KUAT Pivot V2 Swing Away Bike Rack Extension | Durable Adjustable 90 & 120-Degree Swinging Bicycle Hauling 2" Hitch Extender | Car Truck Backdoor Access| 250lbs Capacity - Passenger Side

Great fit for my 2023 Bronco Sasquatch, this allows full access to my cargo area without removing bikes. High quality little to no slip, excited to take it for an adventure!

This swing away extension is great, worked very well for our campervan to hold bikes with a bike rack. It clicks open at 90degrees then over 90 after that. Very strong, can even stand on it when checking the van roof. Though we must've backed into something as it's slightly off center now, but still usable for the bike rack, but not to attach something to tow perhaps. That's my fault, not of the item, so be careful backing up with this on!

I have a Ford Transit Class B camper and I have both a bike rack and a utility rack I use so I am swapping them back and forth. Once you install either of these racks you cannot fully open the back doors of the van. Because of that a swing-arm is necessary. I bought the Kiat pivit 2 because it had already been tested with my Hollywood bike rack and deemed ok by the Hollywood folks. This swing-arm when installed not only comes with its own lock but also an internal tightening mechanism which tightens the hitch internally with the turn of a hex nut. Because two ebikes is a lot of weight on a hitch I added an additional u-bolt where the pieces come together to give it more structure strength. When tightened there is very little bounce with my bikes on the rack. It is nice to release the two locks and swing my bikes all the way out and have full access to the back of the van. Its a great product and necessity for those have Class B vans with doors in the back.

This hitch is GENIUS! I have a $800 e-bike rack that was no good to me until I found this gem. It’s swings 120 degrees to get the bikes out of the way of the doors. Which allowed me to load/unload 2 more bikes on the inside of the van!! Took me about 7 minutes to install the 5 screws, install the hitch into the receiver, push the pin in and close the key lock. It feels rock solid, looks great, well built. Best purchase I’ve made in years.

I use this to hold a cargo tray & tool box on the back of our camper van. Its works great. Locks down securely and very easy to swing even when its loaded. It's a bit pricy, But, I think its money well spent on a quality product that should last for years .

I purchased to use in mounting a Yakima bike carrier to the back of a Sprinter van. The installation was easier than I thought. It included all the tools and the instructions were easily understandable. The build quality matched my high expectations. Both the rack and the included tool. I still wish the latching lever moved down to lock (vs pull up). While if the latch was to release the locking pin holds everything place, I still wish locking the latch was with gravity. A very small quibble. I like the swing away auto locking positions at 90º and 120º. My only other wish is that it was narrow front to back so everything didn't stick out from the back of the vehicle as much. I searched everywhere for something that was narrower and the only product I found was discontinued. The Pivot V2 is not bad - actually it is the best I found, but it could be reduced for my application. I am likely to cut down the hitch post on my Yakima rack as it has excess length for my needs. Happy with the purchase and would comfortably recommend to family and friends.

Just got back from a 1,200 mile trip with a full capacity load. There is really no other way to attach a load to a newer Bronco (mine is a 2022) with the swing open tailgate. Unless you don't intend to get into the back of your Bronco while that load is there! The KUAT Pivot V2 is very high quality and a joy to own. I love the latching feature which will hold it open at a 90° and then an even wider angle if needed. Oh, and it comes in a driver's side swing so it doesn't bang the door which opens to the passenger side. It also arrived very nicely packaged.

Works great

Sehr solide gebaut.

The Kuat swing arm is a great piece of kit. Using a hitch receiver provides flexibility and utility not delivered by other products. You can also order left (US Driver's) or right side swing versions. If not using a Kuat bike rack you may need to think through the arm’s secondary hitch mounting and anti-rattle devices to get the best solution for your needs e.g. 'LetsGoAero' silent hitch pins. I’ve used a EU ISO std ball hitch with a Thule bike rack (Thule wont sell their hitch version in Europe :( ) Overall I can’t fault it.

Installed on my F350 carrying a Northern Lite 10-2 camper. Needed a 4' extension, and a stair modification, but it works perfectly.

I was initially concerned that a passenger side swing might interfere with the exhaust (Ford E series chassis) but the arm is above the exhaust. If you have a hitch carrier or rack that gets in the way of opening the rear doors, you will find these to be extremely convenient. It also raises the attached item by a few inches which helps when backing up on rough ground or base of a small hill. I may shorten the shaft/shank on my hitch carrier since a swing arm extends it out further. All tools are provided (e.g. 5mm hex key) so there is nothing else to buy.

Très bien fait et très solide. Installation facile.
