Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
I bought this bike rack because I didn't want to have to remove my bed cover every time I wanted to take our bikes on a trip. This rack works perfect because I can roll up my cover and this thing just clamps across the bed. Taking the front tire on and off is kind of time consuming but when I travel with my brother who has a hitch mount rack, it takes him just as long to unload his bike as it takes me to unload. The wheel mounts tighten easily and the bikes appear secure during long drives, so I don't worry about them coming loose. Of course, you'll want to wrap a bike chain around the bike and rack if you plan to leave them out to make sure no one can steal the bike (although it would be missing a wheel)
It worked well, but not without doing some "tweaking". When set down on the bed rails the locking pin would not line up with the hole in the bar so it took some filing on the hole to get it to work. Also the axle mounts would not set flat on the mounting pads so that also took some work with a file to get them to mount flat. Once I got all of that done it works fine.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is a well designed rack. Adding and removing bikes is quick & easy. Just set the bike on & slide the padded hook down onto the bike frame to secure it; no straps required. If only one bike is transported, it does not interfere with opening the trunk on our Tesla Model 3. With 2 bicycles the trunk cannot be opened. For 2 bikes the Swagman model that can tilt might be worth the extra 22 bucks. This rack uses a bolt in the receiver hitch instead of a pin. This locks it securely preventing it from moving in the hitch & rattling. It also requires a wrench to remove it, good for theft prevention but one more thing to keep track of. For storage on the vehicle the top bar folds down. For storage in the garage, the left & right bars fold up & you can hang it using one of the hooks.
So far so good. The rack wiggles a bit, but that is expected. I have it on my 2007 Corolla and I have hit 65+ on the highway with it and have not had a problem. I would recommend getting a locking pin. The one included is threaded, which aside from security, makes it harder to take the rack on and off. I would also look into a DIY way to secure the wheels better. I am using some bungee straps which do the job no problem. The two bikes I carry are at the racks capacity.

Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I've been looking a eBike racks for about a month and finally decided on this Swagman rack because it's rated for use on an RV. That's what I needed because it will be on the back of my travel trailer. I had it on my wish list on another site but etrailer had it for $[XX] less, so I jumped on it. It was fairly easy to put together, I installed it on the hitch on my truck so I wouldn't have to wrestle with it on the floor of my garage, that made it easy to assemble. This rack is very well built, and is very solid, it doesn't move while on the hitch on my truck (I installed the RV hardware) so I have no doubt that in will be fine on the back of mhy travel trailer.
So far so good! I have used it on the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee and on the back of our travel trailer. It is a pretty solid e-bike rack. I would definitely recommend this e-bike rack. We did purchase it for using on our travel trailer, but also works great on the back of our cars, which have 2" hitch receivers. On the travel trailer we also installed a Draw-Tite Hitch, along with a Curt 14" hitch extender for 2" trailer hitches and a Malone anti-rattle hitch lock system. We purchased everything from etrailer. I am very happy with how all of this works together for hauling our e-bikes on the back of our travel trailer.

SportRack Ridge Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
One Year Later – Still Going Strong I’ve owned this rack for a year now, and I couldn’t be happier. It securely holds all 4 of my bikes, even on longer road trips, with no shifting or wobble. One of my favorite features is the ability to tilt the rack away from the vehicle—even when it's fully loaded. That’s a huge convenience and makes it super practical for daily use. Durable, easy to use, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable 4-bike solution.
This bike rack has worked well for us. We have a Jeep Wrangler, with the spare tire on the back of the tailgate, and needed a rack that would hold the bikes in a trailer hitch, and swing away so we could easily access the rear storage of the jeep. This has worked out perfectly! I did have to use a hitch extender to clear the rear tire, but that was expected. The rack works well, holds the bikes as expected, and is easy to use, and get on and off the vehicle. I am very satisfied!

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This rack is heavy, easy to assemble and has zero wobble. The reason I purchased this rack was due to the quality of the rack, but also my last experience with trailer. Great customer service, and if you have a question, it's pretty easy to get hold of a real person! I actually purchased this for an Ebike.
Excellent bike rack. Easy to put together. Fits perfect with the etrailer curt hitch. This is a heavy duty bike rack, which also means it heavy but still manageable. Using this for my Aventon Ebike.

