Swagman Titan Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan

content loading




Review of the Swagman Titan Hitch Bike Rack on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan


Today, on our 2011 Toyota Camry we are going to do a test fit of part number S63410 from Swagman. This is a Titan 4 bike rack. As a few things to note about this bike rack, that it will work with 1-1/4 inch receiver hitches, both class 1 and class 2. However, if you are using it with a class 1 hitch, you are limited to carrying just 2 bikes. Now, this will also work with a 2-inch receiver hitch with provided spacer. We will begin our test fit by installing the bike rack into the hitch.

Then we will install and tighten down the anti-rattle bolt and put the safety clip in on the other side. Next, we will get a few clearance measurements. From the bike rack to the bumper, our clearance is going to be 7 inches. Ground clearance is going to be 12-1/2 inches. Now go ahead and check access to your trunk.

Alright, that looks good. Now, go ahead and unfold the bike rack and load up a bike. Now, before we load up a bike, we will make sure the straps are out of the way on the cradles we are going to use and we will make sure the anti-sway bar cradles are tilted towards the inside. We will load up our bike and balance it out. We will go ahead and run the straps around the c-tube and attach it to the anti-sway part of the cradle.

They will run our straps over the top tube. And that's it. Those are the steps that are needed to load up a bike and with that, that will finish it for our test fit of part number S63410 from Swagman, the Titan 4 bike carrier on our 2011 Toyota Camry.
