Ford Bronco Ski Rack
The Bronco's trunk swings out with the spare on it — which rules out most hitch-mounted racks. The Gravirax GR-4 mounts in the 2-inch hitch receiver, sits clear of the spare, and the trunk still opens with four pairs of skis loaded.
No climbing, no messing with your modular roof, no drilling. Loads in seconds from ground level, and doesn't block your backup camera.

Why it works on a Bronco
- Trunk still opens. The longer Extended Length arm plus offset and depth adjustment put the rack outside the swing of the trunk and spare.
- Keeps the top free. Works the same with the hard top, soft top, or roof off.
- Sasquatch or stock. 72 positions of adjustment cover every ride height and tire size.
Fit check: any Bronco (2- or 4-door) with a 2-inch hitch receiver. Not for 1¼-inch receivers or the Bronco Sport (different rear door). The GR-4 is the right rack here — the wider GR-6 does not clear the trunk swing. Important: Order the Extended Length (+2") version — it gives the extra reach so the door and spare swing clear.
Four pairs of skis, 15-minute assembly, 2-year warranty, built in the USA. Order the Extended Length.

Ford Bronco ski rack FAQ
Does the Gravirax GR-4 fit a Ford Bronco?
Yes. It fits any 2- or 4-door Bronco with a 2-inch hitch receiver. It does not fit 1¼-inch receivers or the Bronco Sport, which has a different rear door.
Which version do I order for a Bronco?
Order the GR-4 Extended Length (+2") version. The Bronco's trunk and spare need the extra reach to swing clear. The standard-length GR-4 is not recommended for the Bronco.
Will the Bronco's trunk still open with skis loaded?
Yes. With the Extended Length arm and the rack's offset and depth adjustment, the trunk and spare swing clear with four pairs of skis loaded.
Does it work with a Sasquatch package or larger tires?
Yes. 72 positions of adjustment cover every Bronco ride height and spare tire size, Sasquatch or stock.
Does the GR-6 fit a Bronco?
No. The wider GR-6 does not clear the Bronco's trunk swing. The GR-4 Extended Length is the right rack for a Bronco.
How many skis does it carry?
Four pairs of skis. The GR-4 holds them upright behind the vehicle, so nothing goes on the roof.
Does it block the backup camera?
No. The rack sits low and off to the side of the camera's field of view, so your backup camera keeps working.
How long does assembly take?
About 15 minutes with basic hand tools. It slides into the hitch receiver and locks in place; no drilling and nothing attaches to the body.
Where is it made, and what is the warranty?
The GR-4 is patented and built in the USA, and comes with a 2-year warranty.
Will the skis bounce around or come loose on the highway?
No. The skis sit tips down and are held in place by gravity, the same way they ride in a gondola box. The base of the rack is padded so tips are protected, and bindings never rest on the tubes. We tested the rack for days on a bump rig and over speed bumps at 40 mph and the skis stay put. For long trips or dirt roads, an optional cover adds extra security.
Can I mount a ski rack on the Bronco's spare tire or rear door instead?
Not a good idea. Ford's accessory weight tolerance for the Bronco's swing-out door is about 35 lb, the most of the four vehicles, but a tire-mounted rack plus skis gets there quickly; exceed it and the hinges sag. The GR-4 puts the weight low on the hitch and frame instead, which is easier on the door and better for the vehicle's center of gravity. See our guide to barn-door hinge limits for all four vehicles. Barn-door hinge limits: Wrangler, Bronco, Defender, Grenadier.
