hitch fit tips
1. CheCk your depth
To ensure a proper Yakima hitch carrier fit, it's important to measure the depth of
your receiver. Determine the hitch depth measurement (A) by doing the following.
With a ruler inserted in the receiver, measure from the center of the hitch mounting
hole to the point where you make contact with an obstacle. This obstacle could be a
hitch backstop (a 'ledge' or 'lip' inside your hitch's receiver that prevent overloading
on Class I hitch receivers). If you already know you have a Class I hitch, measure
the distance to the back-stop. This is measurement A. Using the table below, com-
pare your measurement to see which hitch rack will work with your vehicle.
If you do not contact a back-stop first or your hitch receiver does not have a
back-stop, another potential point of contact could be an undercarriage-
mounted spare tire or the undercarriage itself. Measure back to the spare tire or
undercarriage, whichever you contact first. This is your 'A' measurement. Using the
table below, compare your measurement to see which hitch rack will work with
your vehicle. Your measurement A needs to be equal or greater to the product
measurement listed in the table below for a proper fit of a Yakima hitch rack
If your vehicle has a bumper or a rear-mounted spare tire, proceed to step 2
and 3.

receiver to the end of your bumper. This is fit measurement B.

* Based on variances in bumper and rear-mounted spare tire heights, you may have more or less clearance than what is

stated on this chart. When you are fitting a hitch rack, it is always good to visit an authorized Yakima dealer first, to

3. CheCk your spare tire*
If you have a spare tire on the back of your vehicle it may interfere with the
installation of your Yakima hitch rack. This guideline will help you make sure
it won't get in the way.
Measure the distance from the center of the mounting hole on your hitch
receiver to the end of your spare tire. This is fit measurement C.
