Yakima CopperHead Bike Rack Review

I would be careful if you own a 2008 or newer Trek My girlfriends Trek 7300 didn't fit AT ALL on this rack. The forks hit your round bars before they get close to the Copperhead. Get the Yakima Viper and be done with it. The Viper works with every bike. Don't bother with the Steelhead either if you have a Trek 7300. The right fork bottoms out on that.

Curt Manufacturing 11050 Class I Receiver Review

Great build quality and easy install, unless you have an 09 Yaris S 3door Liftback, I guess the rear bumpber is different(even though it is OEM)so it pushes up on the underside of the bumper causing it to lift and close the gap between the tail-lights and quarter panels. Will have to make or purchase some custom spacers (more cost) or cut the bottom of the bumper to release the stress...otherwise great hitch?

Curt Manufacturing 13509 Class III Receiver Review

This hitch looks great on my 2007 RAV 4 Sport, positions just the right height for my trailers. It's a strong clean design that should last as long as my vehicle.
The hitch should install in 30 minutes or less, but mine took hours. The holes would not align with the vehicles, really far off. I called the tech support line, they said the hitch was likely dropped on end during shipping, and bent the hitch. The tech said this is a fairly common problem and the were looking to improve the shipping carton. Judging from the box damage, I'd say the shipper tossed it off a building. Support suggested using a jack to spread the hitch out again. Using blocks of wood and a hydraulic bottle jack after many tries I was able to bend it to the right size. The hitch suffered many scratches in the powder coat, so I top coated it with rustoleum paint, hope it holds up.
I like the way the hitch is put together, it's design won't trap water and salt to prompt rust like some other hitches, so hopefully this will outlast my vehicle. It would be nice if the designed a tab to mount the wiring on the hitch. If it wasn't bent and scratched, I would have rated this 5 stars.

Yakima Fork Lift Fork Mount Rooftop Bike Rack Review

The Yakima Fork Lift Rooftop Bike Rack is so far the best fork mount style rooftop rack that I have seen or used. One of the nicest features with this rack is that it mounts to factory cross bars as well as aftermarket round or square bars. It mounted very easily to my Subaru factory bars. The skewer mechanism is easily tightened and locked with one hand which leaves your other hand free to hold the bike steady or eat a burger. I also added the lock core to ensure that the fork skewer remains closed during travel. I spent way too much time comparing different racks but I am very glad that I purchased this one!

Yakima's first-ever fork rack with direct-to-factory crossbar capability right out of the box, the Fork Lift rooftop bike rack install on your vehicle with no fuss and no tools. The Fork Lift is equipped with a secure and lockable skewer with an integrated adjustment knob, making it easy to adjust the skewer with one hand (the SKS lock cores are sold separately). The easy-to-maneuver sliding wheel tray, meanwhile, accommodates several sizes and types of bikes--just position the tray under the rear wheel and lock it in place. Finally, the Fork Lift's sleek design and automotive finish looks extremely spiffy on your vehicle. Compatible with round, square, and most factory crossbars, the Fork Lift comes with Yakima's lifetime warranty.
