Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack Compatibility with 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
Question:
Yakima SwingDaddy. Will this fit a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara jl? Or do we need an extender?
asked by: Steven W
Expert Reply:
The Yakima SwingDaddy 4 Bike Rack has a distance from center of hitch pin hole to top of upright bar of 9 inches. If you don't already have this hitch, then you may want to consider the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 which has that same 9 inches from the hitch pin. Depending on the hitch length and the tire width, you may or may not need a hitch extender like the Curt # C45791. Using a hitch extender will reduce the hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50% which shouldn't be an issue with this bike rack, but is important to recognize if used for other accessories as well. You will also need a hitch lock like # e98880 with this extender to secure your investment.
I also recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 for any step-thru frames.
