1up bike rack - interfering with backup sensors

I really want a 1up bike rack. I borrowed one once and really like it. Once problem I've found is that when folded up (no bikes), it sits right in front of the backup sensors.

Anyone find a solution to this problem? Maybe using a high clearance hitch or something?

Not my truck, notice how the lower rack sits directly in front of the bumper.

 

I belive they are always going to interfere.. NAy truck I have owned and had somesort of rack on the back they always got in the way.

 

You're not going to work around it, especially if there are bikes on it. I just have to keep my back up sensors disabled so it doesn't beep every time I try backing up. If you have the cross traffic sensors, it doesn't interfere with those.

 

I'm not worried about the noise when bikes are on it.

 

I find the sensor useless, it beeps solid when there is still a full foot or more to go. i have the same 1up. Back up against something and use the lines on the screen to better gauge how far you can really back up.

 

I have a high clearance hitch/extender and it doesn’t make a difference. Folded up or with bikes, the sensors don’t really work still.

 

I agree the backup camera works better but reversing out of parking spaces really helps to see oncoming drivers that don't want to stop.

 

I hated this too. Never found a solution. I ended up adding a front rail with Rocky Mounts. You have to take the tire off, but at least the bikes are locked.
