Question:

Hello. I am insterested in purchasing the Kuat NV 2.0 and will likely buy the add-on. That puts the weight around 250lbs. I have a Honda Pilot 2019 EX-L with a Honda Original Hitch-08L92-TG7-1A0. That hitch which I cant seem to get official specs from my dealer, despite being 2 it has a tongue weight limit of 350lbs from what I found online. But most other 2 hitches allow more. Anyhow, would it be ok to carry all that weight on my hitch like on a highway at 70mph or is that too close to the limit?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The factory 08L92-TG7-1A0 hitch for your 2019 Honda Pilot has a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity.

The Küat # NV22G combined with the # NA22G add-on weighs 82 lbs. When the maximum 200 lbs of bikes are added, the total weight would be 282 lbs, which is far enough under the 350 lb tongue weight of the Honda OEM hitch that you wouldn't need to worry about it. The hitch will handle that just fine.

If you use the provided links, you can see demonstrations for the Küat NV 2.0 and the 2 bike add-on.
