Question:

Is the Yakima Ridgeback 4-bike rack recommended for/compatible with a 2020 Telluride?

asked by: Brian

Expert Reply:

The Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike Rack # Y02458 is absolutely compatible and a fantastic choice for a 2020 Kia Telluride.

When we installed a trailer hitch on a 2020 Telluride, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13420, we found that it was 4-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to clear the bumper, and the RidgeBack is a full 9-1/2 inches from the pin to the closest part of the rack, so you will have more than enough clearance to use the rack.

The RidgeBack is a premier 4-bike rack because it is so easy to use; you only need to turn a knob to get it to tighten in the hitch, saving you from having to use a tool to secure an anti-rattle bolt like so many other racks. It also comes with a lock to secure it to your hitch, and to protect the investments you made in your bikes you can add the Yakima HandCuff Cable Lock # Y02466.

Just keep in mind that with hanging bike racks, if you have a step-through frame, small child's bike or other alternative frame bike you will need to provide them with a horizontal mounting point by adding an adapter bar, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike Rack # Y02458.
