Kuat NV Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Nissan Quest- Video

Today on our 2013 Nissan Quest we're going to be test fitting the Kuat NV 4 bike platform style rack in black and chrome, part number N105-107. Now this is also available in gunmetal grey and orange, that part number is N101-103. So we'll begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into the hitch on our vehicle. You'll want to watch for the hitch pinholes to line up. Once you have that in line, you can take the included hitch pin lock and slide it through. You'll attach the lock to the other side, and then you'll want to tighten up the anti-rattle device here at the base of the rack. Tightening this down is going help take any extra play out of the shank of the rack, which helps to eliminate movement overall as you're going down the road. With that secure, we'll grab a couple of measurements. more
