It is a Kuat NV 2.0 - not sure what the '.0' means.

I didn't look yet at the swing but am only guessing the tire may interfere. It is easy enough to take off though. If we end up doing more bike...

The Kuat I have tips down and with bikes still on the rack you can open the rear doors. I can't open the door with the Spare tire but you would be able to do so.

Looks good! What is that gadget on the end of the rack? (extreme end, away from the van).

That is a clamp to hold the bike if you need to perform maintenance, tires etc.

I also think if you look at a few models like 1-Up super duty it says in FAQ it is ok for RV/Trailers so you just need to really get a good ($$$$) one IMO. I loved the 1-Up rack but my wife like the...

Bicycle rack conundrum... Continued.

I think what I was told is the 170's have a longer rear axle to hitch than the 144". I think people simply refer to the 170 being the issue for easy reference but it is the rear axle to hitch. I...

Yes, this is what I was told as well by Thule, Yakima and Kuat. They commented that my Short SS would be okay and all mentioned the distance of the axle to the back of the vehicle so the extended...

I was actually told by the bike carrier manufactures that the hitch weight isn't the issue and is more the extra "bob" the back end takes due to the long distance from the rear wheel to the hitch. ...
