Hitch accessories
A tilting bike rack lets you open the hatch without unloading every bike. Practice the tilt latch with empty arms first, and keep hands clear of pinch points.

Latch habits
Support the rack, release the tilt, lower gently, then secure before you drive. A half-latched tilt on the highway is a failure mode — listen for the lock.
Clearance
Tilt needs space behind the bumper. On a slope, chock the vehicle and keep bikes strapped so they cannot slide during the tilt.
