Kuat  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Today on our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder we're going to be doing a test fit of the Kuat NV 2.0 two bike platform rack. As you can see we already have our bike secured and one of the really nice features of this bike rack is that if you need to get anything in or out of the cargo area simply pull down on that knob and the bike rack will tilt away giving you full access to the back hatch. You don't have to remove the bike to get anything in or out. To lock the bike back into place simply lift up on the bike rack and it'll lock into place securely. Now, there is two mounting points that keep the bikes secure to the bike rack. There's no frame contact. more

Thule  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Nissan Pathfinder ETTHT2P-2

Today on our 2015 Nissan Pathfinder, we'll be doing a test fit of the Thule T2 Pro Two Bike Platform Rack. One feature that I really like about this rack is that with this bike rack with your bike on it, you're able to tilt it away in order to gain access to your rear cargo area. As you can see, we're able to gain full access with this bike on here in order to get anything you may have such as groceries or luggage. To put it back into position, all you do is lift up on the handle and let it snap into place. With this bike rack, it makes no frame contact in order to hold the bike in place. It's got a rear wheel strap down here, then it's also get a front wheel hook in order to keep it tight into that wheel cradle. We're going to go ahead and get this bike off of here. You just squeeze on this gray tab and inside of the hook. more

Today on our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, we'll be test fitting the Saris Cycle-On platform style hitch mounted 2 bike rack for 2 inch hitches, part number SA4024. We'll begin our test fit by sliding the shank of the bike rack into the opening of the hitch. After lining up the pin holes, we'll thread in our anti-rattle bolt and tighten it down using a wrench. The bike rack secured, we'll go over a few clearance measurements to see how the 2 will fit together. The platform folded up, we have about 11 inches of ground clearance. Closest part of the bike rack to the closest part of our vehicle is about 10 inches away, and we've added about 17 inches to the overall length of our Nissan. We can now remove the gold pin at the base of the bike rack and tilt the platform of the rack down. more
