A contemporary design and unique, red paint finish make the SuperJoe a stylish way to transport three bikes on the trunk of your sedan, hatchback, minivan or SUV.
A QuickTrigger hub system takes the strain and frustration out of fitting the rack to your Ford Explorer. Just turn the dials to adjust the padded rack feet, and they conform to the contours of your Ford Explorer, providing solid footing for the rack.
The SuperJoe Pro attaches to your Ford Explorer with a built-in, six-strap system. The strap buckles are labeled to make setup a snap, and the hooks ensure that the bike rack is properly anchored to your Ford Explorer.
The bike rack includes StableCradle anti-sway cradles that hold your bikes securely in place with rubber straps. The cradles prevent the bikes from rocking back and forth during transport and also help keep them from hitting your Ford Explorer.
The narrowly spaced arms of the bike rack are perfect for loading bikes of varying shapes and sizes.
SuperJoe Pro comes with glass hatch hooks for installing the unit on Ford Explorers with glass hatchbacks or gate mounts and on other hard-to-fit Ford Explorers. These anchors replace the standard strap-and-hook assemblies on your bike rack and mount through the hatch opening of your Ford Explorer.

Video Transcript for Yakima SuperJoe Pro Trunk Bike Rack Review - 2012 Ford Focus
Today on our 2012 Ford Focus were going to be test fitting the Yakima Super Joe Pro 3 trunk mounted bike rack part #: Y02630. To mount our bike rack we need to adjust the opening according to the instructions. With the bike rack in the proper position were now ready to mount it to our vehicle. Were going to set the upper support frame on top of our trunk and the lower support frame will rest right on the license plate. Well use the upper strap hooks at the top of our trunk right by the windshield. The lower strap hooks will be at the bottom edge of the trunk and well put the side straps on the side of the trunk just below the taillights.
Once all the straps are in position and tightened down were ready to load our bike. Well fit the bike over the arms of the bike rack and set it down into the cradles. Then well use the straps to secure the bike in the cradles. With that our bikes all loaded up and were ready to go. That does it for our test fit of the Yakima Super Joe Pro 3 trunk mounted bike rack part #: Y02630 on our 2012 Ford Focus..

Do you have a question about this Trunk Bike Racks?
- Compatability of theYakima Super Joe Pro 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack with the 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
- Neither Yakima nor Thule make a trunk mounted bike rack that is compatible with your Eclipse.
The best option for carrying bikes with your Eclipse is a receiver hitch and hitch mounted bike rack used in conjunction with a roof mounted bike rack. The Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24712, and the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Rack, item # TH9028, would make a good combination. Any rack used in a Class I receiver will be limited to carrying two bikes. Any additional bikes would place t

- Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack for a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero with a Rear Spoiler
- Yakima has done a test fit of one of their trunk mount bike racks on an Oldsmobile Alero with a rear spoiler, but it was not the SuperJoe Pro 3, # Y02630. Instead, they have tested the KingJoe 3, # Y02620, and it is a fit. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across from handle bars to seat post, I recommend using the Yakima Tube Top, # Y02531, in order to keep the bikes level.

- Yakima SuperJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack # Y02630 for 2005 Toyota Matrix
- Given your budget, I would suggest a trunk/hatch mounted bike rack. The Yakima SuperJoe Pro, part # Y02630 would be ideal for your needs. The SuperJoe Pro features padded anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes securely in place. It is also one of the more attractive options that we offer. The arms on the SuperJoe Pro are 12-3/4 inches apart, so as long as the top tubes on the bikes you are wanting to use are at least that long, this rack would be a good choice for you.

- Will the Yakima SuperJoe 3 Bike Rack Fit on a 2008 Honda Pilot and a 2005 Subaru Legacy Sedan
- Yakima does list the SuperJoe Pro 3 bike rack, # Y02630, for your 2005 Legacy Sedan, but at this time we do not have a trunk mount bike rack option for the 2008 Honda Pilot. And on the Subaru, you have to use the glass hook adapter so you would be limited to just 2 bikes even though the rack can hold 3.
In your case I would recommend trailer hitches and a trailer hitch mounted bike rack for several reasons. First, access to the back of your vehicles will be much better with a hitch mount rack

- Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan and Klein Mantra Bike
- None of the hanging style trunk mount bike racks are going to work with the standard straps and the tall frame on your Klein Mantra bike. You could possibly find your own straps but extra long replacements are not available.
The best option is to go with a trailer hitch, # 24710, and a hitch mount bike rack compatible with a Class I trailer hitch # S64670. I have included some informational links on the hitch and bike rack for you.

- Trunk and Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Honda CR-V
- We also have the same installation note on our site if you enter the vehicle in through our fit guide and then click on trunk mount bike racks (see link). Specifically, the note says Requires use of Yakimas Glass Hatch Hook accessory in place of the upper strap hooks. One set of the Glass Hatch Hooks is included with each Yakima Trunk Carrier. Limited to 2 bikes maximum. You will need a second set for the lower straps, use # Y02612.
So basically, the way that the SuperJoe Pro, # Y02630, it re

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 3 Bikes on a 2003 Toyota 4Runner
- We do have several 3 bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit a 2003 Toyota 4Runner and I have included a link to them for you. If you want one that is the easiest to install and remove that would be the Thule Raceway 3, # TH9002.
This bike rack uses 4 retractable cables rather than 6 straps like other racks. As a result, the rack is the quickest and easiest to install of all the trunk mount racks I have seen. It also has a clean installed look because there are no straps to flap in the wind

- Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and Brake Controller on a 2002 Ford E-350 Cutaway Ambulance
- A lot depends on what the factory 7-Way wiring is being used for. You may not want to tap into it if it is used for critical functions that might overload the circuitry in the event both are used at the same time. What I recommend is what you have suggested and adding a 4-Way to the tail lights, # 118344, provided the tail lights are the same on your cutaway as the regular E series van.
If they are different then I recommend a powered converter, # 119146 and wiring kit # 118151. This will ge

- Bike Rack Options for a 2006 Scion tC
- I checked with Yakima and they confirm that the Yakima SuperJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack # Y02630 will fit as a trunk mounted bike rack for your 2006 Scion tC. As long as you do not overload the rack you should be fine.
I did find a thread on the internet where someone with a 2007 tC had a problem while using trunk mounted bike rack. It was a different brand and without knowing if the rack was overloaded or misused it would be hard to say if you would have the same problem. Most likely you would not,

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2001 Subaru Forester
- There are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2001 Subaru Forester and I have included a link to them for you. The Yakima SuperJoe Pro 3, # Y02630, that you have referenced will fit as well. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # Y02531. This will allow you to carry the bikes more level and provide better ground clearance. I have included a link to a video sho
