I don't have a good picture of the hitch rack by Yakima. I do have this one and yeah, it looks like the tandem doesn't fit

It has an extension for two more bikes which I have used.

When the Evoque was purchased, I had fantasies of takeing bikes with it. It didnt' have a roof rack so one was purchased on Amazon that was suppose to be like the factory. It fit well. Then I did CL searches and found cross bars and the tray/fork combo at significantly lower cost.

I also use it on the Jeep which is in very slow restoration with lift. I can cary 6 total with the hitch mount. all my bikes under 22 lbs with few exceptions so lifting is not an issue. If alone, I can also put one in the back seat with the front wheel removed. This later approach is the easiest and most secure.


Of the two, I like the roof mount better. I can leave it attached even though the hitch is easier to mount. I do lock the hitch mount to the receiver and can lock the bikes to the rack in all cases. The only issue with the hitch mount is mounting "ladies" bikes. I have not had a problem with bent TT with the hitch mount.
