Question

Question:

Hello! I’m looking for a trunk bike rack, at least 2 bikes, for the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus. When I use the search feature on the website doesn’t seem to be one…Options? I have the Yakima Full back 2 bike rack. Many thanks for your help

Hey Amanda, thanks for reaching out!

Your Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2025 Lincoln Nautilus just fine, but you'll need to put the hooks into "anchor mode" when you install it.

The FullBack is my favorite trunk bike rack because of how easy it is to use and install. I actually shot a video on it for a 2020 Audi Q7 a few years back that I'm linking for you to see it in action, and I go over the whole "anchor mode" situation at the 3:24 minute mark.

What do you think of this bike rack?

Thank you so much! What a relief- I just bought that bike rack last year from the site. It’s my first bike rack and haven’t any issues, so I’m pleased with it. I don’t see the link to video with the install- I’d love to view it, please send! Thank you, Amanda

@JonG Thank you so much for your help! Thrilled I didn’t have to buy a new bike rack. I was able to install it myself using your video as guidance! Thank you!

The trailer hitches made for your 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback are Class I rated and come with a 1-1/4" receiver. The only way to use a 2" accessory with it is to use an adapter, but that will reduce the weight capacity by 50% which you don't…
