Recommended Bike Rack and Swing Away Adapter for E-Bikes on 2023 Ford Bronco
Question:
Hi, Im looking at purchasing a 2023 Bronco that has a spare tire rear-mounted, hoping that there is an option for a 2-bike rear hitch rack for fat tire bikes, 75 lbs each. I saw the video on the Kuat Pivot extender which looks like a good option, but which rack do I pair with? Thanks in advance

For a hitch mounted bike rack for your 2023 Ford Bronco I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This will accommodate your 75 lb bike weight along with the fat tires on your bikes.
You can use this with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B. If you want to save a little money, the Yakima # Y02483 would also work. This bike rack uses arms that secure the bike in the middle of the frame so if you don't have a horizontal top tube you'll also need an Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO for each bike.
Keep in mind, the hitch extenders will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. The bikes with the rack will be 204 lbs plus the weight of the extender. I'm assuming these are e-bikes, so you may have to remove the battery if this exceeds the reduced capacity of the hitch.
