Excellent product, solidly built and easy to install. I was hesitant because of the full size spare tire on the back ladder. The videos and the specifications (especially the sizing details) gave me all the info I needed to make the decision to install it on my Sprinter. The swing away rack gives me full access to the rear of the vehicle. I wish I had bought it sooner.
by: JP05/16/2024
I just installed the Pivot2 on my Dodge Ram and plugged my NV2 into it. The Pivot is a beast. I can now swing the NV2 completely out of the way to access the bed or drop the tailgate so I can load my wife's trike. etrailer, you guys rock. Thanks.
by: Lee 05/11/2024
This swing away carrier is easy to connect and very quiet behind the rig.
by: Dale 03/06/2024
Exactly what I was looking for. Can swing the bikes out of the way to access the truck bed. Locks back into position and I am not worried about it being secure.
by: Milton03/03/2024
Everything i was looking for, great product, great costumer relationship and quick processing and shipping on order. I'm using it on my mobility scooter lift that it's modified for my beach cart, now i can swing it out and open the tailgate, true game changer. I trully reccommend this product.
by: Leslie03/26/2024
Quick shipping. Easy installation. Seems to be pretty stout. Haven’t actually used it yet, so can’t go five stars but I’m confident it’s gonna be the perfect hitch for our needs.
by: Robert 03/01/2024
Works great on my ford super duty with slide in camper.
by: Preston 04/09/2024
Super solid. Fits perfectly on my 22 Bronco. And etrailer got it here lightning fast!
by: William 10/30/2023
Exactly what I was wanting. I used my split receiver on my Renegades 2" hitch receiver. Put my tow hitch in the bottom one soI could still tow my boat ot trailer. Put the Kuat v2 swing arm in the top hitch. Mounted my spare tire mount in the swing arm. Still have the place to mount the cargo rack on top of the swing arm and still be below the weight cap of the swing arm.
by: Eddie 07/12/2022
I waited 6 months because it was on backorder. I was offered other swing away hitches but I chose to wait. After receiving it, nothing comes close to the ease of operation and how smooth the bearing system is. No binding at all. Well worth the wait.

Still consider this the best decision I have made. By far the best swing away hitch on the market. Does not bind or creek when loaded up.
by: Dan11/01/2023
Just received this carrier today. I haven't even opened it yet and can tell you that it is a great carrier, we have had one before. The fantastic thing about this whole process is the attention you get from etrailer.com. They are GREAT to do business with. They fill and ship orders so quickly that it dazzles me. I ordered this on Saturday night, it was shipped on Sunday and I received it on Wednesday. Shipping was FREE!!! What a deal. And Ashley even emails me when it is shipped and again when she gets notice it is delivered. GREAT SERVICE!!! Thanks! I am proud to recommend etrailer.com.
by: John 02/24/2024
Just what I was looking for! Both just swing away and retailer are great .
by: Carl08/10/2023
etrailer was very easy to work with and answered all my questions quickly. etrailer knew the answers to my questions about the Kuat Bike Rack but oddly the person at Kuat did not. The boxes arrived in perfect condition.
by: Barry 07/13/2022
Assembly was easy. Wish the installation to the receiver was tool less, but they included wrench makes it pretty simple. Will be giving it a thorough test run next month.

Had one bad part which Kuat replaced quickly and easily. Works great since then.
by: Patricia 08/02/2023
We are very pleased with this product. We have a truck camper and use this with our 2 electric bikes. We have traveled thousands of miles with it. It saves us from having to unload our bikes each time we want to get into our camper. We love it!
by: Chris07/14/2021
This is an excellent product. Very solidly made, easy to operate and easy to install/remove. I use it to swing my bike to the side so I can more easily access my hatch-area. Beware the small stub that sticks out however! It can bang your shins! The rack operation is smooth, and the safety-latch works very easily, and prevents the bikes from swinging back if the car is parked on a hill.
by: Sam 08/03/2022
As always extremely satisfied with products and the excellent customer service from everyone at e trailer! Thanks again Sam!!!

