Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Kia Sorento Video

The 1-1/4 inch version of the Kuat Sherpa part #SH12P does have more rise built into the shank of the rack than the 2 inch version part #SH22P. If you used a sleeve style hitch adapter you would have some noticeable movement between the rack and the…

On the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack #BA22B the horizontal distance from the hitch pin hole to the center of the nearest bike rail is approximately 14-3/8-inches. The height of the unloaded rack when folded down is 11-7/8-inches relative to…

The Sherpa 2.0, part #SH22G, and the NV 2.0 Base, part #BA22B, are the 2 inch models that fit a Class III hitch with no adapter. Also, they do both includes locks for the rack to the hitch and for the bikes to the rack. One difference is that the NV…

I have several great bike rack options that I think you will really like. Take a look at the Kuat Sherpas, #SH22G for gray, #SH22B for black, and #SH22P for pearl. Since you mentioned that your current rack is rusting I have purposely selected these…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

The Curt hitch part #C11367 that you referenced does fit your 2014 BMW 328i xDrive sedan as I just confirmed it with Curt. This would work really well with the Kuat NV Base part #BA12B as well!

If you have the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22B (2" hitches) or #SH12B (1-1/4" hitches), the racks already come with keyed-alike locks that involve a cable to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking hitch pin to lock the rack to the vehicle.…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

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…

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…

To add a class III hitch to your 2024 Honda CR-V hybrid, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C13397. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your CR-V with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this…
