November 30, 201312 yr Hi, thinking of changing my car in the new year. Quite fancy an x-type but would like to know if they are any good with a bike rack on. I know they will have plenty of power as I will be going for the diesel. My only concern really is ground clearance at the back when laden with the bike, They do seem to sit lower than my current car which is a Mondeo. Would like to hear from anyone who is using an x-type with a bike rack. Many thanks, Stephen.
November 30, 201312 yr i cannot see a problem,ive had bike racks on loads of cars,inc mini,metro.make sure you get right tow bar as some cars are fitted with swan neck.it has to be type with 2 bolts for tow ball.
November 30, 201312 yr the x type pretty much is a mondeo it should be fine but as above you need the flange type tow bar
December 1, 201312 yr Agree with Nelly ^^^. Same engine, steering and suspension even same keys. Just a different badge!
December 1, 201312 yr http://mad-suspension.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=2 I had these fitted to my Nissan when the weight of an LPG tank in the boot and a bike rack proved to much for the suspension
