How to Tell if Kuat Transfer V2 Will Clear Spare Tire on Vehicle
Question:
Will this fit a 2011 Toyota Rav4 with the swing out door and tire wheel on the back? Also, where is tis rack made? I have been looking for the right rack and this just might finally be the one! Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR sits 6-1/2" back from the center of the hitch pin hole so if that is further out than the spare tire on your 2011 Toyota RAV4 then you're good to go. Typically bike racks won't have enough clearance for a spare tire but if you use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B you'll be able to swing the bike rack out and away for enough clearance.
I'm attaching a review video for the Transfer V2 as well as a video of me showing the Pivot 2 on a 2019 RAV4 so you can see how it works.
My contact at Kuat said this rack is made over in the factory they own located in China.
