It is a KUAT Sherpa 2.0. It is aluminum so not very heavy, about 32 Lbs.
4" drop down extension from 4 State Trucks; about $55
Locking No-rattle pin for the extension from U-Haul; about $22
I added tail lights (Curt, through U-Haul on line, about $30)to the bike rack. Temporarily surface wired. I figured out how to run wiring through the rack
Also, Kuat makes a swing away extension but it may have to work without the drop down - quite pricey though.
Hope this helps

I know you didn’t ask for this at all, and I apologize, but you could just buy a Kuat pivot. Love mine. I think Yakima makes one too.

Does your Kuat pivot block any of the backup sensors when bike rack is not installed?

i.e., if I leave the Kuat pivot on my bronco and back up.

Yes, it blocks the right side sensors even if you remove the rack, causing incessant beeping. It’s a pain in the butt, I just always silence it, and you could make it stop with forscan, that’s just beyond my intelligence.

Anyone experience with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks. Its 35 lbs. Weight make it appealing for removal and storage
