Today on our 2012 Honda Pilot, well be test fitting the Yakima DoubleDown Ace four bike
carrier, part number y02451. To begin our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier
into the opening of the hitch, line up our pin holes, insert the pin with the red ***
into the pin hole, and turn the black *** to engage our anti-rattle device. Now with
the carrier secured to the vehicle, well go over a few clearance measurements to see how
the bike carrier and this vehicle will fit together. Theres about 18-1/2 of ground clearance,
the closet part of the carrier to the closet part of the vehicle here at the rear bumper
is about eight inches, with the cradle arms folded down weve added about 13 to the overall
length of the vehicle. Well now go ahead and pull the red lever at the top of the mast
to swing the cradle arms out and well measure from the vehicles cargo door to the end of
the carriers cradle arms and we get a measurement of 44. To access the cargo area, well lift
up the red pin at the back of the carrier to tilt the mast down; this will allow us
to have access to our cargo door. To load the bike well make sure that the mast
is in its upright position, well undo the cradle straps, set the bike into the frame
cradles and secure them with the straps. That completes todays test fit of the Yakima DoubleDown
Ace four bike carrier, part number y02451 on our 2012 Honda Pilot. .
