Thule Vertex / Apex Hitch Rack Installation

We have installed thousands of these racks! Thule makes a great product and the installs are pretty straightforward if you know the steps!

This is 100x more informative than the instructions that came in the box!! Thanks so much.

*Really great **Latest.Bike** trunk mount rack! Works well with my Honda civic & the price is affordable. Would recommend ✔*

Slim, QUIET, works great. I wanted modern and out of the way. This is it!

Thanks for this! Been meaning to install our Apex for a while and was curious on how easy it is to install.

Awesome video.

I literally came here just to confirm I installed my apex correctly.. seemed too easy.

Easier to understand than the instructions . The question I have is, does the ups and down bar have a little wiggle or does it need to be solid with no give?

Excellent video! Thankyou. But you said there would be a second video demonstrating how to load 5 bikes on? I can’t find that.... can you show me the link? Thankyou :)

Do bike racks usually stay with the car or removed and put away? If that's easy to remove, do they get stolen when you park at a store or something?

Thank you for the advice! This is super helpful!!

Hi. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Quick question: for the Vertex, do I need a bolt that goes all the way through? I bought a used 2” and noticed the bolt does not go through the other side.

Thanks again!

Where do you get a receiver? How do you know your car can get a receiver?

What about the 2 hex bolts it comes with?!

This is missing the details I need. For the Apex there are two lock screws included but no instructions where they both go.
