Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The Swagman XTC bike rack is quality. I had the rack assembled and placed on my 2017 Ford Escape in less than an hour. Assembly instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. Placing two bikes on the rack requires some adjustments. My Trek Silque road bike and Specialized Rockhopper fit well. Once the adjustments are made you won't have to make them again unless you're racking different bikes. Sturdiness is great. Front to back sway is nonexsistent while side to side sway is minimal. I've driven my bikes around quite a bit with no problems. Locking the rack to the hitch is an ongoing process. Right now Im using a small padlock where the hitch pin goes, but will probably go with the locking hitch that is available for the rack. Love this rack. One important issue. I was considering a hanging rack, but these racks don't always work well with women's frames since the frame needs to straight across to work best. This platform rack has worked best for me.
Just purchased the XTC for my new 2012 Ford Escape. Easy installation, minimal assembly. The assembly is a very sturdy platform for transporting bicycles. Excellent bike rack for the price! Had to go purchase an additional 1/2 inch lock washer which allows easier access to bolt head when mounting to the 1-1/4 hitch.

delivered on time and in good shape. Thought several pieces were missing, but talked to manufacturer and was told how pieces were packed and I had over looked them.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
The bike rack arrived in a timely manner and was easy to assemble and install. I am delighted with it!
Once again Kirstin was Awesome!!! She remembered who i was and was very friendly again. My wife and I have ordered multiple items from e-trailers, for our auto and motor coach, and the service is fabulous. The last order of the dual receiver and bike rack were placed on the road while driving and Kirstin was Spot on with her recommendation and product knowledge. Yes you may be able to find things cheaper out on the internet, but we highly recommend the service and knowledge of e-trailers. Will use e-trailers again and again as we travel.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Then rack seems sturdy, but I was shorted on lock nuts for the bolts so I'll have to go pick some up. But the fast shipped it to me without any extra charge.
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.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
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…
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.
What our customers are saying:
"Just to let you know I was very satisfied with my orders for a hitch, wiring harness, bike rack and extension. I have a 1995 Dodge Ram van and some of the parts are hard to get elsewhere. I received all my orders proptly and will recommend you to others. The pricing can't be beat. Thank you. Sincerely, Frank"
