Gen 3 - Bike Rack

[Pnwrider]

Best rack there is: https://www.ride88.com/product-page/quad-v3-quick-kit

And lose all my bed space? Hard pass.

I’m tagging along cuz I run a quad 1up and while I’ve made it work, I could go for a setup that doesn’t require me to remove the rack or put a towel down to unload the bed.

Just NV2.0 all day…

Why not get a swing out for the bike rack? I have a Kuat swing out and rack. Just swing it out and drop the tailgate. Works very well.

As @Dnpbakon and @dillard09 stated, purchase the Kuat NV 2.0 along with the Pivot v2 and you’ll have a damn fine setup giving you exactly what you’re looking for…the ability to open the tailgate unimpeded. In the attached pic, you’ll see the bike rack and pivot arm in action together. You also have the ability to do “add-ons” for additional bikes.

Can’t go wrong with this setup. Plus it’s nice eye candy too! I feel you on not wanting to lose bed space.

Pivot™ v2

The Küat Pivot v2 swing-away hitch accessory ensures that your bike rack never gets in the way of your back hatch, rear doors, or tailgates. With a quick-release lever, you can safely swing your bike rack (up to a 4-bike rack) out to 90 degrees and up to 120 degrees.

I use the Hollywood Racks 4 bike carrier and it works well. It’s heavy, but not bad.

That said, I can’t lower the tailgate. However, I can have the pins pulled and the entire rack pulled to the ground in like 5 mins for unloading anything from the bed (dog trailer in my case). Then just put it back on.

Price is one of the better for the size too.
