Thule Tow Bar-mounted Bike Racks- can you open boot?

After having our bikes roof mounted on the Cayenne, the lack of roof bars and sheer height of the FFRR mean I'll be going down the tow bar-mounted rack.

Having used Thule racks in the past and being very happy with them they will be my first choice. I prefer a rack that supprt the bike wheels to stop the bikes rattling together. Ideally I'd like a rack that can carry 4 bikes in the future so it looking like one of the Euroclassic racks- I'm scouring ebay!

I know the Thule racks tip down to allow boot access. I was wondering if anyone has used them on a FFRR and if so does it allow the lower tail gate to be lowered as well as the top?

I use the Thule Easyfold on mine and everything clears with no issues at all.

2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I had one on a D3 and it tilted away from the car so you could open easily... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I use Thule's easy fold and Westfalia's BC60, Thule much better but 50% more expensive:

Thanks for the advice guys.

I did use the search facility could only find references to the Thule Easyfold which I don't think can be expanded to hold 4 bikes, as well as other 3 bike racks. It's useful to know these racks clear the boot and hopefully it means the Euroclassic will as well. I was wondering if anyone has any specific experience with the Euroclassic racks.
