Yakima 3 Bike Truck Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Ford Explorer XLT

Question:

I need to be able to fit 3 bikes consistently and dont want to go into a hitch rack because this is a lease vehicle.

The rack that Yakima recommends is the FullBack 3 part # Y02633 which is a confirmed fit and would be a great option. I attached an install video that shows this rack being installed on a similar 2016 Explorer as yours.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
