Most Popular Locks Not Included for 2009 Chevrolet Silverado

The bike rack is superb. I had to order a set of replacement straps because I did not realize that over time, vibration would cause the spokes to cut into the rubber on the straps. Now, I just make sure the straps are not rubbing against the spokes. The rack held up well from Pennsylvania to Florida and back with two bikes in it, and is easy to put on and off the trailer hitch on my Silverado pickup. I haven't used the frame adapter very often, simply because I found a workaround. But when I do use it, it works quickly, simply and as advertised.

Great product every thing looks as though it is built well easy assy,have not used yet but will with a trip to Florida in a week. You people said the rack would ship in 24-48 hours I had the items in my hands in less than 48 hours thankyou for the good service. Wayne A.

Just received my new Bike Rack and have un-packaged it. Although I have not mounted it to my truck just yet I must sat that I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials and workmanship that went into the production of this bike rack. Quite honestly for the great price I was not expecting anything so well built. This bike rack will be mounted in front of my truck (2 inch front hitch), so that I can haul my 5th wheel and still take my bike with me. I feel confident that I should have no problems.

Great product and great purchasing experience. Highly recommend etrailer.com

The rack installed in minutes and held the bikes perfectly. Very firm grip on seat post. loaded 4 bikes in the bed of my truck in minutes. Very happy !!!

pad works great !!

Build quality is good and the fact that it can be bolted in to keep it from wobbling is nice. The rubber straps seem tough. My only concern is the attachment method of the third strap for the seat tube. It's a piece of plastic that snaps onto a rubber block. It should hold up, but I could see it breaking if you remove/install it alot. Also, the fact that it can adapt to both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches is really nice and harder to find on 4 bike racks.

This is a very strong and secure Bike Rack. But the modeled rubber saddles are too big and the kid's smaller frame bikes will not fill over them. I ended up cutting off the lower attaching posts on each of the 8 saddles to get the bike frames over the saddles. Smaller saddles would make it easier to load and unload the bikes.

Great product money well spent! Little bit of a challenge to figure out how I was going to make it work with a pickup with a toolbox in the back especially having a Fat Tire Bike but the flexibility of the clamps makes it very easy to find a location to hold up my bike. Looks dope and works great easy on easy off. Note to self when the clamps are on Mark the edges with a marker or paint pen so this way when you take the clamps off you can put them right in the same spot and you don't have to worry about figuring out where they go again

Just received the veto gripper bike rack and I gotta say the design is excellent and the materials used are robust...very solid!

What I needed for a fair price. Never let down from etrailer. Thanks!

Although I haven't used it yet.. Looks solid.. It came covered in some slimy black stuff all over it and the package. I imagine it was some kind of toxic Chinese slime.

Product fits as described. Fast shipping. Works great. Great first time experience with etrailer.

This product fits over the tailgate of our full size pick up. We bought this product because we wanted to take our bikes with us on our camping trips. We had a receiver bike rack but needed some way to carry our bikes securely while pulling our travel trailer. We also wanted to be able to carry our grandkids bikes. We have secured at least 5 bikes with the Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack. The only problem we had was that the velcro tie downs didn't fasten as tight as we would have liked. We have used additional bungie cords to keep the bikes in place. That is the reason this review did not get a 5 star. We are very happy with this product.

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.

This is the best product online. I had to do a few adjustments to make room for the clamp on the trailer hitch. The particular ball hitch I had had a reinforcement welded to the ball which I had to have a piece taken off. Once it was filed down the clamp worked like a champ. Now I have a $200 bike rack that I purchased a year ago that is obsolete. The product arrived early and in good shape. I would definitely buy this bike rack and use this company again!