Great rack! I carry two fat tire e-bikes with no problems and the ease of loading and unloading with the optional ramp is surprisingly easy even for one person. Can’t say enough for the excellent fit and finish of this rack!
by: Robert 08/12/2023
after seeing someone with this setup, we knew it would be great on either our motorhome or our Bronco. swings the bike rack out of the way for either vehicle.
by: swanee09/07/2023
got a different van...Ford Transit. The back doors would not open with my Kuat bike rake on. This is the perfect answer
by: Merrielynn06/30/2023
works just as described, perfect on the back of the camper, leave bikes on, swing arm out and in the camper I go.
by: Tomas06/22/2023
Amazing product and great delivery!
Totally worth it to comfortably open the tailgate of my truck this thing is over engineered

Works great. Gives total access to the back of the Jeep. Had a small hardware issue and Kuat took care of it right away. Highly recommend.

Works great. Easy to put on and off.

Easy to install. Excellent service from trailer.com
by: Brian02/12/2023
Almost Perfect. We intended for this to be our spare tire carrier but the hitch spare tire mounts place the tire directly in front of the license plate. With a small tap into the license plate lighting and driving a few holes onto the swing arm. We were able to have the plate relocated and lit.
Also, the tightener in the carrier works well to snug the carrier to the truck so it does not wiggle. We’ll have to see how long it lasts. Had to use a hitch anti-rattle mount between the spare tire carrier and the swing out receiver to eliminate a wiggle. Everything is tight and no rattling out back.
I’ll need to give it a few more miles to test its durability on the hinge. I do wish the hinge was serviceable, but it appears to be a sealed unit pressed in. Not sure it will last.
Rated weight is 250#s and the tire, rim, and carrier come in at 150#. It should be good, but again, we’ll see how it holds up on the trails.
We opted for this option instead of a bumper because the truck travels overseas and it needs to pass foreign inspections, which often require OEM bumpers. So a hitch mount seems logical.

- Best Way to Carry 3 Bikes with Swing-Away AdapterThe RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10002 only comes with the ability to carry 2 bikes but I do have a solution for you to carry 3 bikes and utilize a swinging arm like what comes with this bike rack. For your application I highly recommend using the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU24FR and pairing it with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B to get that swing-away feature you're looking for. I really like the Transfer V2 because it has the open...

The E-Spec not only comes with a massive 70-pound per-bike weight capacity; it also includes keyed-alike locks and a locking hitch pin to deter theft of your bikes and the rack itself. It also comes with a long shank that measures 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the closest wheel cradle. As far as construction, the E-Spec is built to withstand the extra force/torque when...

This will be the best possible solution we can provide to give you clearance for your tailgate to fold down. I attached a picture that shows this used on a Wrangler for you to check out as well.

- Hitch Lock to Use with Kuat Pivot Adapter With Limited Clearance for Key AccessI have a similar situation on my Tahoe where there's limited clearance for a hitch lock and what I found is that the Hollywood Rack Hitch lock part # HRLHP2 is the solution as the barrel of the lock is at a 90 degree angle and the key is also at that same angle so for you situation I'd recommend this lock with the Kuat Pivot Adapter # PVP20B.

It was designed to be used with a motorhome, has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike, and uses a clamping arm that can be moved around to fit with the lower top tube on your M2S All Terrain Scout bikes. When it comes to the swing-away hitch adapter I recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B over the Yakima BackSwing # Y02483. The BackSwing is a great option but the reason...

- Can the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender Be Turned Upside-Down To Swing Both WaysThe Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks comes in two styles, part # PVD20B which opens towards the driver side and part # PVP20B which opens towards the passenger side. The reason they make two options is so you can have the bike rack swing away from traffic no matter which side of the road you drive on which is not the same for all countries. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend you just flip the swing away upside-down as Kuat does not recommend this. If it was possible,...

