Overview

Driving a SUV, and especially a Ford Bronco, naturally induces an adventurous spirit to road trippers and explorers. One common accessory that amplifies the joy of adventure is a bicycle carrier. In this article, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on installing the Yakima Hitch Mounted Tilting Bicycle Carrier on your Ford Bronco SUV. This carrier can comfortably accommodate two bikes and tilts down for convenient rear-of-vehicle access.

Features of the Yakima Hitch Mounted Tilting Bicycle Carrier

The Yakima hitch mounted tilting bicycle carrier is specially designed for seamless integration with your Ford Bronco. It requires a two-inch receiver, which can be installed as part of the Bronco trailer hitch assembly if not already in place.

The carrier also requires a hitch extension supplied by Yakima to ensure that it clears the spare tire mounted on the rear of the Bronco. These accessories along with other Ford-approved ones are available at the official Ford accessories site. The package comes with the items necessary for installation and your bikes will be safely secured for your next adventure.

The carrier's construction includes an intelligent design feature that allows the knob to turn freely after being locked. This assures you of the security of your bikes while you're off trailing.

Service & Installation

The installation process of the Yakima Bike Carrier on your Ford Bronco is straightforward, with all the necessary hardware provided right in the package. This includes a hitch extension, hitch bolt and washer, safety pin, spine bolt, tray assembly bolts, washers and nuts, and of course, the wrenches.

All you need to do is correctly insert the hitch extension with the label facing up, align the holes and install with the hitch bolt and washer. Insert the safety pin followed by the tongue of the bike carrier into the hitch extension. The red knob tightens to the right and locks with a key while the cover offers protection from dirt and dust.

The lower and upper tray assemblies are easily installed using the bolts, washers and nuts that you removed. Once everything is assembled and tightened, your Yakima hitch mounted tilting bicycle carrier is ready to carry your bikes for your next outdoor adventure.
