What would the clearance from the bumper of a 2006 Toyota solara SLE convertible be with the swagman XC-extended platform style style 2 bike carrier on a Class I or class 2? Thank you

To determine if you have enough clearance to install you will need to take one measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin on your hitch out to the furthest point out on the rear of your vehicle. This will tell you what clearance is needed on a bike rack to clear the bumper on your Toyota Solara SLE.
This rack has a distance of 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin out to the upright portion of the rack.
If the distance you measure is less than that you should have no problem installing the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier # S64650-EXT on your vehicle.
