I installed a new Rocky Mounts swingaway two-bike carrier this morning in the rain (apologies for the lame photo). I've never used a hitch-mounted rack of any kind before, but this one seems quite solid. I used Rocky Mount's 8 inch extender, and in this folded up position it just barely touches the spare. I wasn't able to test fit the bikes today, but fingers crossed there's no interference.
I promise I folded the step up before drove away.
As a side note, driving around near Union Square in Manhattan today, I saw four new Defenders (3x black, 1x white), had one woman stepping into an Escalade smile and say, "sweet car," and had another woman lean out the window of her Subaru on 6th Ave to snap a few photos of our 110 scream, "That's our
dream car!"
