Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
Product was delivered on time and damage-free. PRO's: Great product! Well built, sturdy, heavier than expected, holds (2) bikes really well on my 2016 Chevy Colorado! The Lock works to prevent theft of the unit, you need to get a long cable lock (suggest two 6' thin masterlock cable locks) for locking the bikes to your truck bed hooks. CONS (VERY MINOR): The button to collapse the unit was difficult to push in, maybe put some grease on it in the factory. The aluminum fork holders have a cut-out in them that is sharp, suggest sanding/filing the sharp edges and burrs. The inside square tube had a burr in it.
This is an excellent bike rack both in design and value! I installed this onto a 2015 Chevy Colorado in about 10 minutes including test fitting one of the bikes all without any issues. This is a very well made product, sturdy and secure. Even though my truck does have a bed liner it didn't require the drilling for the pin / nut installation at each end of the rack as shown in the instructions. I did notice that the pins are really too short for their intended purpose (to prevent someone from forcing the rack up above the bed rail and stealing the rack and the bikes in one package) but this is easily remedied with a longer bolt which I will install before taking the rack "on the road." Overall an excellent product and a terrific value, less expensive in this case means a superior rack at an excellent price.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
A good carrier and rated four stars for value. Yes, I have seen nicer carriers but always more expensive. I carried two bicycles (male and females frames) from Colorado to Texas with no problems. Note: I bought a pool noodle and cut it to make pads for the bicycles since the hold down arm rubber is a little thin/hard and can rub the paint off the bicycle frame. This carrier is easy to use and appears to be durable so I recommend it.
Easy to put together mounted on truck looks like it is just what I wanted.Have not traveled with it but mounted up nice.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
The quality of the rack is fantastic. Sadly the keys do not work on the Locking Quick Release Skewers. I've contacted Swagman about this and am waiting for a response.
Quite pleased with nearly everything regarding this rack. Setup was super easy right out of the box, loved that I didn't need any tools. Bikes feel very secure and I haven't noticed any shifting or movement while driving around. My only complaint is that it's possible for someone to remove (or steal) the locking skewers when there's no bike attached just by unscrewing the endcap. Even if the handle is locked in place, just unscrew the endcap and you can remove the whole locking mechanism. So...works fantastic when there's a bike to be hauled, but makes me uncomfortable when I just park the truck and walk away. Works great, could just be a bit more secure.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The carrier arrived in great shape, well packaged. Assembly took about 15 minutes & instructions were simple & easy to follow. the carrier is well thought out & will handle a wide variety of bike styles. My wife & I have Schwinn cruisers & the clampdowns handle her step-thru ladies bike very well. The carrier will handle racer-style & mountain bikes, as well. Very quick to mount carrier on my truck & it is very easy to load & unload the bikes at your destination. Bikes are held rock-solid, with no damage to their finish or to your vehicle. Great product at a very, reasonable price!
I think this is a good bike carrier. If the tubing were a little bigger for the reciever it would be more solid.

Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 4 Bikes - 54" Wide
No difficulty putting the pad on my Tacoma tailgate by myself. I have an E-bike with a larger than normal down tube but the straps on the pad were sufficient in length to get around the tube and firmly affix the bike to the pad. 1st transport was about 25 hwy. miles and all went well. Good access to tailgate handle and back up camera if needed.. Satisfied with the purchase.
Very satisfied with this product! It is plug & play out of the box, it takes 1-2 minutes to install, and it fit my Honda tailgate like a glove. The cover is lightweight yet fully protects my trucks finish. The Swagman is an excellent value.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
My 2016 Trance 2 size Large fit on it fine. I went with this rack because I was afraid other racks would not hold the Trance securely due to its shape. The swing away feature goes out far enough that it doesn't hinder my 05 Equinox's lift gate. Assembly was a bit of a pain due to 2 holes being very tight. Bolts are aluminum so they aren't as strong, but then again the rack is only rated for 90 pounds.
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.
What our customers are saying:
"I purchased a hitch, wiring harness, bike carrier and bike adapter for a newly redesigned 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything arrived in a matter of days and either fit or worked perfectly. Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
