Most Popular Swagman for 2018 Ford Explorer

The bike rack came really fast & my hubby put it together easily! Love the way it folds out of the way to get in the back of my Explorer. Very sturdy! Huge thanks to Tammie for all her help with my purchase - she was great!

EASY TO USE. A LOT EASIER THAN I THOUGHT. I USE ON EXPLORER, F250, AND TRAVEL TRAILER. LOVE IT. BUY IT!

After reading several reviews I went with the Swagman for my 2014 Ford Explorer. It worked best for my family, as we have varying sizes of bicycles. Being able to adjust the wheel holders is nice and keeps the bikes secure on the rack. Let me say this is one of the easiest racks to load. Although my kids bikes have the foot pegs on front and back wheels we were still able to load all 4 bikes (2 adults/2 kids) with not much trouble. We did have to put the kids bikes on the outmost mounts due to the foot pegs, but other than that it was no trouble. I have a family of 6 so, we still had to rent two beach bikes when we reached out destination. The bike shop owner commented on the rack and said it was the easiest he had seen to load and unload. Now this is a guy that rents more than 200 bikes out at a time, so he has probably seen his share of bike racks. Overall I would give this rack 5 stars for ease of loading and unloading. If getting in and out of the back of your SUV is must with bikes loaded then this is NOT the rack for you. However, once the bikes are unloaded it is easy to raise and lower the rack to get access to the back hatch. etrailer.com did a great job delivering the rack and answer my questions. I would give them 5 stars!!

Exactly as expected, got it a day early! So far, 2 out of 2 things I have purchased from etrailer.com have been early and very good products. I recommend getting a rubber mallet or hammer and block of wood to assemble the horizontal cross members. It seems that the powder coating made the fit kinda tight (better tight than loose). Other than that assembles pretty easy. Took me about 20 minutes. I love how it holds 4 bikes! It folds up nicely on a 2014 Ford Explorer and is out of the way.

Carrier was fairly easy to assemble and holds 2 bikes nicely! Have not tried yet while traveling with our Explorer to see if any 'wobbling' issue as some other brand bike carriers seem to have but looks like it should be no problem as hitch has clamp that securely holds carrier in place. Overall like product very much so far and it is really nice quality & design!!

EASY TO ASSEMBLE, FIT PERFRECT ON MY FORD EXPLORER, GREAT PRODUCT

Great product. Easy to install. Went camping with the bikes on top of the vehicle. Travel approx 150 miles on State Roads and Interstate. No noise, no problems, no worries.

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!

i received my bike rack last night and tried it out for the first time. I think that so far it is great.. i was even able to get a girls bike to work without using the adapter. shipping was pretty fast also. overall very happy with my experience and the products i ordered. i won't hesitate to order from etrailer again. thank you for the pleasant transaction.

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.