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Super easy to load 4 bikes and go. Takes me 5 minutes to get all 4 on the rack, compared to 15-20 with the rack I had before. I would change nothing honestly. It's a fantastic rack. It has performed great. I can now quickly load 2 kids bikes and 2 adult bikes on the rack with no special adapters. We can hit trails faster and spend more time riding. There is no real downside. It's also significantly cheaper than competitors and provides a much easier and smooth experience. Is it a great rack for small families who want to ride together. No adapters needed for different sized bikes and super easy to load and unload. I would not recommend this particular model if you don't plan on using more than 2 slots. But for 3 or 4 it rules.
One year in and it is great. I have a 2021 Subaru accent and it is perfect. We carry 4 adult bikes and while it is a tight fit it works great. The rack is VERY solid and does not move when tightened up. Over the past year we have used it 3-4 times with no issues so far. It is easy to use and one person can easily load and unload the bikes. The tilt up feature is nice and when the rack is down and there are no bikes we can open the back hatch without an issue and there is plenty of clearance. We have been very happy with the performance and the price.

Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Great quality bike rack when paired with the Rhino-rack cross beams. When I use the bike rack and cross beams they are attached to my 2016 Subaru STi and I have drove it fairly aggressively with the bikes on the roof. Everything has stayed attached just fine. The only thing I will point out is that you should check the attachment hardware every few uses because it will occasionally vibrate loose, nothing serious but if you never pay attention to this your bikes may fly off your roof! Ez fix though. I rate the rack 10/10 in my experience.
Great bike carrier! Etrailer always provides me with high quality products with fast deliveries.

Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black
Love this rack and use it every day on my Toyota Tundra pickup. I ride my cruiser on the beach and loading/unloading bike/s is really easy. I travel to riding locations as well and even at highway speeds, two bikes remain secure and wobble-free. My bikes are expensive and the stand-up mode of securing them means no worn paint or scratches. If any complaint it's not made for the salty air here in FL and certain parts corrode...even with daily rinsing off. The rack is perfect for the fat and oversized wheels on bikes I've owned...even heavier ebikes...WILL BUY IT AGAIN.
I've had it for a year and I'm VERY happy with my bike rack. Love the built-in locks for deterrence and piece of mind. STRONGLY recommend getting an installer who knows what they're doing. I took it to my dealership and they were going to cut into metal... took it to an authorized installer and they had it securely bolted in in half an hour. I've already demonstrated it to two people out and about who wanted advice on hitch racks. It's a good, solid, easy to use rack! Zero regrets.

Swagman Enforcer Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Nice so far, not sure about the fork mount yet. Appears to be satisfactory
Pros: That model of roof bike rack allows fork mount to be moved back and forth as other models seems to only offer "fixed" position directly above cross bar. Price is reasonable. Con: Outside diameter of the adapter used with 9 mm skewer is way smaller, that inside diameter of the holder it goes into, resulting in significant wobbling of bike even when skewer is tight. Fixed the problem wrapping piece of aluminum flashing around adapter to make it fit much tighter and that stoped wobbling. Expect to have adapter and holder to match each other way better.

Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 61" Wide
Doesn't seem to fit the 2024 Chevrolet High Country tailgate as the straps aren't long enough. Also, the padding doesn't go far enough down the outside of the tailgate. Could be because I have the factory bed protection which covers the top of the tailgate.
The product review/installation video helped me make my selection. I selected the full size pad for 2001 Silverado 1500. Installs easily, fits nicely, flap in pad is positioned for easy access to tailgate latch.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
The quality of the rack is fantastic. Sadly the keys do not work on the Locking Quick Release Skewers. I've contacted Swagman about this and am waiting for a response.
Quite pleased with nearly everything regarding this rack. Setup was super easy right out of the box, loved that I didn't need any tools. Bikes feel very secure and I haven't noticed any shifting or movement while driving around. My only complaint is that it's possible for someone to remove (or steal) the locking skewers when there's no bike attached just by unscrewing the endcap. Even if the handle is locked in place, just unscrew the endcap and you can remove the whole locking mechanism. So...works fantastic when there's a bike to be hauled, but makes me uncomfortable when I just park the truck and walk away. Works great, could just be a bit more secure.

Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
This bike rack is awesome. Our two e-mountain bikes fit perfectly on the rack. We have taken them on long road trips with no issues. Great bike rack.
Great sturdy rack, and the wheels are very beneficial. Have never been a fan of the Thule locks, but the rack makes up for it.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.
GI love the Rack, it is easy for me to handle, (as a 89 yearold rider.), two bikes ride and fit very nicely. Like how it folds down,and how it folds to open the tailgate . Great quality for the money, I would highly recommend this rack

Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On - 15 mm Thru-Axle Skewer
Cheap alternative compared to having to buy a 9mm thru axle mount for the utili-track in my Nissan Frontier AND THEN having to buy an adapter for that! For under $10 I bought some parts from a local hardware store and made this mount fit the track. It's sturdy, and high quality.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff! Best way to go for a nice bike rack system. Thanks, Phil T.
The Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On, is just what I was looking for to be able to build a bike rack for carrying one of my bikes on my motorcycle. It was easy to mount and it holds my bike in place while riding on bumpy dirt roads, city streets, highways and even when I hit some twisty country roads. It's really easy to load and unload my bike when I get to where I want to ride. I use a velcro strap around the quick-release and the fork arm as an added safety as well as a couple tie-downs from my bike handlebars to my motorcycle passenger pegs to help distribute the weight on my rack. If you want to build your own DIY bike rack I totally recommend the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On.

Curt Clamp-On Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Ball Mounts
It broke, (the tension handle snapped off) the first time I used it, which was 45-60 days after I purchased it. Nether Curt nor etrailer provided any warranty relief since it was 30 days post sale. It's in a landfill now, and I won't buy from either company again.
A frustrating experience. I bought this bike rack hoping that it would be a really good fit for our needs. We went on a road trip where we were going to camp as we went. Towing a small trailer I mounted the rack on the back of our Honda Element. I had trouble getting the bikes (two) to ride high enough off the road. On the first day of the trip I had to stop at a bike shop to replace a tire that had melted as it had been rubbing on the tailpipe along the way. I also had a major challenge connecting the rubber straps because they were so stiff. Now, I am getting older and just don't have the strength I had in my younger days, but still I just think they are too stiff (I wasn't the only one that had trouble getting these things on...we finally got them on between me, my wife, and the bike tech). It ended up being a frustrating trip. We ended up not using the bikes due to the difficulty we had adjusting the rack. Sorry for a poor review. It is partially my own fault because I could have chosen a different rack in the first place.
A Closer Look at the Kuat Huk Curved Tailgate Bike Pad on a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and you're looking at trying to take your bikes from point A to point B, but you wanna save your hitch for other accessories, or you don't have a hitch reducer so you can get your bike racks mounted on here, then a tailgate pad is gonna be a much better option for you. So let's check it out. Like I was saying, your hitch is probably gonna be too large for any other types of standard bikes because right now we have a two and a half inch hitch receiver. And even if you did have a hitch receiver that did work with your bike racks, I'd recommend saving that for something else if you had a trailer or anything else that you wanted to take with you, especially if you're planning some larger or longer camping trips. And what I also like about a tailgate pad is they're just really easy to work with.
Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks Fit Verified - 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and you're just kind of getting into biking for the first time, but you wanna take your friends or family out with you, Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check it out. So what I really like about a tailgate pad is it's a great way to transport your bikes really neatly, because they're gonna keep 'em all organized, much better option rather than just throwing 'em in your bed where they can get tangled up or scratched up. And what I like this about this more than a hitch mounted bike rack is a hitch mounted bike rack is gonna block a lot more in the back of your vehicle. And we're gonna be able to leave this open, so if you want to carry a trailer at the same time, you have that ability.
2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike: Complete Installation
Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Piston SR Single Bike Rack and how it fits on a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. We have ours on the bed ladder rack in our case, we see it on roof racks sometimes, but we see it on a lot of ladder racks too. So if you're interested in using it in this way, we'll show you how it works. The Piston is a single bike platform-style bike rack capable of supporting one bike up to 67 pounds and held primarily with this dual wheel mount design, so there's no frame contact. As you can see, we have our carbon frame bike on in our case and I'm not gonna be worried about any damages it's gonna take while it's traveling, 'cause there's no contact to the frame bike.
Installing the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack on your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima HighRoad bike rack and how it fits on our 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. We have ours on these Yakima ladder rack here. A lot of people like to use this on a roof rack, but this is how we're using it in our case. So let's check out how it works. This rack holds onto our bike, primarily by this two front hoops here and one extra strap in the back.
Mount: Swagman Paramount Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks on a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hey, it's Ethan from here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Paramount Seven Bike Tailgate Pad for full size trucks on our 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Might be a good option for you if you're trying to get up to seven bikes where you're needing to go, but maybe you're towing something or you don't want the added length that a bike rack will add from your hitch, this could be a good option for you. The bike is being held by the frame on these hook and loop straps in the back. You can slide them up and down a little bit to adjust. If you do have a carbon frame bike, we recommend not using a tailgate pad or anything that holds onto it by the frame, 'cause it could potentially be damaged while it's driving.
A Closer Look at the Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Benton Shifts&Grins bike rack and this is gonna be the one for four bikes. Now I'm just gonna unfold this because one of the main things I like about this one is that it's very compact. So when you're trying to store in your garage, it's not gonna take up very much space. And we're gonna be talking about how this fits on our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Now what's nice about this is it comes in two parts.
Test Fitting the Benton Shifts&Grins 2 Bike Rack - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hi, Matt with Etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Benton Shifts and Grins bike rack on the back of our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. So let's check it out. So I think this rack's really gonna be for someone who is going out riding pretty often, but you need that hitch available for something else, maybe like your trailer that you're towing behind you. So when this bike rack's not in your hitch, it's gonna have to go somewhere. And that's where I think this really excels at because this actually has the ability to fold in on itself to store really neatly close to the wall, which is also really important because we do have a bigger vehicle.
Benton ShiftShow 4 Bike Rack Spec Fit Check - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the ShiftShow bike rack. Now this can be a great option if you're looking for something really compact so you can take your whole family out for your bike rides and something that's relatively easy to use and store in your garage on our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. So now I've got my bike on here and this is really gonna excel at carrying more of your standard style of bikes because it is gonna have a weight capacity of 40 pounds. And what's also so nice about that, having those lighter bikes on here is just gonna make it a little bit more easy to maneuver when we need it tilted away. And here's gonna be that knob to tilt it back.

