Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 GMC Canyon

Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we are looking at the Kuat Trouper 2.0 two bike rack here on our 2021 GMC Canyon Denali. Now, the Kuat Trouper is one of my favorites because of how it covers pretty much everything you're looking for when it comes to carrying around your bikes. Now, this isn't extra heavy in terms of weight capacity but if you just have an average bike, you're gonna have all the premium features you will need or want. One of the features it has is that it can tilt away to do so you pull on this lever and then this drops down to a tilt and you'll want to do this, let's say if you wanna access your hatch or lower your tailgate. Now, what I did notice on our truck here is that I couldn't lower the tailgate all the way. more
