It is a rather large rack but does a great job and is very sturdy. The overall length from the front of 2" receiver hitch to the last bike tire supports is roughly 52" or 4' 4". Keep in mind you will also have the handle bars and pedals extending slightly out the back as well which will vary based on what type of bike you are hauling. A good rule of thumb is to plan on the hitch with 4 bikes adding 6' from your hitch back.

Approx 8-10 inches.. If your hitch is not recessed more than 4 inches under vehicles bumper, you will not have a folding clearance issue

That would depend on how long your storage is. Fully extended the rack is 60 in. (5ft), but you don't have to extend the ends fully to use it. I love the rack and it works very well for me. I wish that I had another one, but that is just because I can't get rid of clothes that I really do not need any longer. lol

Can't give you an exact length but i can tell you i had it installed in a 2012 Kia Optima and have easily over 5-8 of slack, more than enough cable for a full size car. Also it does have distance scale lines.

If you're asking about the length of the trailer tongue that extends over the rear wheel then it goes a level 16" from the ball connection (at seat post) to the top of the 45° downward bend of the tongue then on to where it meets the trailer. The overall distance from the front of the trailer to the end of the hitch is 28". When I attached my trail to my 26" bike my cargo rack interfered with the trailer tongue. This meant that I either remove the rack or lengthen the tongue about 5". I hope that this is helpful.

I believe it's something like 27 inches/70 cm approximately. Can't measure exactly cause my cables are too short for the full extension. Hope that helps.

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.

Unfortunately it's in the camper so I cannot give you dimensions. I have an Anderson hitch, and we had to buy extension legs. And if I had to do it over I would not of purchased this tripod.

It fits a 2 inch hitch and is probably the best rack I have ever owned. NO hanging bicycles as they are securely sitting on the rack. The rack ends are adjustable to fit any size bike and it is light enough to handle on my own.

It's 13" from the center of the hitch pin to the front edge of the carrier. I have a hitch extension on mine from HF. That adds about 10" and raises it about 6" . This makes it almost level with the back door of my land cruiser and makes it far enough away that muffler heat do sent melt anything on the carrier

The rack has a sleeve that fits over the tongue to make it 2". Removing 1 screw on the sleeve makes the rack accommodate a 1 1/4" hitch size

I don't remember exactly, but it's about 10-12 inches thick, 18-24 inches wide and full length of the height of the finished shelves. As long as your car is a pickup truck or suburban, it'll fit. Otherwise, I can't promise either way.

The rack is easy to attach to a 2" or 1 7/8" receiver. There is a bolt, nut and clip you use to secure the rack to the hitch receiver (through the opening where the ball mount pin typically goes). I think you'll find that same type of attachment with most hitch-mounted racks. The rack does have a quick release pin so you can lean the rack about 45 degrees away from the car. This allows you to open your trunk/hatch with the rack still attached. The rack includes additional straps for securing the bikes if necessary. I have this rack attached to a 09 Jeep Liberty.

I am so sorry it took days for me to see your question. Pretty exact 17 inches. I bought two and butted them together for the extended length of 34." I love it. The hooks slide to accommodate items with different widths. I had limited length and this particular rack had close head-space (I guess that is a good way to say it. I hope this helps! Like I said, I love them!!!
