If you have a Kuat Bike Rack with 1-1/4" shank that you need to use inside a 2" hitch then you'll need to go with the Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter part # D101 which is the only adapter I can confirm fit of.

Answer 1

The issue is not with adapter #D101. You can use that adapter to use your Kuat NV in a 2 inch hitch. That is why Kuat made it. They were probably thinking you meant an aftermarket adapter such as #HTAD. The use of an adapter like HTAD will void the…

Answer 2

The Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" #D101 will work with most Kuat Bike racks but will not work with the first generation Kuat NV bike racks. So that most likely isn't the issue. When you mention the metal ball not allowing…

Answer 3

The technical reason that the Kuat Adapter Sleeve, part #D101 will not work with the Kuat NV 1.0 is that the end of the shank on the Kuat NV 1.0 doesn't have an additional length for this adapter to attach correctly, and allow for the cam ball to…

Answer 4

The Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter #D101 will work in converting your 1-1/4" Kuat bike rack to 2" to fit your receiver hitch, as long as your bike rack is Kuat Alpha, Beta, NV 2.0, NV Base 2.0, Sherpa, and Sherpa 2. This adapter will not work…

It is perfectly safe to use a reducer sleeve like the Curt #C45405 to fit an accessory with a 2" shank into your 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver. We do have options for you to use a ball mount with a 2-1/2" shank for when you want to tow…

Answer 6

The Curt Pin and Clip #F-4 that you referenced is designed to work on 1-1/4 inch hitches. The reason your hitch has a 1/2 inch hole and a 5/8 inch hole is because it is setup for an obsolete anti-rattle device Draw Tite J-Pin. We no longer carry the…

Yes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C26VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a…

Answer 10

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

Answer 11

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

You are on the right track. The only way we have that will allow you to use the Thule T2 Pro Xtr Bike Platform Rack part #TH69TX with the 2.5" receiver tube opening on your truck would be with adapter. For this, I recommend the Brophy Hitch…
