There is an option for a 2-bike rack for your 2022 Ford Bronco with the Sasquatch package that includes 315/70-17 tires, assuming you have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C76WR. The reason I say that is because when we installed this on a Bronco with standard tires 255/70-16 tires (which are 10" wide), it measured 12" from the center of the hitch pin hole to clear the spare.

Your 315/70-17 tires are 12.4" wide, so we know with the # C76WR hitch you'll need a rack with just under 14-1/2" of clearance. If you have an OEM hitch the measurement should be very close, but you'll want to measure the spare tire clearance to make sure. So with that in mind, the one rack that will work if from Saris:

- Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F

The SuperClamp EX # SA4025F measures 15" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack and 17" to the closest wheel tray, which is really what we want to look for as that will tell you how close your bikes will be to the spare, so it leaves you with a couple inches of clearance of your bikes from the spare.

This rack will not only fit, it's also light at just 35 lbs so it's easy to handle, can can hold bikes with up to 4-1/2" wide tires that weigh up to 60 lbs (per bike).
