Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Ford Explorer KU74FR Video

The Hollywood Racks part #HR1450Z is incredibly stable. While it may not look as sleek as some of the more expensive racks it actually performs better in terms of stability than nearly all of them. Actually the rack doesn't move at all so…

I went out o the warehouse to measure the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2, #HR1450Z. From the end of the shank to the nearest part of the elongated pin hole it measures 1-3/8 inches. From the end to the center of the hole it is 2-3/4 inches. And from…

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…

Generally speaking wheel mount only bike racks are preferred. Especially for people with carbon fiber bike frames since frame mounts aren't recommended at all with them otherwise damage could occur. For other frame designs people still prefer…

The Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Platform Rack, #NV22G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform rack, #BA22B. are both very similar bike racks. Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, #NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and #BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both…
