Padded, Ratcheting Hooks
The XTC4's mast has a pair of ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes securely by the top tube. And because they move independently, you can carry bikes of different shapes and sizes. The hooks have soft padding that won't scratch or scuff your bike's paint.
Sliding Wheel Hoops
The rack has wheel hoops that provide a stable base for mounting your bikes. Each hoop has a hand knob that lets you easily slide it along the tray to accommodate your bike's wheelbase. It also includes a rubber strap on each hoop that secures your bike's wheels to the rack. If you need to carry fat bikes, there are hoops (sold separately) that let you carry bikes with tires up to 5" wide.
Folding Design
You can fold the masts down for access to your rear cargo area. Just pull the spring-loaded release lever at the base of each mast and fold them down. You can also fold the rack up against your vehicle for storage. Pull the pin at the base of the rack, fold it up against your vehicle, and reinsert the pin in the hole at the bottom of the rack.
Complete Security
A braided-steel cable lock secures your bikes to the rack. It has a vinyl coating that protects your bikes from scratches and scuffs. There is also a keyed-alike locking hitch pin that secures the rack to your vehicle. The hitch pin works with a built-in anti-wobble device in the shank to eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport.

So far I’ve just assembled it and took a quick test drive around the block. My initial thought is this thing is perfect. It’s super sturdy and easy to use. My only gripe and it’s not fault of the rack, but it’s heavy…
by: Chuck Matsoff01/20/2013
If you've done any research or read any of the other comments on either this rack, or this seller...rest assured they really are as good as everyone says! I ordered my rack on around 4pm est on a Friday afternoon and within an hour I received an email that said they have shipped my product AND upgraded to priority shipping. Can't say enough positive things about the customer service!
When the rack arrived, it took me a little over half an hour to get it set up. Probably would e been faster if I were even slightly mechanically inclined (or if didn't I didn't have to borrow a socket wrench from my neighbor). We finally had an opportunity to load up the bikes and head out for a ride today. As others have said, the first time you load up your bikes, it's kind of like a puzzle to get them situated. Took about 15 minutes. This rack is awesome! Very sturdy and the bikes were very secure. Only racks I have had in the past were rooftop fork mount racks. This is so much easier! On e we got to the trail (over an hour drive) getting the bikes off was a piece of cake. Afterwards, it was time to load them back up and it was less than 5 minutes to get them all on and ready to hit the road. There were other 4-bike racks on the website, but this one had enough great reviews that I felt comfortable making the purchase. After the fact, I'm very glad I did! I can't imagine the $800 rack can be that much better than this, and I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a 4-bike platform rack. I will definitely recommend this rack and etrailer.com to everyone I know.

Loads and unloads bikes super fast, and holds them firm. Wish I would have purchased this a long time ago instead of struggling with my old frame mount rack. I actually ride more because I don't dread having to load.
Adjusts to different bikes easily. Time will tell if the fittings, springs, straps hold up to weather (I leave it on car). It is fairly large and heavier than the more expensive 4 bike racks (it's mostly steel vs. composite plastic), so if you are going to take it off hitch and store it - be prepared. Only recommendation I have is to add softer foam on the frame bar for traveling on rough roads.

The rack works well. Use it often. 4 bikes is key.Since I dont leave it on the hitch, my only issue with it is the weight when taking it on and off. But I knew that going in, and was working to a price point, which precluded lighter manufacturers.
by: Den07/28/2014
I love my Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack. Very simple to put together. In less than an hour you are done. The quality and finish of the rack is superb. You can put different size bikes from children to adult without a problem. Bikes are secure, I have driven at highway speeds without any concern at all. I had a two pole hanging type bike rack before this one and the bikes were getting scratched and I was always concerned of them falling off. The swagman bike rack folds away nicely when not in use and it fits perfectly on my 2005 Honda pilot. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this product.

