble it and hold it up so it's on the ground...it's probably 3.5ft tall. For the price--it's totally worth buying.

Mine is 38 inches from the end of my receiver to the back of the platform. This is on a 2000 expedition. I also had to drop the carrier 8 inches. Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't know. But when I tow the hitch should be as level as possible.

Easy way would be to measure it if you aren't familiar with either receiver. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-hitch-size.aspx

No unless you put the hitch on the opposite side otherwise it is only one sided

Please disregard my previous answer. It was based on the tire hold roof rack, not the hitch rack. By upright position, do you mean with the hitch rack folded up toward the vehicle, or folded out with bikes loaded?

The rise on this hitch is 5-3/4 inch. If you have any other questions we would be happy to help. CodyCamping Connection8665768171
