1Up bike rack, Kuat Pivot, Curt hitch - Sasquatch

[scolumbo]

Resurrecting an old thread, it was a great inspiration for me when I was researching bike racks. This is the Kuat Pivot v2 with the passenger-side swing and the Kuat Transfer v2 bike rack on a Curt hitch receiver.

Very solid and absolutely no movement or wiggle from either the Pivot or the rack. I did have to turn off the parking assist but I still get a fairly good view from the backup camera.

For anyone interested. I make an adapter plate to mount the 1up rack directly to the spare tire, eliminating the need for a hitch swing carrier. This allows for a trailer to be towed while hauling bikes, and maintains departure angle. I also include a tailgate limiter to prevent the rack from hitting the body of the bronco. Message me if you’re interested.

Love the innovation but I wouldn't want to leverage 75#+ that far out, regardless of reinforcement to the OEM gate. I could be wrong.

I was originally concerned as well. I have 2 bikes on it plus nearly all of my body weight an I’m able to shake the bronco pretty significantly with no deflection to the tailgate or rack.
