Yakima HoldUp2 or Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
As long as you have the Draw Tite hitch part # 76104 installed on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler both the Yakima Holdup # Y02443 and the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G could fold up and clear spare due to the longer hitch tube this has. Now both racks are really nice and I know you'd be happy overall with either, but the big advantage the Kuat has over the Yakima is weight which is why that's what I would recommend. The Yakima weighs 49 lbs and the Kuat weighs 32 which is a sizable difference. Since they are so similar aside from that the Kuat is the winner. I attached review videos for both racks for you to check out as well.
