Iāve got a rackattach. Itās built like a tank. The anti wobble bracket it comes with is nice. Itās basically a bolt that threads through the hitch and into an insert inside. It definitely keeps it from wobbling. I had the wobble bolt loosen a little bit during a 2k plus mile trip to Montana with lots of off-road driving.Wondering if anyone has the Rakattach 2.0 for their bronco yet. Looking at getting the 1up two bike rack as well as a swing out extender for the tailgate. Most people seem to go with the Kuat Pivot. The Rakattach 2.0 is newer. It has the advantage of allowing you to change which way it pivots and it seems to be sturdier. The Pivot is $100 less, a bit less sturdy, and can only swing one way. I am wondering. With the extra sturdiness of the Rakattach seems to bring extra weight and bulk. Wondering what the best combo here is.
I like the versatility and sturdiness of the Rakattach but at the same time I am going to be taking it on and off quite a bit.
Looking forward to hearing everyone elses experience.
My only complaint is that with ice dirt and mud, the pin that holds the swing arm in place can be a little hard to pull out. I tapped it from the bottom with the back of a hatchet to get it started. Rackattach is also 100% made in America and the Kuat isnāt. Iāve used it mostly for hauling around my hitch rack for firewood, coolers, etc. so Iām putting a lot of weight on it and Iāve been really impressed with the performance. Hereās a few pics.
In the snow pic I took my buddyās hitch rack that was loaded with firewood because he couldnāt open the tailgate on his jeep (and needed to) so i just took the rack for the rest of the day and had no issues.
