• Can the Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender be Used with a Spare Tire Holder
  The Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender part # PVP20B is designed specially to be used with the Kuat NV 2.0, NV Base 2.0, and Sherpa 2.0 bike racks. However, I don't see any reason that you could not use the swing hitch extender with a hitch mounted spare tire holder like the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # C31006 so long as the weight of the spare tire holder and the weight of your spare tire/wheel do not exceed 250 lbs even on rough terrain. The weight of your spare...

• Which is Better Side of Vehicle for Kuat Pivot Adapter to Swing To Driver or Passenger
  Most of the time people want the pivot to swing out to the passenger side of the vehicle like what the part # PVP20B offers. This is because if you were for some reason on the side of the road and needed to get into the back of the vehicle you could swing the rack out to the shoulder side of the vehicle since most people pull over to the right side. This means you wouldn't end up swinging it out into traffic. I am actually surprised Kuat offers the driver side version part # PVD20B since...

• Kuat Bike Rack for 2004 Toyota RAV4 That Can Clear Rear Spare
  Hey Greg, so the hitches that we offer for your 2004 Toyota RAV4 like the Curt # C13524 have a distance of 10 inches from their hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare. So you need a hitch bike rack that has at least 10 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray. The Kuat NV Base part # BA22B would work for this as it has this distance at 11-3/4 inches. The Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU84FR does not have quite the clearance needed as-is but I wouldn't...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2020 Ford Transit Connect
  Hey Pam, thanks for reaching out to us! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR for your 2020 Ford Transit Connect because it has a matte black finish that is more durable than the standard glossy black finish on other hitches, and the receiver sits about flush with the rear bumper so you'll have to literally be hugging your Transit to get injured by the receiver (see attached photo). Then for a carrier it sounds like you're wanting something like the Flint...

• Will the Curt Cargo Carrier C18113 Work w/ a Kuat Swing Away Hitch Extender?
  Yes, it would. The 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier item # C18113 will definitely fit the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender item # PVP20B for the passenger side or item # PVD20B for the driver's side. Please note that the use of any hitch extender or adapter will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%.

• 4 Bike Trailer Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2012 Lexus GX 460
  For your 2012 Lexus GX 460, you're probably going to be better off picking up a hanging rack over a platform rack, as there aren't any swing-away 4 bike platform racks. Additionally, because of the way that the rear of the GX 460 opens, the hanging rack will work a little better overall with the rear hatch. For a hanging rack, I recommend Yakima's FullSwing, part # Y02465. This swing-away hanging rack uses ZipStrips to secure the bikes across its two arms, and reduces the amount of sway...

• Recommended Bike Rack For My 2019 Ford Transit T350
  I do have a solution for you, but it would be adding a hitch receiver and a hitch bike rack to your 2019 Ford Transit T350. Unfortunately, we do not offer a solution for you to mount a bike rack to the rear door of your vehicle. The Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack you attached to your question only comes with options to mount to a Sprinter, part # TH302043, or a Ram Promaster, part # TH302013. I was also unable to find a trunk bike rack to fit your vehicle. If you decide to go with the...

• 4-Bike Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Spare Tire on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
  The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR should fit the bill to clear the spare tire on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I say "should" because more times than not this will fit, however since Jeep owners like to modify their rides you will want to take a quick measurement just to make sure. At long as the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the outermost part of your spare isn't 13-1/2" or more then this will fit great! I have attached a review video of this on...

• Can The Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B Be Used On A Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver
  Hey Eric, Using the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B with the class 2 EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7303 would go against the manufacturer's intended use and would void your warranty, with the possibility of the adapter failing while you're out on the road. The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 doesn't list a class rating requirement, but as with any adapter using this will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50% so you might run into some issues with...

• Will Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks Fit Tesla Model Y
  Hi Kevin; we haven't tested the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B on a Tesla Model Y so you will have to measure to see if there will be enough clearance. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the extender is 5-3/16". As long as you have this much clearance from the hitch pin hole on your receiver to the end of the bumper you will be able to use the swing away extender on your vehicle.

• Bike Rack Recommendation for 42' Travel Trailer with Welded-On Hitch Receiver
  The Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B is one of my all-time favorite bike rack accessories, but it unfortunately isn't rated for use on a travel trailer so we need to find you a different solution. I recommend checking out the Swagman Escapee RV Bike Rack # S39SR which is compatible with your bikes as long as they don't have a front fender. I really like this rack because it meets a lot of basic necessities while also being able to handle up to 60 lb bikes...

• How to Carry Bike with Fenders and Carbon Frame Bike with Platform Bike Rack
  As of right now there aren't any bike racks which work like that so your best solution is to use a frame hitch mount bike rack an adapter bar like part # TH982XT for the Townie 5i and then the Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector # TH984101 for your Trek Domane SL 5. The RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack # RKY10002 is a nice bike rack but since it secures bikes by the wheel it won't be good for the Townie fender. Instead I recommend using either the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR or the Destination...

