Will Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2016 Toyota Tacoma and Allow Tailgate to Fold Down When Tilted

Published 10/24/2016

Question:

Hi, In your video review of the Kuat NV 2.0 on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma, I was really hoping to see whether the Tacoma tailgate could be lowered without making contact with the rack in its platform position. However, the tailgate was never opened in the video, so this question was left unanswered. Do you happen to know whether the tailgate can be opened without interference? Thanks for your time.

I attached an install video of the Kuat NV2.0 part # NV22G on a 2015 Toyota Tacoma and at the 36 second mark you can see that the tailgate can fold down when the rack is tilted with a bike loaded. It would be the same for a 2016 Tacoma since the trucks didn't' change.
