This isn't the case with everything because some manufacturers build their stuff to work with both, but I'd say more often than not, they don't. So I'd recommend using a rack that specifically...

• How to Tell if Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Will Fit with Flat Towed Vehicle Behind Motorhome
• Thanks for reaching out, Mike! The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR sits out about 27-1/2" from the face of your hitch receiver, so as long as you still have turning clearance you'll be just fine.

You can use something like the Gen-Y Shank # 325-GH-304 to help increase the height of your bike rack and still have a receiver for your tow bar. Let me know if this bike...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver With Most Ground Clearance For 2022 Subaru Outback
• For your 2022 Subaru Outback Onyx, the trailer hitch receiver that offers the most ground clearance is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C67JR. To verify if it's any better than your OEM hitch, you can measure from the inside top of the receiver opening, to the ground.

• Does Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Adapter PVD20B Cut Tongue Weight Capacity in Half
• Hey Keith, yes the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Adapter part # PVD20B that you referenced does cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent due to the additional length that gets added to the rack. So if you had a 500 lb hitch the capacity would then be 250 lbs which happens to also be the capacity of this hitch adapter.
