Will the Yakima RidegBack Bike Rack Clear The Spare Tire on My 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
Question:
Hi, I’m looking at this Yakima ridge back bike rack. I have a 2021 jeep wrangler Rubicon. I’m wondering if it will fit the jeep with the tire mounted on the rear? Is there any horizontal adjustment in the lower portion that attaches to the hitch to extend it out?

Expert Reply:
The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457 does not have any horizontal adjustment, however this bike rack does have a tilting feature when the bikes are unloaded which can allow for full rear-cargo access.
Since you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle, I recommend using a hitch extender Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075.
This will push the receiver of your hitch on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler 7-3/4" to allow for more room for your spare tire.
