Looking for ideas for Ski Carrier options that are working for people. I will have a 4 dr. badlands/2.7, so won't be able to get a rack any time soon. How are the hitch carriers working? Any brands better than others?. What does everyone recommend?

I wish someone would come out with an enclosed hitch ski case. The thought of putting my skis in an open rack so they can get bukkake’d in road spray, ice, mud, and salt makes me nauseous.

I wish I could find a basket like the ones on ski shuttles out west that could fit a hard walled ski case in it with falling out

Love this idea but can they sit a little higher on the rack? I'd hate to have rocks thrown on my snowboard/skis

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems it wouldn't work with the rear backup camera. Mine sits right in the middle of the spare and isn't flush with the tire

I have this bike rack ski adapter and have used it on my F150 for years (I dont have a picture of it in use so this is just an example). It attaches to my Thule bike rack. we made individual canvas bags to fit everyone's skis/snowboards so they would not get covered in road grime/salt spray. Works great and frees up the cargo box, truck box or in your case the back of the Bronco for everything else needed for those ski weeks or weekends

I have the same set-up. You will need at least 7" extension for the hitch, because of the spare tire width.

I have not tried it (the bike or ski rack) on my bronco yet but figured that extension would be needed

I can’t believe no one has come out with a vertical Yakima/Thule box thing for a hitch yet. I refuse to have my skis open to the elements (rocks, sand, road spray, ice, etc) when getting to and from the mountains. I’ve always had a big enough vehicle to put the skis inside and now need another solution.
