Is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Compatible with a 2018 Infiniti Q50
Question:
After researching platform bike racks, Ive decided that Id really like to get the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. Is it compatible with a 2018 Infiniti Q50? Thank you.

Although we haven't test fit the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 on a 2018 Infiniti Q50 it should be compatible. Really the only thing you need to check as far as compatibility goes is that there is enough rear bumper clearance for you to fold the bike rack up.
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the Sherpa 2.0 is 11" when it is folded down and then is reduced to 7-1/2" when the bike rack is folded up. This should be more than enough clearance and you can verify this by simply measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch receiver to the rearmost edge of your bumper. As long as that measures under 7-1/2" then you are good to go!
From my research it looks like the only trailer hitch receiver available for a 2018 Q50 has the 1-1/4" receiver. If this is what you have then you will use the Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G in Gray, # SH12P in Pearl, or # SH12B in Black.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch then we have the Curt # C11407 for your Q50. Please note that the Curt warranty requires the use of the Support Strap # 18050 for all non-trailer loads like a bike rack. I have attached an installation video of this on a 2014 Q50 for you to reference as well as a review video of the Sherpa 2.0 for you to check out.
