Will the Yakima Ridgeback 4 Fit a 2006 Ford Explorer with 2 inch Hitch
Question:
will it fit my 06 Ford Explorer, with 2 inch reciever?
asked by: Phil
Expert Reply:
Yes, since your 2006 Ford Explorer has a 2 inch hitch like the Draw Tite hitch part # 75437 installed on it the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack part # Y02458 will work for you.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar # Y02531 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
