Question:
I own a Kuat Sherpa and Im thinking about purchasing the Hi-Lo Pro hitch extender KU37FR. I have a couple questions. 1. How much does the Hi-Lo Pro weigh? 2. Installing the Hi-Lo Pro to my car and then installing the Sherpa to the Hi-Lo Pro would take a couple minutes more than just installing the Sherpa, and similarly for uninstalling. Could I simply leave the Sherpa connected to the Hi-Lo Pro and treat them as if theyre a single unit? This would eliminate the extra step in installing and uninstalling from my car. Is there any disadvantage to doing this, other than making the Sherpa heavier?

Expert Reply:
Hey Ron. The Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender item # KU37FR weighs 10 lbs. So long as you are coordinated and strong enough to manage the Kuat Sherpa like item # SH22B and the Hi-Lo Pro item # KU37FR connected there wouldn't be any issue leaving these two pieces together. Besides the additional weight, it's going to make the shank a few inches longer.
What kind of vehicle do you have?
