Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
Solid, bullet proof, yet the convenient swing away allows unrestricted access to the back of my vehicle. It is heavy, but being made of steel, it holds a heavy load. I have an old solid steel Thule rack that I modified so that I can move the bike carrier bars 180 degrees - from the traditional position carrying the bikes away from the car and carrier, or flipped over so that the bike carriers rest on my spare and carry the bikes between the rack and the car. This allows me to carry very heavy bikes, such as e-bikes compactly without extending the length of my vehicle much, and still allowing me to use the swing away feature of the Yamaha extender. Photo shows a light road bike on the hitch, but it works equally as well with heavier or multiple bikes.
On our first trip the hitch worked wonderfully, but our bike rack failed us. On our second trip, the hitch bolts loosened and we constantly had to check to make sure it was not loose. Very disappointed in both products. We had them put on our vehicle by my adult son, who works with machinery. The product was poorly made and designed. This was not the fault of the user or the person who attached the hitch and rack.

Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
Already have a Sris bike rack, has been an excellent rack and well be compatible with this hitch, both very well built
Love it! It swings out of the way so I can get the back door open. The other advantage is it allows the back door to be open a few inches at night (when the hitch is in the locked position) for airflow when it’s hot.

Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Passenger's Side
The Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender allows us to carry two bikes as well as have access to our rear doors. etrailer.com is a very well managed company that respects it's customers and communicates well more than most. Thank you!
Excellent product, solidly built and easy to install. I was hesitant because of the full size spare tire on the back ladder. The videos and the specifications (especially the sizing details) gave me all the info I needed to make the decision to install it on my Sprinter. The swing away rack gives me full access to the rear of the vehicle. I wish I had bought it sooner.

Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches
Stout and well executed. EASY to install. Could use some ergonomic tweaks (I’m 70), but overall is a very good value. We’ll see, cuz we haven’t gone 10K miles yet... etrailer rocks btw
This is sobeasy to install! It only took me 20 minutes. This definitely gives me much needed storage space for my 2023 Thor Scope 18M

Love the rack and the folks at e-trailer got it to me remarkably fast. Everything looked great set up for the most part. The directions were very clear and it required minimal effort.
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
