Today, on our 2013 Ford Edge, well be test fitting the Yakima Doubledown Ace Four-Bike
Carrier for 1-1/4 and Two-inch hitches, Part Number Y02451. Now to begin our test fit,
well simply slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our
pinholes, insert the pin with the red *** into the pinholes and turn the black ***
at the end of the shank to engage the anti-rattle device.Now that our Doubledown Ace is secured
to our Ford Edge, well go over a few clearance measurements to see how they fit together.
We have about 11 inches of ground clearance. Closest part of the carrier to the closest
part of the vehicle here at the rear bumper is about 4-1/2 inches. With the cradle arms
folded down, weve added about ten inches to the overall length of the vehicle.Well now
pull the red lever at the top of the mast to swing the cradle arms out. With the cradle
arms out, weve added an additional 34 inches to the overall length of
the vehicle.
