1up Bike Rack Fit on 5th Gens

[29ftw]

I've got a heavy duty double with an add-on tray (which makes for a heavy rack). I found that when I moved it to the 4runner (from an Ecohitch on a forester) the hitch didn't insert as securely/far in the receiver tube with the spare tire in the way.

What I do to make sure it's tight on the 4runner is give it one more turn with the wrench after bikes are loaded - I've found that snugs it up perfectly if I have a little side to side play.

I received my 1up rack last week. Awesome rack. Build quality is great and it arrived in less than a week. My only question for you other owners is the fit in the 5th Gen receiver. Even when I tighten up the ball, there is still lateral movement. I get that the ball just friction fits the rack in the receiver, but I assumed it would be a super tight fit. Let me know your experience. Thanks.

Don't know if your question is answered or not, but I noticed on my kuat rack it does the same. I decided that the 4runner receiver is really short and the wobble ball doesn't have enough room to bite properly. I believe that is why it wobbles

Are you guys talking about the old style rack or the new Equip D? The new Equip D has a hitch hole whereas the old ones don't.

I know this an old thread, but I was also wondering this..

No wobble in mine either solid as can be.
