    Ugh - maybe this is too obvious, but why not extend the tongue on the Tire gate by a few inches so it's long enough to extend past the curve of the VX back? I know of at least one member who had a Yakima hitch for bikes extended - it wasn't that expensive. Find a local shop to fit some same-size tubing on the end and paint to match.

    I've seen those at AutoZone.

    That'll make it fit but doubt you'll be able to open the rear door with it installed tho.
