We're one of the few retailers who can honestly say our shipping exceeds that of Amazon Prime. My Toyota Tacoma is heavy duty, but I expect installing this very heavy rack on a much lighter vehicle might weigh the back end of the car down, causing the front end of the car to rise, which can affect steering and handling. I took a wooden "furniture dolly" with casters, and modified it to act as a "cart" to receive and store the rack in my garage. I use (and recommend) a "strap Wrench" to further tighten and loosen the speed knob, and I simultaneously rock the rack up and down for the anti-rattle wedge to seat fully.Īlso, the rack is VERY heavy and installing and removing it can be very difficult. The "speed knob" for tightening the rack into the hitch receiver gets VERY difficult to turn as the anti-rattle wedge approaches desired fit to avoid rack rattle and "play". Swinging the rack out and back is EXTREMELY easy, and the rack, when installed properly, is very stable. The swing away feature allows me to climb into my truck bed/camper shell without removing the bike. This is a typical Yakima product: well designed, well engineered, and extremely well built.
