Featured Help Information

Category - Roof Mount Bike Racks

Question:

Will this rack fit on a 03 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

asked by: Greg M


Expert Reply:

The Yakima LittleJoe 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack. item # Y02617 is listed as, no fit, in the manufacturers fit guide. At this time Yakima does not offer a trunk mount or roof mount option for your 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Most likely the best option for carrying bikes with your Eclipse is a receiver hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. The Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24712, and the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack, item # TH912XT, would make a good combination. To carry three bikes on the Class I hitch you would need to step up to a aluminum bike rack like the Kuat Alpha 3 Bike Rack, item # A102-BLACK-114, and watch your tongue weight for your vehicle or hitch whichever is lowest.

We also offer a roof rack system from Thule that you could use to carry bikes on the roof of your car with the addition of a roof mounted bike rack (see link).