The best Bike Rack I ever purchase.
by: Clifford04/27/2024
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

Bought this bike rack on sale during Memorial Day weekend. Reviews have always seemed good. So I jumped at the chance to buy a quality 4 place platform bike rack [on sale]. However it took a long time to get as the company (Swagman) shutdown during the Covid shutdowns. I finally received it early July. Very well built, solid bike rack. I used it on our western trip to Colorado. Bikes stayed tight and did not loosen up the entire trip both ways! I didn’t worry after I seen they were still solid at the first fuel stop. Love the ratcheting frame holding clamps. I did have to purchase the fat tire hoops for my sons bike. And they too were well made. Love that the rack comes with a cable and lock to lock the bikes and rack to the vehicle. I highly recommend this rack.
It’s only down fall is that you can’t open the tailgate with bikes on it. But for the $$$ I can overlook that. It does fold up and out of the way for driving without bikes.
Only a couple of negatives.....it is a heavy rack (which is a good thing). And also bulky which can make it hard to store for some people. It does stick out rather far, approx 4ft. I put some reflective tape on the end supports for people to see. And you cannot access the rear tailgate area (see above).
I had a 4 bike hanging rack for many years. Never realized how much I hated that until I used this one. No damage to the bikes. They don’t bounce around. Just an all around better way to haul bikes.
by: Matthew 01/02/2024
Great rack. Fits 2 kids 24" mountain bikes and 2 adult mountain bikes.
very sturdy construction.
Make sure you get the 1st threads of the bolt in properly.
With the pacifica we have the bolt is a bit tight to get in.

Love the trailer hitch.
by: Dan M.11/16/2012
I can't believe how quickly I received the bike rack. I ordered it on Monday and got an email Monday that it was shipping. The package arrived at my house on Wednesday; 2 days! I put it together today and installed it to check it out. Easy assembly especially after reading assembly comments and suggestions online while I was shopping. Best advice was to put it on the vehicle before assembling the remaining parts as the vehicle becomes your second set of hands to hold it. I think this will be perfect for our set of mountain, ladies, and kids BMX style bikes as it was tough to load all the different types on my last hanging rack.

Ive used the rack for both trips around town as well as 2 day trips to and from the mountains. Its really solid and holds the bike securely so I dont worry about them at all. Folds up easily when the bikes are removed and then easy to relower when needed again.Really, the only downside is the weight when putting it on the vehicle and taking it off. Its still a one person job and the strength of the unit is worth that. I knew that from other purchaser comments so its something I decided was worth it for the quality of the rack.
by: Tim C07/15/2013
This bike rack is very solid and holds the bike very securely; not rattles, no wobbles, no scuffed bikes. It is a bit of a puzzle trying to get four bikes on the rack the first couple times but it is getting easier with practice. I have two adult bikes and two children's bikes which pretty much run the gamut on sizes and the rack holds the smallest just as well as the largest. As has always been my experience, the customer service from etrailer was extremely fast.

