Most Popular Yakima for 2019 Jeep Renegade

I had viewed the video and read the instructions. I downloaded the measurements and notes. Having done this I installed the Hang Out 2 on my 2017 Jeep Renegade in about 10 minutes without any problems. I suspect that the whole process would take longer if you don't read the instructions first. It wasn't noticed until I was reading the installation instructions that the bike rack requires a straight frame between the handle bars and the seat. I needed to order a TubeTop for my wife's ladies frame bike. I wish I had known this when I ordered the rack so I could have saved on shipping and had both arrive together. I am very pleased in the ease of putting the rack on my Jeep when needed and removing the rack when not needed. I use a coated steel cable and lock to lock the rack and bikes to the Jeep's frame.

I have now owned my Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack a year now and have had it mounted on my 2017 Jeep Renegade full time and hauled bike all across my home state and to three other states. I have had no issues and the bikes are well secured.

Pretty easy to put on once you figure it out.

Performed perfectly on a 140 mile round-trip in my 2017 Acura MDX. It took me a few tries to position the anchors inside the top of the hatch, but I got the hang of it and the rack did not shift at all while driving 50-60 mph on the highway.

After searching for a bike rack for my 2015 Hyundai Sonata, I settled on the Yakima Fullback 3. I initially wanted a roof rack so I could carry my bikes and kayaks, but my options with the panoramic sunroof were limited and expensive. Part of the Sonata trunk lid is plastic so I was very hesitant to use a trunk mounted rack. It seemed that most Sonata owners were using a trunk mount rack, so I placed my order on a Sunday evening. etrailer shipped it the next day and I received the rack on Thursday. It took about 10 minutes to unpack, read the instructions and install it. I put both my mtb and road bike on and went for a test ride. The rack was more stable than the hitch mounted rack I had on my old vehicle, and the best part was it didn't scratch my paint. It keeps the bike pedals far away from my bumper, and it was one of only a few racks that would clear my factory spoiler. It folds up and I can stick it in my trunk while I ride. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the rack is fairly heavy. It would be nice if Yakima could find a way to lighten it up while keeping the rigidity and price where it is now. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with the rack and the service from etrailer.
