Great video that covered what I needed to know as far as how easy it is to install both the single and add on, and can figure out how easy it is to remove and adjust. I really like how solid it is which makes up for slightly more effort to adjust. Nice work!
@@BenCarano I just ordered the super duty one yesterday. It was between this and the Mach1 that is 1/3 more expensive. I plan to just leave it on most of the time so this one is perfect. So much better than the other others that can rust apart, and look super bulky. The 1up looks great, rugged, and can add on another trey or accessories. I"m going to get the LED brake light also, or something off eBay.. Been rear ended a few times. Your video was so much better that some of the others that complained about minor things.
@@ceciljohn09 Yah I've left mine on the truck since I bought it and absolutely no issues with rust or corrosion! Just the anodized colors are basically faded to white now but i don't mind
@@BenCarano Just installed mine and love it! Exceeded my expectations. I got the single for now and will get the add on.. I exact the black paint to fade but can paint it again. It was super easy to install and operate. I like the simplify, heavy duty, doesn't block the back hatch or back up camera. Not sure if I'll get extender for the grab bar, as I also like how clean it is without extra hardware. It's easy enough for me to operate, no problem. I"m totally stoked with this rack! Perfect for me!
@@ceciljohn09 amazing to hear!! Yah it’s such a great rack!!! My paint is still totally fine, it’s just the anodized blue and red levers that are basically faded to white. Such a nice, simple and sturdy design worth the investment though!!!
@@fernandopoblete6064 correct, no rattling at all, which is what I love about it! definitely one of the only racks I can trust to leave on my vehicle and carry my expensive bikes!
@@fernandopoblete6064 Glad you like it! I am definitely loving mine, and I just leave in on the truck all the time and no problems in weather and it's crazy durable!
yah for me they do, and I have 780mm bars! However if you have the topper that goes higher in the back instead of the consistent one the door might be too big and hit the bike. Mine will still hit the grips but it opens all the way first so I can still access the back
The super duty here vs the black heavy duty is that this one has a slightly higher weight rating, otherwise if all you carry is bikes then either one would be fine! I believe the black one also has a slightly wider wheel tray
The "hitch lock" looks more like their wheel lock than a real hitch lock. It provides minimal security at best. It's unfortunate the hitch slot is too narrow to accept a real hitch lock such as the Bolt. The rack itself is good for holding a couple of bikes, but 1Up racks in general can be quickly dismantled (and bikes removed) with just a few wrenches. One really needs to chain the bike to the trailer hitch itself and not just to the rack.
@@BenCarano Agree 100% for local rides. A bit more difficult for road trips though. Driving back from Portland to NorCal after STP we stopped at Crater Lake and again at Mt Shasta for a short hike. Very low risk environment but we were away from the bike for about an hour so I used heavy duty chains to chain it to the tow hitch. Would scratch the bike if I drove with it attached but fine parked. Just wanted to ensure everyone knows it is inadequate just to cable/chain to the rack itself - one must secure it to the body of the vehicle somehow. This may be true of other bike racks as well - I'm only familiar with 1up which I've owned a couple of years now. Apologies if this came off as negative - very happy with it as a rack.
@@SteveN-oq3pm Definitely didn't come across as negative! Making sure i protect my bike is definitely a priority for me as well! Yah for a hike leaving it for a long time would be difficult. for me whenever i go into places I just bring the bike with me but not everywhere allows that
well done, sequential, and clear. thank you, sir.
Super clear and detailed installation instructions! Thank you for making this video! It was very useful! 😊
It handles my fat bike with 5-in tires fine as well once you add the spacers to widen the tire holds that come from oneup
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🙌

So glad the video was as helpful! I definitely love how sturdy it is, I trust my high end bikes on if for sure!

I noticed the lock that is securing the hitch is a little loose. It doesn’t rattle?
The lock is just there for antitheft, but the hitch is fully tight and secured by the expansion bolt
@@BenCarano And it doesn't rattle while you drive? Looks like it's not fully tight.

@@BenCarano Just bought it, it's awesome thanks!

How deep is the hitch supposed to go in? You say the ball needs to go at least 2 inches deep? Is that right?
Yah that’s according to the specifications
@@BenCarano thanks.
Love your titanium bike!
Thanks!! I definitely had fun creating them!
Do the handlebars clear the canopy when the bike is on the inner rail? I have a canopy on my Tacoma too.
yah for me they do, and I have 780mm bars! However if you have the topper that goes higher in the back instead of the consistent one the door might be too big and hit the bike. Mine will still hit the grips but it opens all the way first so I can still access the back
@@BenCarano awesome thanks
Nice walk through!
Can you comment on color preference or any advantage of the aluminum compare to the black version. I have a white SUV.
The super duty here vs the black heavy duty is that this one has a slightly higher weight rating, otherwise if all you carry is bikes then either one would be fine! I believe the black one also has a slightly wider wheel tray
Brother. Please tell me your a guitar player.
I play guitar yes, haven't put many songs here on TH-cam yet though
Can this tilt to open the back door
yes it can, at least for most vehicles
Great video. 🇺🇸
Good video. Thanks.

or just be like me and never keep your eyes off the bike 😂

Dont forget the expansion bolt serves as a lock as well. Most guys arent walking around with custom allen wrenches.
Great job! Thanks. It helped me to install my 1UP today.
Excellent. TY!!!
“ An extra $50 for titanium bolts” 😂😂😂
Haha ikr