We have two cradles holding our bike in place with 3 straps; 2 on our frame and one is our anti-sway strap in the back. The first thing we will do is remove our straps at the top and then we will remove our anti-sway strap. We can pull our bike off and set it off to the side. Any time that we remove our straps, I always suggest to replace those so you don't lose or damage any of them. With those back in place, we will take a few measurements. The first one is going to be our distance overall with the arms hanging out.
Fit Check: Hollywood Racks Traveler Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado we will be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches, Part #HR8500. Let's get started by sliding the shank of the bike rack into the receiver. We'll line up the pin holes, thread in the anti-rattle bolt and tighten it with a quick turn of the wrench and then you can insert the cotter pin on the other side. With the rack in place, you'll see your ground clearance is about 5-1/2 inches. The closest point from the back of the truck to the rack is about 6 -1/2 inches and the overall dimensions added to the back of the Silverado is about 12-1/2 inches. By pulling the pin at the bottom of the mast, you can tilt the rack back and have full access to the back of the Silverado. Next, you can pull the pin at the top of the mast, swing your cradle arms out, reinsert the pin to secure it in place. With the cradle arms extended, the overall length added to the back of the Silverado is about 38 inches. Now we can undo our cradle straps, grab our bike, place it in the cradle, secure out cradle straps and you're good to go. That completes our test fit of the Hollywood Racks Traveler, Part #HR8500, on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.

We'll fit our straps into the head of the carrier and use an Allen key to tighten the Allen bolt which will secure our straps around our front bar. We can then replace our black plastic cover. We'll go ahead and open up our skewer to make sure it's loose. Here at the rear, we'll undo one of the Allen bolts to bring our clamp around our rear bar. We'll reinsert the Allen bolt through the clamp, and then, we'll secure it be tightening down the 2 Allen bolts with an Allen key.
What our customers are saying:
"Wow!! Ordered on Tues. Recieved by Fri. in California. The hitch took 8 minutes to install on my 2005 Corolla!! 8 Minutes. Easiest hitch install ever. The bike rack is great too. It folds away like its not even there. Thanks for the great service."
