Which Bike Rack are you using on the Bronco? 🚴‍♀️

[thompsdw]

We have a couple heavy ebikes that we carry in the receiver on our Wildtrack. I put an extension on the Bronco, but I still cannot access the rear cargo area even with the rack tilted down. I am looking at a swing away bike rack now, but want to verify that one will work with the spare tire. What are you guys using and does it work?

Kuat Pivot V3 works for two on trays. Going any bigger and I'd get the XD.

Kuat is a great company, fantastic products and support if you need it. Swing out to driver or passenger side and detents at 90* and 120* just like factory tailgate.

I have used Northshore racks and Kuat tray racks.

I don't carry bikes since I'm not a masochist, but I do use one of those Kuat pivoting thingies for my cargo carrier/camp box.

It can swing either way (not judging), clears the spare and is solid. It has a nice internal tensioner so it doesn't rattle around like your neighbors 33 year old lawnmower.

We use a 1UP RACK for,2 electric bikes. Love the rack, super solid and well-engineered, but also can’t open the tailgate with it on.

I’m using a Young Rack 2-E-bikes, 200#. Instead of a straight extension, I used a drop-down extension with 4” drop. I can tilt the bike down and still get into the tailgate. Can’t open it fully, but it’s been enough to get by.

+1 for the Kuat, and their swing away hitch mount. I have two full powered electric mountain bikes on mine and they’re rock solid

The E-Spec Pro / Swagman – Swagman (US)

Has worked well for the 2 times of use, found a new one on marketplace for well below this price.

Look at the 1UP Rak Attach options they offer. They are expensive but their quality and customer service is superb. I think that you might not need the extension with this option.

I use a 1-Up with extended hitch. I can tilt the bike rack down (with no bikes on) and open the tailgate. It's close but it works.

How does the pivot mount into the hitch? Some of them have a bolt which goes from driver side to passenger and with the Ford hitch stuff, I wouldn't be able to thread it in.

If you are considering a 1UP, then also check out the Quikr Stuff rack. https://quikrstuff.com
It is designed by the same engineer who did the 1UP. He basically took every feature of the 1UP and improved on it. So it is a little more expensive than the 1UP, but much easier for one person to handle (modular design), requires no tools to install, folds for easier storage, has ramps for heavier ebikes. It is an engineering marvel.
