Helpful Expert Reply:

The Yakima HoldUp comes in 2 versions: one only fits 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers, # Y02445, and the other only fits 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, # Y02443. Also, on the 2 inch version you have the option to add an additional 2-bike extension, # Y02446. You cannot add the extension to the 1-1/4 inch version. Other than that they are exactly the same. I have included video review links for both versions for you.

If you do not know the size hitch receiver you have, measure the width of the opening. If you have a 1-1/4 inch opening, look on the hitch for a sticker that states the Class of the hitch. The 1-1/4 inch version of the rack will only fit Class II hitches. If no Class is listed then look at the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. If it is 200 pounds or lower then you have a Class I hitch. If it is up to 350 pounds then you have a Class II hitch.
