Most Popular Locks Not Included for 2018 Ram 3500

We purchased the Swagman to go into the hitch receptacle on our 2016 Dodge Roadtrek campervan. The rear doors would not open with the rack installed as per the original instructions since the horizontal male part going into the vehicle's hitch receptacle has a bend upward before connecting perpendicularly with the actual bike rack. I solved this by reversing that part so the bend is downward, thus allowing the campervan's swing doors to open over the entire rack when the empty rack is in a horizontal position. I do have trouble remembering which of the cushioned inverted "J" holders goes on the vertical post first. I think colour coding will solve that problem. The rack seems to work well despite the poor roads we travelled over to and from lower Michigan and Florida and back .

I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?

This is a well designed rack. Adding and removing bikes is quick & easy. Just set the bike on & slide the padded hook down onto the bike frame to secure it; no straps required. If only one bike is transported, it does not interfere with opening the trunk on our Tesla Model 3. With 2 bicycles the trunk cannot be opened. For 2 bikes the Swagman model that can tilt might be worth the extra 22 bucks. This rack uses a bolt in the receiver hitch instead of a pin. This locks it securely preventing it from moving in the hitch & rattling. It also requires a wrench to remove it, good for theft prevention but one more thing to keep track of. For storage on the vehicle the top bar folds down. For storage in the garage, the left & right bars fold up & you can hang it using one of the hooks.

So far so good. The rack wiggles a bit, but that is expected. I have it on my 2007 Corolla and I have hit 65+ on the highway with it and have not had a problem. I would recommend getting a locking pin. The one included is threaded, which aside from security, makes it harder to take the rack on and off. I would also look into a DIY way to secure the wheels better. I am using some bungee straps which do the job no problem. The two bikes I carry are at the racks capacity.

I’m a senior and was searching for ways to transport our ebikes without having to lift them. Fortunately I found the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds and installed them on my utility tilt trailer. They work great, were easy to install and no lifting onto a car mounted bike rack needed.

Love this bike gripper system, I have 2 heavy E bikes that I roll up a ramp into my truck bed and quickly secure them with these grippers

Great product. Worked as advertised . Used to be able to take 4 wheeler and bike. etrailer did a great job helping me find an item that would work for my application 10 out of 10 on etrailer. Thanks Vanessa

This rack is great. I've traveled about 2,500 miles with the bike loaded up and it has been rock solid. Well designed. I bring a little folding step ladder with me that I use to load/unload the bike. When I'm not using the rack, it lays down nicely and you never even know it's up there. Highly recommended product.

This rack has been great on my 2016 Nissan Rogue SUV, very sturdy and holds bike(s) securely. I've used it with a fat bike, a regular mountain bike, and a road bike. Amazingly this rack gave me a couple inches MORE clearance in my small garage than my previous hanging-style rack. The aluminum trays themselves are still in great condition, though other parts are showing some rust after 1+ years (and since I use it in the winter as well I leave it on most of the time). The tilt-down feature is great, but pulling the pin and reaching the knob to do this is awkward with bikes in place. When removing the bike, it can be hard to squeeze the lever on the hook that holds the front tire. (Maybe because of pressure when the hook is against the tire?)

I've had this hitch for a day and used it just once on my Miata (class 2). Going on a trip tomorrow and will use it on a Nissan Frontier pickup (class 3). It seems like a quality hitch for a very good price. I feel like buying one of those other brands (named after cities) you are paying a premium for the brand name. Hollywood provides a great value without gouging my wallet. I like the aluminum rails and the entire system is easy to use. Just holding off one star since I've only had it for a day. As a bonus it arrived a day earlier than it was scheduled!

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!

We used this bike rack for at least 2 RV trips. The third trip we took we lost one bike off of the rear most rack. Ended up having to replace this bike rack with one from another store. Would only recommend for local trips only.

The straps are junk and four of them tore within a week of using them. I also almost lost one bike because of the straps. If I could I would return this unit.
