Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but there isn't anything specific for Kuat racks or made by Kuat. Howver, the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD will work to allow you to carry a bike rack with a 2" hitch. It should be noted that using a hitch adapter like this reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50%, so if your vehicle only has a 200-lbs tongue weight capacity it will be reduced to 100-lbs for bikes and carriers.
I've linked a review video of this adapter for you to check out, as well.
