Hey, fellow Bronco owners,

I need some advice on purchasing a bike rack for my 21 FE 2-door Bronco. I am getting back into mountain biking and realized today that the last time I had a mountain bike I owned a Ranger. Needless to say, I can't throw the bike in the bed..

I have been looking around but I cannot find any racks that fit with the spare tire in the back. What would you all suggest? I would like to order one soon so I can get back out on the bike trails!

There is this one. I have heard some folks have it and like it. It is no frills but works.

This adds up quick, but I got the Kuat pivot and it's so much better than the hitch extension I was using: https://www.rei.com/product/169967/kuat-pivot-v2-swing-away-rack-adapter-passenger-side-swing

I have a Kuat rack I really like and can now use it (and get the bikes out of the way).

I also got a 1UP USA cargo rack (photo) and I'm very tempted to get one of their bike racks assuming the quality is just as good as the cargo rack.

Haven't had the bikes on yet with this setup but it all tucks up very nicely to the spare without adding tailgate weight and swings to 120 degrees (I did put a tailgate limiter on). I do have 34" KO3s on and no rub so the stock sasquatch tire should be fine.

U can use a tow hitch extender found at harbor freight which allows a standard bike rack to fit

I have a 1Up USA bike rack and purchased the Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extension. Works great