Instead, I'd recommend a frame mount like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE For Electric Bikes, part # HLY84FR. This carrier can be used with an extender like the Kuat Pivot, part # PVP20B to create the swing-away rack you're looking for on your vehicle. This rack has a capacity of 80 pounds per bike, and sits about...

Do note that this particular swing away hitch will swing towards the drivers side. Typically the Passenger Side # PVP20B is most popular especially if you end up using it on the side of the road to gain access inside your bed. You will then be able to use the Swagman Skaha 2 Plus Bike Rack with Cargo Carrier # S69SR behind the Kuat Swing Away...

We haven't checked the tailgate clearance of either rack with a bike installed but we did install the Sport Rider SE on a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 and you can see at the 3:00 minute mark that the tailgate drops right at the wheel cradles. Because of this I recommend going with the RV...

Since the Transfer V2 measures 8-15/16 inches from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest cradle position of the rack when tilted, we can determine a rough estimate of its fitment on your...

- What is the Best Swing-Away Bike Rack for 2 Himiway Electric Mountain Bikes on a 2008 Commander?I have a great solution to the problem. For 2 Himiway electric mountain bikes that weigh 72 pounds, I recommend using the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B in combination with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. The Kuat Pivot Swing Away Extender has a maximum tongue weight of 250 pounds. With your two Himiway electric bikes and the Sport Rider SE, your carrying weight needs are 198 pounds. This will give you plenty...
view full answer... - Will the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR Clear My Spare Tire and Trunk on My 2011 Toyota RAV4?With the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR, it truly depends on what hitch you have on your vehicle. If you have a great hitch like the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e98864 on your 2011 Toyota RAV4, you most likely need a hitch extender in order for the rack to clear the rear tire. This is because the shank length of the Transfer V2 measures 6-1/2" from the center of the pinhole to closest part of the rack. Since the # e98864 installs 4 inches from the center of the pinhole to the outside face of the rear...

You will want to measure from the hitch pin hole to the outside of the spare tire and from the inside top of the receiver tube to the bottom of the spare tire. The distance...

- Will Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender Work for Ram ProMaster VanThe Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # SAR36VR will sit about 5" above the center of the hitch pin hole once the arm is swung away so you should have enough room to open up your Ram ProMaster doors. If you'd like something just as strong but with a lower profile check out the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B. Kuat actually built this with ProMaster vans in mind so it's perfect for your application.

A rough estimate of the length of the rear doors of your 2020 Winnebago Revel and the distance they swing out is 40" not including the ladder. If your hitch is centered on your 2019 Sprinter chassis, then you would only be able to swing your door with the ladder out 19-3/4" when using the cargo carrier, and 21-1/4" when using a bike rack like Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR.

- Clearing the Tailgate of a Ram 1500 with the Kuat Pivot Hitch ExtenderThe Kuat Pivot, part # PVP20B will swing the rack approximately 33-1/8 inches away from the vehicle, plus the distance of the rack's shank from the center of its hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack. On a Ram 1500, this should clear the tailgate with most racks. For example, a 2018 is between 74 and 78 inches wide depending on trim, and assuming that the hitch is correctly installed in the center of the vehicle, you'll need to clear between 34 and 39 inches to use your tailgate...

To achieve the clearance needed, you will need to use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B in conjunction. This will allow you to pivot your rack up to 120° away, giving you plenty of clearance.

The Kuat Pivot Swing Away will allow you to attach a cargo carrier or bike rack to a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening and then pivot that accessory out 90 degrees to clear the rear doors on your van. The swing arm comes with a locking anti-rattle threaded hitch pin however, you would also need a locking hitch pin to secure your bike to the swing arm.

If you don't already have a hitch then I recommend the etrailer # e98856 because it has a longer receiver tube and a matte black finish so it will help give you extra clearance while looking stylish in the process. When we installed this trailer hitch on a 2020 Wrangler with the standard factory tire we found from the center...
