Most Popular Kuat for Jeep TJ

I've taken this rack all over New England on the front of my Dodge Ram 3500 pick up truck with a truck camper. I had no idea it was possible to love a bike rack so much. After one drive I didn't ever worry about it again. So nice that it locks up when I am camping or taking a quick stop for food on the road. So glad I bought it from etrailer. They totally help me pick the perfect rack for my challenging set up.

Had a cheap rack just to get started because I didn't want to invest to much just to find biking was not for me. As I grew to love biking (primarily mountain biking), I grew to trust the cheap wrack more with every ride. It had so much sway in it and the wheel cradles were thin metal loops that bent after the third use. I saved up some money (and gained some good insight working at a bike shop) and decided the Kuat NV was what I was going to go with. I saved my review for after the first use. Wonderful. We had it assembled and fastened in the hitch in less than 30 minutes. I love that it tilts out so if you forget something in the trunk you don't have to take the bikes off or crawl through the car. I like the pinch bolt that keeps it from wiggling, and the built in bike lock is a major plus. Definitely the right choice.

So after much research into bike racks, I decided on pulling the plug on the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. I've looked into the Kuat NV and other brands, but they were just too much for my needs. If you've got "regular" bikes and not the heavier eBikes, then this rack is perfect. I wanted a hitch rack that was user friendly and not overly complicated. I have a mixed bag of bikes and this rack can handle them all, from mountain bikes, street bikes, and BMX bikes. I like that this rack comes with an adapter piece for 20"-24" wheels. Assembly of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 is really a no-brainer. I think it's only 4-5 bolts really. Everything else is ready to go. The anti-rattle hitch ball mechanism is simple to use with just a twist of the dial, easy. The tilt pedal/lever is also easy to access should you need to open your hatch, a solid "click" assures it's in place. So far, loving this rack. Fit and finish is superb. Thanks to Jerred and etrailer for answering my questions, always helpful.

We love this bike rack for its ease of use and solid construction. Bikes are quick and easy to load in and lock down tight. The hitch-receiver tightening system works great for a wobble-free rack and the hinge and locking lever work smooth and solid. It looks nice too.
