    Buzz Rack tow bar bike rack

    I need a bike rack for two bikes very occasional use. I have a tow bar and have been considering the Buzz Rack Moose or Buffalo racks. Is anyone aware if they tilt enough to allow the tailgate to open? (I know that Altera and Thule have racks which would suit but unfortunately my budget won't suit)

    gap between tailgate and bumper

    My new to me t6 has come with a bumper protection trim but there is little or no gap when the tailgate is down. I don't want to fit the trim and then find its rubbing all the paint off the lower edge of the tailgate. Is there a way to somehow increase the gap? TIA Paul
