Most Popular Swagman for 2018 Ford Transit Connect

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

Thank you Etrailer for replacing my first bike rack that was either defective, or damaged in transit. This bike rack is great! Very light, unlike other platform bike racks. I have arthritis and I can handle this one. I would not bother with a hitch pin lock because it's so easy to use a wrench and steal the rack or bikes. I recommend a cable lock, through the hitch welded ring. With a few uses, you'll see how quick and easy it is to use. I'm satisfied, and good price. I have it on a 2014 Ford Fiesta.

Set up and used the new bike rack for a trip shortly after receiving it. I liked how it balances two bikes with minimal movement which was a big improvement over my previous rack. I also liked how well it supported the bikes in transit with two contact points for each bike. I'll be taking it on a much longer trip next month and will be in a better position to comment after I have more experience.

Well, I like the rack. It was sold as a low sway rack but it is not. The movement is mostly where the bar that comes out of the hitch receiver and hooks onto the main bar of the rack I think this connects with a pin so there’s a lot of movement here. My other problem is getting a replacement part. I lost the long hook /ratcheting handle that holds the bike on the rack. I’ve been trying to get a replacement from swagman and their website says that it is out of stock and has been so for several months. So my bike rack is now just a paperweight. I would have given it another star if I could get the replacement part.

it was easy to put together. My 66" wheelbase recumbent fits! Good price. I have been looking for a bike rack that fits for awhile. FOUND IT!

I bought this one for my camper, I had the 4 bike rack all ready. I purchased this one because these racks are the best, period! If you want a solid rack, and one that doesn't make your bike move while in transit to potentially get scratched from another bike, then get this one or the 4 bike one. I will abuse my bikes while riding, but not by transporting.

I absolutely love this bike rack! My wife and I have used a Thule trunk mounted bike rack for the past couple of years and we dreaded using it every time because the bikes would either rub together while in transit or the bikes would beat up the back of the car! (Thus we had to use about a dozen bungee straps to secure them!) The Swagman XTC-2 is the best! Both of our mountain bikes fit beautifully, and the anti-sway bolt that secures the rack to the hitch is great! I can't give enough kudos to the person who invented this bike rack! This is a worthwhile investment to anyone who is looking into a hitch mounted bike rack.

Nice so far, not sure about the fork mount yet. Appears to be satisfactory

Pros: That model of roof bike rack allows fork mount to be moved back and forth as other models seems to only offer "fixed" position directly above cross bar. Price is reasonable. Con: Outside diameter of the adapter used with 9 mm skewer is way smaller, that inside diameter of the holder it goes into, resulting in significant wobbling of bike even when skewer is tight. Fixed the problem wrapping piece of aluminum flashing around adapter to make it fit much tighter and that stoped wobbling. Expect to have adapter and holder to match each other way better.

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.
