Can I Use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extension w/ the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack?
Question:
Will the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extension work with the Thule T2 pro xtr 4 bike rack setup on a 2inch hitch? The tailgate of my truck hits the Thules pivot mount even when the rack is tilted down. Carrying mostly bmx race bikes that weigh less than 25lbs. Thanks

Yes, it will. The Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Adapter part # PVP20B can be used with the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes item # TH69TX. You shouldn't have an issue with weight because you are driving a truck but the Kuat Swing Away reduces your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. This two parts combined weigh 155 lbs the T2 Pro has a maximum capacity of 160 lbs total.
I have attached a couple of pictures below. One is a dimensional diagram of the Kuat Swing Away and the other is a picture of this adapter being used on a truck with the tailgate down.
I have also linked a couple of review videos so you can see the functions of both of these parts and how to get them set up.
