Will Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Fit New Ford Bronco With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
Question:
Will the Kuat Piston Pro and Pro X work on a new style Bronco since the spare tire is mounted on the outside of the tailgate?
asked by: Jeff
Expert Reply:
The answer to your question depends on where the hitch sits on the Bronco and how far the tire sticks out. This is not information that we have so you will have to use our measurements to compare on your Bronco. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the Kuat Piston Pro # KU76ZR and Piston Pro X # KU98VR is 10-1/8". If this is enough to clear the spare then it will work.
More than likely you will need additional clearance. In this case, the best solution is to use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVD20B which will move your hitch pin hole 12-3/16" further back to get the clearance you need. This is also great for a Bronco since it will swing out of the way so you can open your tailgate for unrestricted access. Keep in mind, the use of any extender will reduce your hitch capacity by 50%.