Just some kudos to Etrailer and Swagman: somehow the folding pin in my unit got a slight bend in it. After searching for a replacement pin locally in vain, I contacted Etrailer. Tamara responded immediately to my request, but couldnt locate the exact part. So she forwarded on my request to Swagmans home office. Dave at Swagman got right back to me, identified the exact part and sent out a replacement, no charge. He was quite surprised to learn the folding pin had failed. Needless to say, working with Etrailer and Swagman has been greatthey stand behind their products with AMAZING service!!!
by: K Razack10/13/2013
I finally got tired of messing with my hanging rack. It was built for 4 bikes but could only hold 3. I recommended to a friend to buy a platform rack if he ever got one. He got a Thule. It was nice but twice as expensive as this one. I just got my XTC4 last week and took it fully loaded 300 miles. The 4 bikes, which were all different sizes all fit, didn't move or rattle, and didn't touch each other. It took awhile to find the proper positions for all the bikes but now loading and unloading is a snap. This thing is solid. Just make sure to assemble it on the hitch. Makes it a lot easier.
by: Rick H.10/05/2015
As our family has grown, so have our bikes. We needed an upgrade from our frame mount rack. The XTC4 was an easy decision based on the many product reviews and some careful research. First, shipping was amazing! I ordered it on a Monday, and it was at my door the next day. Assembly took about an hour. Setting up and adjusting for four bikes took about another hour to make sure all bikes would go on and off the same way each time. It fits our fleet of mountain bikes nearly perfectly. It also fits behind our 2012 Honda pilot with room to spare when folded upright. Great product, awesome shipping!
by: Ryan07/09/2020
The other reviews were very fair. The rack is sturdy so the trade off is that it’s pretty heavy. I’m ok with it but my wife won’t be able to swap it between the CR-V and Ascent. The instructions leave a lot to be desired but you get the hang of it fast enough through trial and error. It took me an hour to assemble and another hour to mount it to the hitch, adjust the hoops for each of our bikes, and get everything dialed in. PLENTY of clearance backing out of the driveway which was a nice little surprise. I’m adding a picture to confirm that a beginner bike, cruiser, and hybrid mountain all fit just fine.
by: Greg 07/30/2023
The Swagman XTC4 looks to meet my needs very well. The assembly instructions included with the Swagman XTC4 are a little sketchy but the staff at Etrailer were outstanding. I have not experienced customer service from any retailer that matched the customer service I experienced at Etrailer.
by: Erin04/26/2023
We bought this rack to carry 4 bikes behind our motorhome. The Rack is not difficult to assemble and seems sturdy. It fits all of our bikes well even with one fat tire bike. The rack comes with a security cable that loops through the bike frames and then locks onto the locked hitch pin bolt. It all seems pretty secure and not too difficult to lock and unlock. My big complaint is with the hitch pin bolt. It is a shiny chrome finish and looks nice, but it didn't work well with my rack. The locking hitch pin was difficult to thread in by hand and seemed too tight. I mounted it on our motorhome and the pin bolt was difficult to get in. I moved the rack to our van and was unable to get the pin to work. It was difficult threading in again and tightened about half way and then stopped. I tried taking it back off and it locked up completely. I had to use an impact to get it off. I am not sure why the threads were so easily damaged. The pin is shiny but I wonder how hard it is. I am contacting support for another hitch pin.
by: Steve M.04/28/2011
This is a great hitch. The installation was easy and the unit fits nicely on the back of the vehicle. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to carry more than two bikes. It is a bit heavy. The piece that fits into the reciever on the hitch is a bit short.
by: Mike 11/08/2021
This is a great bike rack. A few friends have more expensive One-up, Thule, and Yakima racks but this one seems to work just as well if not better. It's heavy but I can handle it. I have used it on the back of my motorhome on a couple trips from NorCal to SoCal. It was also on the back of my Jeep while I towed the Jeep and had the Jeep on a trailer. I even went off road with the Jeep with the bikes on the back, they did great. With so much blockage of the lights I also added a little red LED light powered by a 9V battery to help add some illumination to the bike rack for night driving. I don't want anybody smashing into $5k worth of bicycles.

Quick delivery and free shipping of a product I only found at etrailer.
by: Junior07/31/2016
The platform looks really good on the car. Easy to assemble but will require an extension to Your hex key so keep that in mind. Very quiet and practically no rattle sound or any unwanted movement. Bikes do look very secure and do not move at all. Very good product for the price.
by: Scott 05/30/2023
I really enjoy this rack for our four bikes. It is easy enough to work with and offers the security I was looking for. It is not so easy to store once removed, but I knew that in advance and felt this was the right rack for my price point. Overall I am very satisfied.
by: Erik 04/27/2021
We've used this bike rack with our '14 Sienna for over a year now and it works wonderfully. I especially appreciate the way the rack folds against the back of the van when not in use. After many hours of research before making this purchase, I could not be more happy with this rack.

