Most Popular 2 Bikes for 2008 Kia Sorento

I was extremely happy with the product. Set up was easy and quick and I was surprised how sturdy the product was, as well as the fact it stayed perfectly in place for several days of travel. Also, mounting/dismounting of the bikes on this carrier is easy and quick. Adjustment of the individual locking straps was somewhat difficult and the product's directions weren't extremely helpful. Enjoy.

Excellent product! Fits our needs! Only problem. Is the bands are breaking. We use bungee cords.

Well packaged, simple assembly, easy operation. Just what I needed to carry two bikes on the back of my Kia Sorento SUV without impacting the spoiler. Had to install a hitch (e98843) for it but it was worth it. The whole installation was easily completed by me alone in about an hour and a half, but I work slow since I'm old!

I bought this bike rack a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with it. I can install it onto my vehicle and put two bikes on it in about 5 minutes. It uninstalls just as quickly and folds up for easy storage.

I ordered the Swagman XTC-2 bike carrier along with Hidden Hitch class III hitch for my 2012 Kia Sorento. Both came in 5 business days and with no problems. I assembled the carrier on my garage floor in less than 15 minutes. It's well designed and fits good in my new hitch though it seems to wobble a bit - even with the 2" adaptor. Can't wait to try it out with our bikes!

Sturdy, easy to use and gets my bikes where they need to go and at a great price

I bought a bike rack and this hitch receiver yesterday and installed them both. The hitch is definitely going to be easier to install with 2 people, as lifting it into place is awkward with this hefty thing. The install will also definitely be easier with a raised vehicle. Of course, I did this without raising the car, and I did it all on my own haha. Obviously, this took me longer as a result. I've very little experience working on cars, so I made a conscious effort not to be daunted by lowering the exhaust- I had never even lowered/removed the spare tire before this. Huge props to etrailer for the install video. It helped SO MUCH. The product's printed instructions for this install were so terrible I would have removed a star, but the vids answered all the questions I had. If you're concerned about tools: I removed the rubber hangers for the exhaust with my hands for the most part, though the one closest the rear of the vehicle, I employed a screwdriver then wrench to pry it off. I'm convinced I could have done this with my fingers as well. The WD-40 was a nice tip. I think it helped slip those off easier. I ended up having to jack up the car to re-hang the exhaust, as the newly installed tow rig reduced wiggle room under the car, but this wasn't a big deal. I'm going over all this stuff for those of you looking to do your own installation. To sum up: Love the hitch. Looks great, and is definitely sturdy. 5 stars for sure, because the cons are vastly outshone by the pros.

etrailer has the best pre- and post-sales customer service I've ever seen! I started out not knowing anything about hitch-mounted racks. So I wrote to etrailer telling them about my car and type of hitch I was about to have installed. Samuel wrote back with lots of great information tailored specifically to my car. He even included a photo that looked just like my 2017 white VW GTI with a hitch and rack installed. Okay something of a coincidence. But the rest of the assistance I got from the crew at etrailer was just as prophetic. I went into this a novice and came out knowing lots more about hitches and racks and finding the rack best suited to my situation. I have a small car, a class 1 hitch and a heavy mountain bike. I got exactly what I needed. As to the Swagman rack itself, it works fine. If I had a different situation I would probably buy a platform rack as they are easier to load. There's no reason to buy a bike rack anywhere else.

I ordered this bike rack, put it on my car, and transported my bike over 2000 miles. It holds the bike steady, the rack itself is sturdy. It would be good for the paper user manual to show mounting for SUVs as well.

Works great for my 2019 Jeep Renegade. I adjusted it to be open a little more, so I could use my rear wiper. It also keep pressure off the rear spoiler.

This attaches solidly to the receiver and holds my 27.5” x 2.3” trail bike and my 26” x 4.8” fat bike securely. I’m very pleased with the quality and the price. The shipping experience with etrailer was flawless.

I've taken this rack all over New England on the front of my Dodge Ram 3500 pick up truck with a truck camper. I had no idea it was possible to love a bike rack so much. After one drive I didn't ever worry about it again. So nice that it locks up when I am camping or taking a quick stop for food on the road. So glad I bought it from etrailer. They totally help me pick the perfect rack for my challenging set up.

I have bad shoulders and could no longer lift my long wheelbase recumbent bike up to my Thule rack. The new rack solved the problem and made it much easier to load the bike. Very happy I got the new Swagman rack.

Thank you again for such excellent customer service. I am including two pics from today showing the bikes mounted on my 2009 Honda Fit with the bike rack we purchased from you. Please feel free to use them in any of your publications, print or web.

The rack works great for our mountain bikes. Easy to load and unload. The arms to stablize the bikes can be awkward sometimes but nothing that would dissuade me if I had to purchase again. I'm glad I researched the distance between the rack and the hitch under the bumper. Worked out perfect.

Great product
