Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.

We have used the Swagman Roof Rack a number of times when we have needed the additional bike carrying capacity. It took a couple attempts to get the initial spacing of the bike rack properly balanced on the van’s roof rack as recommended by the instructions. But it was easy to do and once set was very easy and quick to put on and take off. The rack works great, the bike is easy to put into place and secure. The bike and rack are very stable and quiet and haven’t required any mid-trip adjustments. We always put the cheapest bike on the roof (lol) but do use a bit of duct tape to protect the finish just Incase. We are very satisfied with the rack and consider it quite a deal for the money.

Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.

Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.

Yakima FrontLoader Roof Bike Rack Review - 2013 Dodge Ram
Today on our 2013 Dodge Ram pick-up truck 1500 we are going to be testing the Yakima FrontLoader roof mounted bike carrier for part number Y02103. To mount this bike rack up on top of our vehicle, we are going to set it on top of the front cross bars. Well use the hand knob on the front of the bike rack to tighten down the front clamp around the cross bar. In the rear, we are going to use the wing nut, T-Bolt and the clamp to secure the rear half of the bike rack around our rear bar. With both clamps secure our bike rack is mounted and were ready to load up. To load our bike the first thing we need to do is open up the front wheel hoop all the way.
Dodge Ram Pickup Bike Rack Questions
- I do have a solution for you, however the SportRack Upshift SR4883 referenced in your question can secure a maximum tire width of 2-1/4 inches, so it will not work well with your mountain bike that features 3 inch tires.
I instead recommend looking at the Swagman Upright Roof Bike Carrier # S64720. This is a frame-mount bike rack that will work great to secure your bike to the roof of your vehicle. It will work with tires of up to 3 inches wide and a maximum wheel base of...
