Rear Hatch Clearance w/ a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica and the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack

Question:

Will the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2inch Hitches - Wheel Mount work with 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid? We would like to know if this is tilted, the hatch of Pacifica will open and it won’t touch or hit the bike on the rack?

The rear hatch of your 2022 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid will come in contact with the front bike when the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes item # Y02443-2 is tilted down. One thing to consider with the HoldUp is that even if you had full access with the rack tilted it's going to be extremely heavy to raise and lower with the weight of four bikes on it.

Instead of the HoldUp, I recommend the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack item # Y02465. This hanging-style, 4-bike rack features a hinged arm in its base that allows it to swing out and away from the rear of your Pacifica. It has a total weight capacity of 150 pounds and up to 40 lbs per bike.

I have linked a review video below so you can see some of the functions of the FullSwing demonstrated.
