Question:

Hi guys - for my 2021 Volvo V60. Can you make the 2 Stealth hitch Item # SH47FR work with the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 w/ 1.25 which I already own?

Hey there Rick, there is a way to use your 1-1/4" Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G with the 2" receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH47FR.

What you would need to do is simply use an adapter, the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" # HT02.

This will go in the 2" receiver and essentially turn it into a 1-1/4" receiver. It comes with a 1-1/4" pin and clip, though you won't be using that for your Sherpa so you can disregard it. The only thing you would need is something to secure it to the 2" receiver, which is Hitch Lock # e98880.

Great, thanks. Any concerns about this arrangement rattling around since there will be clearances between the rack and adapter?

@RickW I can't guarantee there won't be any rattle, but it should be minimal. Basically, over bumpier roads you could hear it, but you won't hear a constant racket.