Bought the Draw-Tite trailer hits together with the Swagman XTC4 4-bike rack. Bought based on reviews on e-trailer and other sites that this is a sturdy and good-working combination for carrying 4 bikes.
* Delivery: Fast (<5 days)
* Packaging: Package had holes, which is not unusual as the box with the hitch has a lot of empty spaces. Others had same issue, but nothing to worry about. The hitch cannot really break easily and the hardware is safely stored in the 2inch receiver.
* Installation: Very nice video instructions on etrailer. Installation really can use two people, but it's fairly easy with two people. Had some problems with one of the nine screws to bite although I did a try run before mounting the hitch. Worked after some minutes of wiggling the hitch so that the screw got the correct angle to bite.
* Usage: Installed the day of delivery and used it the next day. It's the first time I used a trailer hitch and for sure the first time I used to carry 4 bikes. Stopped looking in the rear-view mirror after 1 minutes seeing that it's barely moving at all. So with a limited use so far I can confirm other's reviews of this combination and I think it works great. Recommended.

- Can the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack be Converted Into a 2-Bike RackThe Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack # S64665 doesn't have the ability to convert to a 2-bike rack, but we have plenty of other options that do. If you like the Swagman line of bike racks then the next step up is the Swagman Quad 2+2 # S64FR which has a little bit of a different design but it does allow you to convert it to a 2-bike rack when needed, plus it can carry up to 45 lbs per bike as opposed to the 35 lbs per bike for the XTC4. I have attached review videos of each for you to check out.
view full answer... - 4 Bike Rack Recommendation for Back of 5th Wheel CamperAt the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use. For a Swagman 4-bike rack that is approved for this application...
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Bike Platform Rack That Clears 2018 Honda Odyssey with Draw-Tite Hitch FoldedThe Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76170 for a 2018 Honda Odyssey will require more than 4-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack while folded up so the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack part # S64665 won't work as it only has 3-1/2". Instead, the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Platform Rack part # HR4000 is what I recommend as it's the next most cost effective option that will clear while folded up.
view full answer... - Will the Swagman XTC4 or a Similar Bike Rack Accommodate Childrens Bikes on a 2009 Volvo XC70 WagonThe Swagman XTC4, # S64665, will accept a tire diameter greater than 15 inches. The minimum wheel base (center of front wheel to center of back wheel) is 27-1/2 inches. If the bike you want to place in the rack fits within those dimensions, then the hook will come down far enough to secure the bike (about 13-1/2 inches from the lowest point on the top of the wheel hoop to the inside of the hook at its lowest position).
view full answer... - Locking Hitch Pin and Cable Lock for the Swagman XTC4, # S64665, 4 Bike Platform RackI would be happy to point out a few accessories for the Swagman XTC4, # S64665. For a locking hitch pin, the only available option is the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin, # S64027. This is the only lock that will work because it and the rack are uniquely threaded to fit with each other. For a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack, you can use lock, # e98891. This is a 10 foot cable lock with a plastic coated steel strand. You can route the chain through the bike and through...

You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 12-3/4 inches this rack would fit your vehicle just fine. For more info on how to take this measurement check out the help article I attached.
view full answer... - Features of Swagman 4 Bike Wheel Mount Bike Rack Part # S64665Due to the weight involved and the length of the carrier, the platform type carriers are limited to a 4 bike capacity. If you would care to use a hanging-type bike carrier we have 3 models that accommodate 5 bikes. Of these, I would recommend either the Yakima DoubleDown part # Y02425 or the Thule Roadway part # TH915XT. If I had to choose between the two, I would go with the Thule model. The straps that retain the bike to the rack are wider and constructed of thicker rubber. On the Swagman...
view full answer... - Locking the Swagman XTC4 Wheel Mount Bike Rack and Securing the Rack to the VehicleThe topmost hook on each upright can be locked with a padlock. You would need 4 small padlocks to lock each of the bikes. I have a recommendation that may be a bit easier if you do not like the idea of 4 padlocks. You could use the Roadmaster Coupler Padlock, item # RM-305, and a cable like the Master Lock 10-mm Braided Steel Cable - 6 foot, item # 78DPF. With this lock and the cable you could slide the lock through one of the sets of holes at the base of the outermost upright bar and...
view full answer... - Recommended Economic 4 Bike Rack for 2018 Toyota Highlander XLEThere are lots of options for bike racks compatible with your 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE. My recommendation is to go with a platform style rack that will tilt for cargo area clearance and fold close to the vehicle when not in use. Hitch pin location is key, but your Highlander won't have any issue with most bike racks because the hitch pin hole is not extremely far back from the outer bumper. My recommendation for you is the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Platform Style...