• Kuat Bike Rack and Swing Away Extender Recommendations for 2021 Ford Bronco with Spare Tire
  Thank you for all of the detailed information! The Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B is my absolute favorite solution for vehicles with a spare tire because it places the hitch pin hole the bike rack connects to 12-3/16" further back than the hitch pin hole on your 2021 Ford Bronco trailer hitch plus it swings out of the way enough that you can open up your back door for unrestricted access. Then for the bike rack there are 2 potential options from Kuat; the NV 2.0 Base...

• Does the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender Lock at 90 Degrees?
  Yes, it does. The arm on the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender item # PVD20B locks at 90 degrees and opens up to 120 degrees. I have attached a photo below that shows how this function works.

• Will Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Fit New Ford Bronco With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  The answer to your question depends on where the hitch sits on the Bronco and how far the tire sticks out. This is not information that we have so you will have to use our measurements to compare on your Bronco. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the Kuat Piston Pro # KU76ZR and Piston Pro X # KU98VR is 10-1/8". If this is enough to clear the spare then it will work. More than likely you will need additional clearance. In this case, the best solution...

• Does the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks Work w/ 1 Up Bike Racks?
  Yes, the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks item # PVD20B is compatible with 1 Up bike racks. This swing away hitch will swing towards the drivers side. Typically the Passenger Side item # PVP20B is more popular especially if you end up using it on the side of the road to gain access to your truck bed. I have linked a review video below.

• Best Bike Rack for a Kuat Pivot Swing Away Extender
  Thanks for the information. The first thing you are going to want to check is the clearance from your hitch pin hole out 5-3/16". This is where the Kuat Pivot item # PVP20B begins to rise. The top of the Kuat Pivot sits 5-3/16 of an inch above your Jeep's hitch pin hole. I don't know what year Jeep you have or your spare tire size but we have had issues with the swing away adapters not clearing the bottom of the spare tire. I have linked a dimensional diagram below so you can see these...

• Will Yakima EXO System Work on 2021 Ram ProMaster RV
  I have some alternative options for you, and as much as I would love to say yes it works, it also looks like there is a review video of the EXO # Y34ZR installed on a 2021 Ram ProMaster where the back door doesn't clear the rise in the shank. So while this system is a good idea, when push comes to shove it won't work. The best alternatives I can offer is to either use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B along with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR (which gives you...

• Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport w/out the Tow Package
  I checked with our vendors and to add a hitch to your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport you will need the Curt item # C13392. This hitch has been confirmed to fit the 2024 models so long as yours does not have a diesel engine. This hitch will work great with either of the Kuat Pivot Swing Away Adapters item # PVD20B for the driver's side or the more popular item # PVP20B for the passenger side. Both are compatible with the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack item # BA22B you mentioned. Since...

• Best Bike Rack for 2 e-bikes on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with Swinging Door
  Both the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR and the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR are excellent choices for your application as they have a higher weight capacity for your e-bikes and they secure bikes by the frame instead of the wheels since most e-bikes have front fenders. I like the Destination E Bike Rack a little better because you can rotate the clamps around to accommodate different bike frame style and it comes with a ramp so it's easier to load your heavy...

• Clearance Options for Using the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack on a Jeep Wrangler Willys 2020
  I would be happy to help you. I spoke with my rep at Kuat we came up with an option for you but he does not think you will have the clearance you need to fold the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack item # SH22G or tilt it down to open the door on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Willys edition. The hitch pin hole on the Kuat sits 11" from the first part of the bike rack in the folded position that would contact your spare tire. When tilted down you would have 11.5" before your door would contact the bike...

• Would A Hitch Extender Be Needed For A Kuat Piston SR On A 2024 Ford Bronco Sasquatch Edition
  Hey Joe, I spoke with Kuat since I didn't have a Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack # KU88ZR on hand to measure and they stated that from the center of the hitch pin hole in the shank to the start of the wheel tray is 9-1/2". You would likely need a hitch extender like the # HL20B in order to clear the spare tire on the back of your Bronco. The # HL20B can add on an additional 7" or 10" of clearance but will reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. The 50% reduction likely won't be that...

• Trailer Hitch and Swing-Away Adapter Recommendations for a 2013 Ford Transit Connect
  The trailer hitch I recommend installing on your 2013 Ford Transit Connect is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94KR because of the matte black finish that not only makes it look more rugged but also protects it better from the elements than the standard glossy black finish we see on all of the other trailer hitches that fit your vehicle. Then for a swing-away adapter I highly recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away # PVP20B because it's secured and solid but still really easy to operate...
