Question:

Hello, I have a Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack that I currently use on our Toyota. We have a new 2023 Equinox LT and I am considering the CURT hitch. Will this combination work together? Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV22G is designed to fit 2" hitches so you would be good to go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77FR on your 2023 Chevy Equinox LT. I've attached a video below where Aiden will show you the NV on the back of a 2023 Chevy Equinox so you can get a better idea on clearances with your specific vehicle, as well as John's installation video of the trailer hitch. The installation is really easy so you could do this yourself if you have a torque wrench and save a few bucks instead of paying a shop to install it.

If you ever plan on towing anything or want to add on lights to the bike rack for better visibility then you'll also want to pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118285 if you have the factory tow package.

If you do not have a factory tow package then you'll need the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # 119190KIT instead and will have to splice in the wiring instead.
