Kuat NV Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Explorer
Question:
Hi, I am really leaning towards getting this rack, but Im concerned that while not in use, it will obstruct most of the rear backup camera on the 2015 style Ford Explorer. It would be awesome to include pictures of the center console LCD screen with your reviews. Hitch attached but stowed, attached and loaded with bikes, while in reverse. For any rear camera vehicle that uses any available hitch rack : Thanks.

When folded up the Kuat NV part # N22G that you referenced would partially obstruct the view of the backup camera you have on your 2015 Ford Explorer. You would still be able to see a vehicle or person behind you though, and in the worst case scenario you would just have to use look behind you or use your mirrors.
This is one of the nicest bike racks on the market so I know you will like it a lot. Check out the review video I attached that shows it being demoed on a similar Ford Explorer as yours.
If you don't have a hitch installed on your vehicle yet I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 76034.
