Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The bike carrier was easy to set up and has functioned flawlessly. For such a good price, I was surprised at the high quality of parts. The customer service from etrailer.com has been excellent. I use this carrier along with a Draw-Tite receiver hitch on my 2012 Ford Focus.
Photos of the hitch and bike rack on a 2010 ford focus, easy to install, great hitch, and bike rack is very well built and very sturdy.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Very easy to put together. Highly functional and easy to stow. I haven't had my bike on the rack yet so I can't comment on how the bike does on the rack. I worked off of the online PDF for the installation. The paper version, it was difficult to see which washers went where, using the digital version allowed me to magnify it to get the detail I needed.
This is a very high quality bike rack but I'm marking this a 2/5 because I'm very disappointed for one major reason: the threaded hitch pin/anti-rattle bolt does NOT prevent rattle. The bolt itself easily slides right through the hole and does not require tightening, and therefore the entire rack rattles. I'm desperately trying to find a solution and I'm very dissatisfied. I'm driving a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium and I'm using the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch (http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Ford/Focus/2012/24872.html?vehicleid=2012306671).

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

Received the product quickly. Haven't installed it to the vehicle yet, but from the provided document it should not be too difficult.
