Today on our 2013 Kia Sorento, well be test fitting the Yakima DoubleDown Ace 4 Bike Carrier,
part number Y02451. To begin our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier into the
opening of the hitch, align up our pinholes, insert the pin with the red head into the
hitch pinhole and well then turn the black *** located at the base of the carrier to
engage our anti-rattle device. Now well go ahead and go over a handful of clearance measurements
to see how the bike carrier and this vehicle will fit together. There is 10 inches of ground
clearance. The closest part of the vehicle to the closest part of the carrier is about
5 inches. With the cradle arms folded down weve added about 10 inches to the overall
length of the vehicle. With the cradle arms folded out weve added about 32 inches to the
overall length of the vehicle. To access the cargo area, well pull the red
*** located at the back of the base of the carrier and tilt the carrier down. This will
allow you to access the cargo door. To load the bike, well make sure that the mast is
in its upright position. Well pull the red lever located at the top of the mast to swing
the cradle arms out. Well undo the cradle straps, set the bike into the frame cradles
and secure it with the straps. That completes todays test fit for the Yakima DoubleDown
Ace 4 Bike Carrier, part number Y02451 on our 2013 Kia Sorento.
