FullBack

After doing some comparison research & then reading the reviews about the Fullback 2 bike I decided it was the right rack for my vehicle. It’s sturdy & looks great

Application: '10 Subaru Outback Limited
Positives: Price, easy to install, compact storage, fits "regularly" configured older children to adult bikes, no need for a hitch mount, because it's high off the ground no need to worry about clearance when backing into steep slopes that transitions abruptly (versus bike racks on hitches that hang under the bumper) and some short-term security (lock and key included to lock bikes onto the rack; security nylon strap).
Negatives: May be better suited for rear windows that are angled as opposed to more vertical rear windows; if you don't read the directions and mount the bottom to your plastic bumper, your bumper may get a dent; this requires a bit of "artistry" to figure out the sweet spot to place the bottom portions of the rack near your license plate area, I'd go for the lowest part, but the directions do have a place it tells you where you're supposed to place it; because the weight is pulling on the liftgate (for the Subaru Outback), it loosens up the top portion of the liftgate and could allow enough clearance for water to enter past the liftgate seals.

I got a newer model 2021 Outback so had to upgrade my bicycle rack. Bought this through REI so I could do a curbside pickup. The upper strap clips were missing but Yakima support got them to me pretty much the next day. Once I had all the correct parts, it was easy to fit and install based on instructions and videos. If we upgrade to e-bikes we would need to get a hitch mount rack due to weight capacity. For now, this will work great. It folds easy for storage, but like another poster mentioned in the heat the locks seem hard to turn.

Perfect fit. Super sturdy. Taken it out twice so far and have had no problems. The 2022 Elantra N Line has yet to have a hitch manufactured, and I was tired of waiting for a year. Although trunk racks are not preferred by most, I had no choice but to go for this, as roof racks were too expensive. I have taken it out twice, hitting up 100km/hr on the freeway. Rock Solid. I spent a lot of time reviewing many trunk bike racks, and I am delighted this one worked for me. I have ordered covers for my pedals to avoid scratching the paint while mounting the bike. The bike has minimal sway on the move and does not come in contact with the trunk.

Bought this for my '16 Equinox. Appropriate fit. So lid. Strong. Easily secured BUT from Day 1 the locking system is so tough to turn. Eventually with strength, determination and patience I lock and unlock the arms .NO IDEA how to fix the resistance to turning. Any videos don't even hint at a similar problem. Hot weather only makes the locking mechanism tighter. Frustrating.

Overall, it works well. Kind of hard to get two small size gravel bike frames on there but we can make it work with the drop bars of one bike woven through the spokes of the other bike. We haven't used the rack to vehicle anti-theft system bc I haven't been able to get the strap through the slot between the hatchback and the back of either vehicle, though I only tried once. The cord on the rack to bike lock is pretty short but we've been able to use it. The ZipStrips have survived 3 months of regular use and are pretty nice. I'm docking a star bc it's so. freakin. heavy. It makes the hatchback of the Crosstrek slam shut hard if you don't hold tight to it. It doesn't slam the door of the Sienna but be careful closing the door with the rack arms extended. One guy posted a youtube review of this rack and talked about getting hit in the head hard with the rack arms. I thought, "What a moron. I'll never do that." But I almost took myself out during a period of brain fog after a long ride. It could happen to you...Related to the concussion hazard, I think the sharp edge of the bottle opener just makes the arms more dangerous. Booby traps aside, it's a solid bike rack.

I have a decent fit on Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The rack is a lot heavier than my previous rack, however it seems to be made well. I guess time will tell on the ratcheting type moving arms and such. So far , so good.

I bought Fullback 3 used at REI parking lot sale and fantastic on 2015 Subaru Legacy. No problem loading 2-3 bikes. However, tried to install and use on wife's 2016 Toyota Prius and not so easy install and open the hatchback with it on not as easy as Subaru. Still this is my second Yakima bike rack still have my first one just in case I ever go back to an SUV.

I installed the fullback 2 perfectly, according to instructions - hub setting, anchors, positioning on car - even had my bike shop check it when I went to pick up my bikes. Drove around 2 miles before I noticed that the rack looked slightly lower than originally positioned. When I pulled over, I saw that my top rear spoiler had buckled. No photos because I immediately removed the bikes and racks in a frenzy to not cause further damage. Thankfully, the spoiler popped back into shape. So glad I noticed before driving any farther. I'll give the rack a try on my Subaru WRX, but it's definitely not for the X3.

I was shopping for months/year for a 3 bike rack. My tow hitch was to small for a 3 bike rack, I was too short for roof racks and I did not want to buy a bigger vehicle just to take the whole family out of town to ride bikes. No where on the internet could I fine one that would fit....until I went to REI they suggested I look up my car and see if this rack would fit, to my surprise and relief the 2017 Chevrolet Volt was listed. I immediately ordered it , due to high demand I had to wait a month. When it came, in the REI parking lot I slapped it on my truck. It was perfect. It fits 3 bikes ranging from adult 6ft to a child 4ft. I read reviews a about bending and denying the trunk, I did places it with great car to insure the best results and when I took it off there was no evidence I had even used it. I am very impressed and I love that If I need use it on a different car it will most likely also fit.
