Today on our 2010 Scion XB, well be test fitting the Yakima Double Down Ace four bike carrier for inch and a quarter and two inch hitches, part number y02451. A quick note on this bike rack, it will work in both inch and a quarter and two inch hitches, however, when using a class I hitch you are limited to two bikes. Now weve already gone ahead and removed our two inch adapter, so well slide our bike rack shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole, and install the attached hitch pin. With the hitch pin in we can move to the back of the shank where well tighten the knob down securing our bike rack to the vehicle. Now well go ahead and give you a few measurements, our ground clearance at the bike rack is 10 inches, and from the closet point of the bike rack to the back of the vehicle is six inches. Well now go ahead and pull the pin on the back of the bike rack mast to allow the mast to tilt down.
We can then open our cargo door and as you can see we can gain access to the cargo area opening our cargo door completely with this bike rack. Well now go to the top of the bike rack mast where well pull the switch to bring out our duel arms, we can then undo the straps to expose our cradles, well place the bike into the cradles and bring the straps around securing our bike to the bike rack and thats it our bike is loaded and were ready to head out on the road and that completes our test fit of the Yakima Double Down Ace four bike carrier, part number y02451 on our 2010 Scion XB.
