Most Popular Swagman for 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup

After one year of using our swagman, we are very happy. We own RAM 1500 with ram boxes and mounted the swagman at the back end of the bed. We mounted the skewers on the bottom side of the bar, to mount the bar upside down. This let the end brackets mount perfectly on the side walls just in front of the end gate. Our bikes when mounted face the rear. Works great!

This rack fits and functions perfectly in my 2018 Ram Rebel. I have the Ram Box cargo management system and I set it up as recommended and it was great! Then I reversed it, as some other folks have done, and mounted it near the tailgate just off the bed floor. This allows me to load and unload from the ground and it keeps the bikes below the cab roof line. So wherever the truck can go the bikes can go without snagging on anything. Went out for a varied terrain test drive and it didn't budge. Package came clean and undamaged with a completely functional inventory of parts. Every part was machined properly and the lock works as well as the release button. No problems at all with anything! Just rotated the fork mounts 90 degrees for the low mounting position and it was done. Etrailer really came through on this one! I will continue to do business with this company!

Very easy to assemble, even easier if you read the directions first and look closely at the diagram to install the tire loop brackets correctly. Excellent solid mounting for the bikes and the rack. Especially like the screw-in hitch pin. Locks it up tight. Even better, it is easy to load the bikes. Much easier than my old one. I can load/unload my bike is less than 30 seconds, my older carrier took several minutes untying straps, loosening a top clamp plate, putting parts away. This one folds up quite well for storage and is lighter too. Great carrier.

Product has been used a few times, very easy to set up and adjust, works well and securely holds two bicycles in place. I would highly recommend this rack for anyone with one or two bikes. also note it folds up when not used. I would purchase from this company again. unit was well packaged and company did exactly as promised...

Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP

For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

Using this as a front mounted bike rack since I'm hauling a camper in the back. Fits perfectly on my ram 1500. Feels very sturdy so I don't have to worry about anything coming loose. This plus a front mount hitch receiver costs less than a swing arm hitch attachment by itself so I would recommend this combo over a swing arm in the back for anyone looking to bring bikes with their truck camper or fifth wheel.

Easy to use Would have liked it to have a 5/8s hitch pin hole

Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!

As always with products I buy from e-Trailer, this item is exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Easy assembly, I bought 2 but only installed one until I check the fit with my rooftop carrier.

My order arrived from eTrailer in two days and the container was in great shape. I received great assistance from Julie, she is very professional and provided great info about my prospective purchase. The Swagman Chinook is very well constructed, heavy duty and heavy. The basic assembly took about 45 minutes with more time making adjustments to fit my bikes. It is very stable when connected to my 2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab, I noticed very minimal wobble or shake on a test drive after I connected it. I would definitely recommend it to others.

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.

This is a very solid product! I have used it for over a year now and love it! I have had up to 3 bikes on this without a problem and have traveled over 8 hours in the car one way with absolutely no issues. Many other bike racks like this one that I see on other cars look unstable this is not unstable in anyway. I did have to file some of the paint off of the rack to get it to fit in my 1 and 1/4" hitch but once that was done it has been perfect. I also bought the locking hitch bolt which is awesome too.

Well built and good quality. So glad I can haul bikes easier with our Honda Pilot now!
