Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2008 Jeep Liberty- Video
Today on our 2008 Jeep Liberty, we'll be doing a test fit of the Kuat transfer platform style 3 bike rack, that's part number TS03G. Now it's also available in a 2 bike rack part number TS02G. I've already got it loaded up on the Jeep Liberty just to give you a good idea of what it's going to look like and how it's going to secure our bikes. It actually secures our bikes in 2 spots, we have this front wheel hook here putting down pressure into our front wheel cradle and then we have this rear wheel strap going over our rear wheel. All in all there is no frame contact with this bike rack. One of the key features about this bike rack is that it has the ability to tilt away with all 3 bikes loaded so we can gain access to our rear hatch. What we do is we can bring our foot up to this foot pedal here or we can use our hand. more
