Today we have a 2012 Toyota Highlander, and well be test fitting the Yakima Holdup 2 Hitch-Mounted
Bike Carrier, part number Y02433. To mount the carrier to our vehicle, well insert the
shank of the carrier into the receiver tube of our hitch. Well line up the hitch pinhole,
thread in our anti-rattle bolt, and tighten it down with a wrench. Finally, well secure
the lock on the other end. Next, we want to go over a handful of clearance measurements.
Weve got about 12 inches of ground clearance and about 6 inches of clearance between the
closest part of the carrier and the closest part of the vehicle.
Overall, when folded up, weve added about 14 inches of length to the rear of our vehicle.
Next, well check for rear vehicle access. Well use the pull pin at the base of the rack
in order to fold it down flat. Well open our cargo door and make sure we can still get
to the area. With the carrier folded flat, weve added about 32 inches to the length of
our vehicle.
