Question:
I am in the market for a new bike rack and have a question regarding the Kuat Piston Pro X. KU98VR Why does the product listing for the rack say that it is not suitable for a flat towed vehicle application? It seems to me that the rack would be perfect for such an application with the integrated taillights. Please let me know. Thanks!

This rack the # KU98VR can now be used at the rear of a flat towed vehicle. At one point it was not rated for this but Kuat changed the rating.

Confused by Jameson's answer as to why the KU98VR cannot be used on flat towed vehicle. There is another question/answer by Lazer S regarding this same flat towed question, and his answer was that he contacted Kuat directly and they confirmed the KU98VR is ok being used on a flat towed vehicle.
