Will the Kuat NV N101 Fit 2009 Honda Pilot  

Question:

Will the NV fit a newer model Honda Pilot 2009 and allow the back door hatch to open ? I am unable to find a test of that. Thanks.

We haven't yet had the opportunity to test fit the Kuat NV # N101 on a 2009 Honda Pilot.

To determine if the NV will fit your Pilot, you will want to take a quick measurement. You will want to measure the distance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the most rearward point of the bumper. It is easiest to use a yard stick or dowel rod held at the bumper to take this measurement. To find the height clearance needed for your rear hatch, you can slowly open the hatch to find the most rearward point, and then measure the height from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bottom edge of the rear hatch.

The Kuat NV offers 10-1/2 inches of rear clearance when down, and 7-7/8 inches when folded up. When tilted down, the rack measures 16-1/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the inside of the wheel hook when it is folded down. I have attached a diagram showing this measurement for you.

I have attached a video of this bike rack on a Toyota 4Runner so you can see what this rack looks like on a similar vehicle to yours.
