Recommended Swing Away Extender for Saris Bike Racks
Question:
I have a 2inch hitch receiver on a 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. I currently use a Saris bike rack with the universal hitch fits 1.25inch hitch or can use the attachment to fit a 2inch hitch. Would this swing away extender work with this setup?

Thanks for the pictures! It looks like you have the Saris All Star Tray Style Hitch Rack. I have a solution for you but the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks item # PVP20B is only compatible with Kuat bike racks. Instead you will want the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks item # SAR36VR. I did confirm with Saris that this bike rack is compatible with a hitch adapter.
The Saris Swing Away will open to your passenger side and has plenty of capacity for your Saris bike rack and bikes. It looks like the hitches for your 2022 Rav4 Hybrid have a 600 lbs tongue weight. This adapter will reduce the capacity to 300 lbs which will still give you plenty of capacity to carry your Saris bike rack and bikes.
I have linked a review video below.
