LittleJoe 3 is not the biggest or flashiest trunk mounted bike carrier on the Ponderosa, but if you are a part-time rider or on a budget, he just might be perfect for wrangling your two-wheeled steeds.
LittleJoe installs easily with quick-trigger hubs that lock the base in place and a six-strap system to secure the carrier firmly to the vehicle. With a pull and quarter-turn, the hubs are released and the rack can easily be opened or closed to match your vehicle shape. As you turn the knob back, it snaps into place and locks the rack in its current position.
The feet of the carrier feature foam padding that protects your vehicle's paint job from scratches.
The narrow, dual-arm design of the carrier allows you to mount a wide variety of bike styles. The arms feature a vinyl coating to protect the bike's paint job, and load stops keep the bikes from sliding all the way down the arm. LittleJoe does not come with cradles, so securing the bikes to the arms is the responsibility of the owner.
LittleJoe fits a wide variety of vehicles, including minivans and hatchbacks. The carrier comes with glass hatch hooks for mounting on glass trunks or gate mounts and on other hard-to-fit vehicles.
LittleJoe 3 is constructed from sturdy steel and comes backed by a lifetime warranty.

- Will Yakima Rack Y02617 Fit a 2005 Dodge Caravan with Spoiler
- I checked with Yakima and if the spoiler is factory, part # Y02617 should fit just fine, you will just have to route the straps so they do not put any load or strain on the spoiler. This rack comes with glass hooks for hooking into glass hatches.
If the spoiler is a dealer installed or aftermarket item, it may fit, but we would not be able to say for sure.

- 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.