In most cases though, this isn't a problem. You'll want to see if you can find out the depth of the hitch, as this sometimes can cause more problems with the bike rack, as the shank or stinger can reach internals of the vehicle and cause damage. For the Swagman XTC4, part # S64665, you shouldn't have any trouble installing it onto the OEM hitch on your 2015 Toytoat Highlander. I've included a video of our...

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13392 is also a great fit for your Jeep with the rear spare and has a thicker powder coat but a lesser tongue weight rating.

First, they said to try and push the hooks down further and then release it back up. Most likely the ratchet is stuck between points and getting it down to the next space will help it get back into track. Next, they said if it is really on there and you can not get it down further you can let some air out of the...

The Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman 2 inch Hitch Racks is part # S64027.
view full answer... - Malone Runway HM4 VS Swagman XTC4First off, the Swagman XTC4 # S64665 is motorhome approved so it is a bit more sturdy than the Runway HM4 # MAL82VR. The Swagman also has the bike cradles inclined up to gain more ground clearance as the Runway does not. All in all I would recommend the XTC4 to you as you're used to the Swagman Products and it seems that it fits your needs more than the Runway HM4.

- Comparing Available Hitches for a 2015 Mercedes Benz ML350 4maticTypically most trailer hitches that fit on the same vehicle will have only subtle differences, like whether or not the cross tube is round or square, or whether the cross tube is concealed behind the bumper or not. The Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141 are both 2" hitches that will install in the exact same manner, so there isn't any real difference between the two. With that said, I do recommend going with the Curt # C13411 since Curt hitches do have a much more durable powder...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda OdysseyThe safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...
view full answer... - Draw-Tite # 75784 Hitch and Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Compatibility on 2011 Acura RDXThe 2-inch Draw-Tite Hitch we offer for your 2011 Acura RDX is part # 75784 which has a rated tongue weight capacity of 400-lbs. You are correct that any extender/adapter used in this hitch will reduce its capacity by half. This means that your hitch-and-extender would have a tongue weight rating of only 200-lbs. Since the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Carrier # S64665 itself weighs 59-lbs, your net load capacity for your bikes would be only 141-lbs. This 35-lbs-per-bike may be enough for your 4...
view full answer... - Will the Swagman XTC4 Trailer Hitch Mount Platform Bike Rack Scratch the BikesOn the Swagman XTC4, # S64665, the wheel straps are rubber and the hooks are padded, so they will not scratch the bikes. The hooks prevent the bikes from rocking back and forth, so they will not contact each other while traveling. You will just need to take care when loading/unloading the bikes not to make contact with another bike or metal parts of the rack. I have included links to the instructions and a video review of this rack for you to view.

If you can find a way to carry one of the bikes inside your vehicle you can carry the rest on a hitch mount rack. I suggest the Thule Apex XT, part # TH9026XT, because of 3-point connection to hole the bikes securely on the rack. This helps keep them stable so they aren't swinging into each other or your vehicle. Since several of your bikes are children's bikes you'll likely need a bike frame adapter bar...

If you wanted to use a hitch extension like part # C45795 then you'd have weight capacities reduced by 50% so not a good idea.

This hitch will also work great with the Swagman Bike Rack part # S64665 that you are interested in as well.

This is an awesome bike rack. At 52 and 115 pounds I can load and unload the bikes myself.That said, even with a lock on the rack securing it to the hitch, someone stole the rack off the back of our car over night. Just wanted to warn the rest of you as I order another.
