Most Popular Swagman for 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe

A bought the swagman XTC-2 due to the many good reviews on various sites. Delivery from etrailer was less than two days to my door. The assembly was simple and without problem. I had some concern about the 2" hitch adapter, but the fit was tight with no wobble whatsoever. I just came back from a 200 miles trip with the bikes. The two MBs mounted in the carrier with out any issue on my Tahoe and were held firmly at interstate highways speeds. The XTC-2 held both bikes tightly with very little movement. The foldover feature allows access to the SUV storage area when the rack is empty. You will need to carry a 19 mm wrench to remove the threaded bolt that hold the carrier to the hitch. The carrier did exactly what is was supposed to do at a reasonable price. What more to say.

I went into my local bike shop looking for a rack to carry my bike behind my GMC Yukon. True story: I told the sales clerk what I was looking for and he showed me the two brands they carried. I told him that I had seen a Swagman XTC on a Tahoe and that I was also considering that. He said, "Get yourself the XTC, it is cheaper and better than anything we carry. You won't be disappointed." I ordered it on line the next day and he was right, I am not disappointed at all--it is simple to install and easy to lock down the bike. Highly recommend.

Very easy to install and holds my 29er very securely.

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.

Goes together quickly, appears that it will fit my needs in terms of being cross-compatible on a variety of vehicles. Fit on a Subaru Outback factory crossbar and transported bike locally with no issues when I got it out to set up and test (not quite warm enough to ride much yet where I live). Instructions are not super, but the assembly is pretty straightforward so that is not a problem. At the price point, if this rack indeed holds up to swapping onto multiple vehicles and lasts me a few years, I'll be thrilled with the purchase.

I purchased two of these racks, along with another rack that is meant to hold bikes with both tires still installed. I am extremely happy with all three of them. This rack specifically is very sturdy. Installation was sort of a pain, but that was mostly due to me installing it on the top of my 2004 GMC Yukon XL...it is so high that it was a little hard to install. But now that it's installed, it's actually very simple to take the bikes on and off. I've made one round trip with these racks, so I've put the bikes up there and removed them twice. Both trips (about 100 miles each way) they bikes were super sturdy and I had no concerns about them falling off or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this rack if you're looking for a fork down roof mounted bike carrier. In fact, I will very likely get another one when we add another bike to the family. I think I'll be able to fit four racks on the top of my Yukon easily. One last note - I was initially concerned about the height of my vehicle when bikes were on top of them. I brushed a couple of tree limbs when pulling into my camping spot, but it was no big deal. I think the total height of my load was about 10 feet, which was lower than the camper that I was pulling.

I truly appreciate the follow up. To make it plain and simple, my family is incredibly excited to own this product. Your team did an incredible job walking through the right product as I could not find a custom hitch for my BMW X6 cross over SUV and you guys nailed it! From the hitch, to the bumper I had to get replaced, it works like a charm! I have been and will continue to recommend your company and staff! Top notch professionals if you ask me!

I love the bike rack itself, I only have 1 problem the first lock that fastens down with the key does not work. It’s really hard to grab and spin, my father worked on it for quite some time and was frustrated. I was wondering can you send me a regular twist down handle like the other 3? I don’t need the key lock, or send me a new one with the key lock since this one is defective? Other than that its great, we just got it on my vehicle last night but I cannot use the very first bike clamp. My sister in law is asking how I like it because she wants to get one too, no worries I will tell her its awesome, I understands there are flaws and I know you will hook me up with a new clamp. I will post a great review once I get my new clamp.
