Comparing Thule Hitching Post and Yakima Ridgeback
Question:
Besides price what are the major differences between the Yakima ridgeback 4 bike Y02458 and the Thule hitching post pro TH934XTR?
asked by: Jack
Expert Reply:
The Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR are both pretty similar in a lot of ways but the Ridgeback basically is a little bit nicer in features.
They both have tilting capabilities, but the Yakima uses levers to operate the tilt of the mast and arms and the Thule requires you to pull a few pins which will add some time to the process.
Also the zip straps of the Yakima are quite a bit easier to operate than the rubber straps of the Thule.
I attached review videos for both tracks as well.
