Kuat Pivot v3 Swing Away Adapter - Passenger Side

The Kuat Pivot v3 builds upon their best-selling swing-away hitch adapter with refined upgrades that improve stability and confidence. A newly engineered safety pin closure system significantly increases stability, helping reduce movement when carrying heavy loads while driving. The Pivot v3 features quick-release 90-degree and 120-degree swing-away positions, giving you unobstructed access to tailgates, rear doors, and cargo areas without removing your bike rack or gear. Available in both driver and passenger side swing options, it adapts to a wide range of vehicles with a 2" (minimum Class III required) hitch, including trucks, SUVs, hatchbacks, and vans.

Finished with thoughtful details like a black matte powder coat, locking hitch pin, and Kuat's patented Flatlock Hitch Cam system, the Pivot v3 delivers the premium feel, security, and reliability expected from Kuat. Backed by our No Worries Limited Warranty, it’s built to perform wherever your adventures lead.

250 LB Capacity

The Pivot v3 supports up to 250 pounds.

The farther the weight is from the hitch, the more torque is applied, which limits how much weight or how many bikes can be safely carried.

Kuat racks are limited to 3 bikes (maximum 250 lbs), and all other bike racks or cargo systems should follow the distance-to-weight guidelines:

• Up to 28" (from the accessory’s hitch-pin hole to the furthest point): 250 lbs max total weight
  
• 28-40" (from the accessory’s hitch-pin hole to the furthest point): 150 lbs max total weight
  
• Refer to the Pivot v3’s Loading Capacity Guide (below) to learn more.
  
• Loads within the 40" limit may exceed some Class III receiver ratings - check your vehicle or hitch manufacturer for exact tongue-weight details.
  
• Vertical hanging style racks are not compatible. It is not recommended to use Kuat bike racks in more than a 3-bike platform rack configuration with the Pivot v3.
