Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches
This is sobeasy to install! It only took me 20 minutes. This definitely gives me much needed storage space for my 2023 Thor Scope 18M
Stout and well executed. EASY to install. Could use some ergonomic tweaks (I’m 70), but overall is a very good value. We’ll see, cuz we haven’t gone 10K miles yet... etrailer rocks btw

Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
Since the hitch on my car is very recessed below the bumper I needed to use a hitch extender for my bike rack. I decided to look into swing away mounts because I figured that would add convenience when I’m on a road trip with a rack full of bikes and I wanted to access the rear of the vehicle. This product is great…it sticks out a bit more but it’s worth it to have the convenience of the swing away option.
Solid, bullet proof, yet the convenient swing away allows unrestricted access to the back of my vehicle. It is heavy, but being made of steel, it holds a heavy load. I have an old solid steel Thule rack that I modified so that I can move the bike carrier bars 180 degrees - from the traditional position carrying the bikes away from the car and carrier, or flipped over so that the bike carriers rest on my spare and carry the bikes between the rack and the car. This allows me to carry very heavy bikes, such as e-bikes compactly without extending the length of my vehicle much, and still allowing me to use the swing away feature of the Yamaha extender. Photo shows a light road bike on the hitch, but it works equally as well with heavier or multiple bikes.
