Question:
When comparing the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 platform bike rack and Thule T2 ProXTB what are the pros and cons and will they both work on a 2018 crosstrek with a Curt C13382 Hitch receiver? Will they both carry fat bikes?

Expert Reply:
The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV is a very nice rack that will tilt-away, fold-up, and will hold the bikes by their wheels. That rack will allow bikes up to 60 lbs each and with tires up to 5 inches wide. The closest part of the rack when folded is 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin and the carrier weighs 52 lbs.
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G is also a very nice rack that will tilt-away, fold-up, and holds the bikes by their wheels. The rack will allow bikes up to 40 lbs each and with tires up to 3 inches wide. The closest part of the rack when folded up is 7-1/2 inches and the carrier weighs just 32 lbs.
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B is a closer comparison to the Thule T2. It has the tilt-away, and fold-away features as well. It is rated for bikes up to 60 lbs with tires up to 4.8 inches wide. The closest part of the rack when folded up is 6-5/8 inches. This rack weighs 52 lbs
Any of these options will work with your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and Curt # C13382 Trailer hitch.
