Gravirax Hitch Ski Rack: The Ultimate Adjustable Solution

Finding the perfect hitch ski rack can feel like a compromise. What if you didn’t have to settle? The Gravirax hitch ski rack introduces a patented design that offers unparalleled adjustability, ensuring a perfect fit and an awesome user experience for nearly any vehicle on the mountain roads.

This isn't just another ski rack; it's a fully customizable solution. With over 72 possible configurations, Gravirax allows you to dial in the perfect placement. This post explores the four key adjustment features that make the Gravirax the best adjustable ski rack for mountain vehicles.

1. Driver or Passenger Side Offset for Ultimate Convenience

One of the most unique features of the Gravirax hitch ski rack is its ability to be offset to either the driver or passenger side. This simple adjustment solves several common problems that plague fixed-rack owners.

Unobstructed Views and Safer Driving

Many modern vehicles, like the Range Rover, have backup cameras that are positioned off-center. A standard, fixed hitch ski rack can easily block the camera's view, rendering it useless. With Gravirax, you can simply offset the rack to the opposite side, restoring full visibility for safer parking and reversing.

Curbside Safety on Busy Streets

If you frequently find yourself loading or unloading gear on a busy street, safety is a top priority. Offsetting the rack to the passenger side allows you to access your skis and snowboards from the safety of the curb. This small shift keeps you away from passing traffic, providing valuable peace of mind.

2. Vertical Height Adjustment for Any Vehicle

Whether you drive a low-slung sedan or a lifted truck, the vertical height of your ski rack matters. Gravirax offers up to four inches of height adjustment, allowing you to position your gear perfectly for your specific needs.

Avoid Bottoming Out—Improve your Departure Angle

Departure angle is basically how steep an angle you can climb without having your rear bumper or hitch mounted accessory hitting the ground.  If your vehicle’s hitch is low to the ground then scrapping the bottom of it is a concern.  It becomes a real risk on steep driveways, speed bumps, or uneven terrain. By raising the Gravirax rack, you increase your ground clearance, improve your departure angle and protect your equipment from costly damage.

Accommodate Your Garage and Your Reach

On the other hand, if you have a lifted vehicle, reaching your skis can be a challenge. Lowering the rack makes them more accessible. This adjustment is also incredibly useful for those with low garage ceilings. By setting the rack lower, you will be able to remove your skis from the tubes without having to pivot the rack.

3. Horizontal Adjustment for a Streamlined Profile

The Gravirax hitch ski rack provides six inches of horizontal adjustment, giving you control over how the rack sits in relation to your vehicle's centerline. This feature helps you fine-tune the rack’s position for better aesthetics and function.

Protect Your Tires and Gear

By moving the rack closer to the center of your vehicle, you create more distance between your skis and your tires. This helps prevent road spray, dirt, and grime from kicking up onto your expensive equipment, keeping it cleaner and in better condition.

Maximize License Plate and Camera Visibility

In addition to the side-to-side offset, the horizontal adjustment offers another way to limit obstruction of your backup camera or license plate. You can slide the rack to find the ideal spot that provides the clearest view, helping you stay compliant with local regulations and drive more safely.

4. Bumper Distance Adjustment for Perfect Fitment

The final dimension of control is the distance from your vehicle's bumper. With up to four inches of adjustability, you can find the sweet spot that balances trunk access, vehicle length, and departure angle. This is what truly makes Gravirax the best ski rack for SUVs and vehicles with unique rear doors, like the Jeep Wrangler.

Uninterrupted Trunk Access

Many hitch racks require you to tilt them down to open your trunk or tailgate. Gravirax’s adjustability often allows you to set the rack just far enough from the bumper to grant full access to your cargo area without any extra steps.

Optimize Your Vehicle’s Profile

Pushing the rack closer to the bumper shortens your vehicle's overall length, making it easier to maneuver and park in tight spots. Conversely, moving it further out can help accommodate oversized spare tires or other rear-mounted accessories. You can also fine-tune the departure angle to prevent the rack from scraping on steep inclines.

Don't Settle for a Rack That "Sort of" Fits

Why accept a one-size-fits-all solution when you can have a ski rack that is tailor-made for your vehicle and your adventures? The Gravirax hitch ski rack eliminates the compromises. Its four-way adjustability ensures you get a secure, convenient, and safe fit every time.

Whether you need to clear a backup camera, avoid a low garage ceiling, or maintain access to your trunk, Gravirax delivers. Stop wrestling with a rack that works "okay" and upgrade to a system you can dial in for a perfect fit and an unmatched user experience.
