Recommended Bike Rack for a 2014 Toyota Yaris SE 5-Door Hatchback

Question:

Hi - You seem like experts! I dont like messing with the hatchback-mount bike racks, and would like to utilize a hitch rack. What works best on a 2014 Toyota Yaris SE 5-door hatchback? Thoughts? Thanks!

I wish I could give you a hitch mounted option but according to our manufactures no one makes a hitch for your Yaris SE modeled vehicle, but I do have another option for you.

A roof mounted option would be great for your Yaris. I have linked all the roof racks that will fit your 5-door Yaris hatchback SE. One of the most popular among our customers with your vehicle is the Thule SquareBar Roof Rack made up of # TH712200, # TH480R, and # THKIT1427.

Square bars are currently the most universal style for accessories on the market. The clamps will simply mount into the frame of your door and hold the roof rack to your vehicle.

A nice roof mounted bike rack is the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103. This bike rack will mount on the square bars with no adapter needed and is a wheel mounted design so you will not have to remove the front tire like on some of the fork mounted bike racks require, which makes it easier to load and unload. I have linked a review video of this rack for you to check out.
