You need a hitch receiver which you could install yourself (depending on your vehicle), but it's not exactly DIY friendly.
Are those expensive? Is there anything to be on the lockout for those?ej25i wrote: ↑ You need a hitch receiver which you could install yourself (depending on your vehicle), but it's not exactly DIY friendly.
The rack itself is easy to assemble and hook up to your vehicle.
It should fit most SUVs and vehicles as these are universal but there are certain SUVs like older Rav4s or Jeeps that have the spare tire on the back hatch that may interfere with the rack.
That rack can probably accommodate tires up to 2.75" wide if not 3", if anyone needs more than than that (for the Northrock XCF for example), you can get the CCM adapter from CrappyTire for 40$ (maybe less, got it on sale for 25$ around 2 weeks ago): https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ccm- ... 1189p.html (tested on the SportRack Crest 2 Locking with the Northrock XCF).
It has 1 1/4" as a default hitch size and comes with plastic 2" adapter that you can put on top. I personally would not trust a plastic adapter.
Thanks for this, a deal breaker knowing it's a plastic adapter. A shame because most people have a 2" adapterVolodymyrS43417 wrote: ↑ It has 1 1/4" as a default hitch size and comes with plastic 2" adapter that you can put on top. I personally would not trust a plastic adapter.
I'm not a very handy guy so I got mine installed at U-haul. Costs me around $220 for the hitch only (no pin cables) include labor. The hitch costs $150 to buy from U-haul.
Is a U-haul hitch comparable to other hitches around? Any downside to it vs. another hitch? Seems cheap if the website prices include installation.
