Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
Hi George, I sincerely appreciate your follow up on this order. I know its your job however I keep buying from etrailer because of their customer service and order processing. This order however is disappointing and I wanted to share this with you and not post on the website as I think etrailer could do better. I am attaching some pictures to explain. The box was really trashed and was obvious that it had been previously sent and returned. Very weathered and water stained, old cardboard held loosely together with tape, open in lots of spots. I can get past a bad box so I checked out the bike rack inside. The bubble wrap was there but not attached, the clamp components were sort of loose, scratched and beat up. Looks like the previous purchaser assembled and didn't like it, or possibly used it and returned. Either way, it wasn't what I expected. I purchased this so we could use on a trip over Thanksgiving (shipped 2nd day for a premium). It arrived just in time for me to put on the truck and go. This trip came up at the last minute and now I don't have time to get another rack. I would normally likely send it back and ask for one that wasn't in this condition but under the circumstances, I need to use it. Thanks again for the excellent customer service, happy Thanksgiving! (Note, I am now posting as there was no acknowledgement from Customer Service. Probably won't be buying from etrailer.com again)
I was initially a little skeptical about this carrier, but it appeared to be what I wanted and I could always send it back, so I placed the order. It arrived very quickly. It works quite well in a 2003 Tundra. It was as advertised, installed quickly and easily, and holds two bikes securely. I am completely satisfied with this carrier and would recommend it without reservation.

Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 61" Wide
Ordering was simple with delivery on time. The product is just what I was looking for since I can not use my standard hitch bike carrier when I am pulling my camp trailer. Easy to install with one person, easier with two and it fits very nicely. We are looking forward to using it on our next road trip.
The seams could be placed differently, so that it sits better on the tailgate.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is the best bike rack . I never own a bike rack before this one. So I can't really compare it to another one. My ?? rides great ,very solid and well made. I'm very happy can't wait to take a trip! I would recommend buying this product and buying from etrailer. Customer service people are excellent. I need some other items so I will be back for them.
Awesome bike rack. Worked on my 2018 Tundra perfect. Bikes are stabilized and secure. Like the way you can fold the bike rack to get access to the truck bed without removing it.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
This is a very strong and secure Bike Rack. But the modeled rubber saddles are too big and the kid's smaller frame bikes will not fill over them. I ended up cutting off the lower attaching posts on each of the 8 saddles to get the bike frames over the saddles. Smaller saddles would make it easier to load and unload the bikes.
Superb. Since we got it, our family has been on several biking trips. It's easy to install/uninstall. It accommodates for bikes with relative ease, but three go on easier than four. Yet we do have to fat tire bikes and two mountain bikes which take up space.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great Rack with one problem This is a great rack for the money. easy to assemble, easy to install, easy to load. very secure and bikes ride great. One problem and it's not really swagman's fault. Some new trucks including mine have a 2 1/2" receiver. I thought I would just buy a longer bolt. No hardware store had a longer bolt with this thread. Swagman makes a very nice threaded bolt and lock that will fit the 2 1/2". I highly recommend you buy one when you buy this rack if you have the larger receiver.
Product delivered within 3 days. No problems. Great product.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
Everything arrived as expected. Works great! Good quality.
The Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On, is just what I was looking for to be able to build a bike rack for carrying one of my bikes on my motorcycle. It was easy to mount and it holds my bike in place while riding on bumpy dirt roads, city streets, highways and even when I hit some twisty country roads. It's really easy to load and unload my bike when I get to where I want to ride. I use a velcro strap around the quick-release and the fork arm as an added safety as well as a couple tie-downs from my bike handlebars to my motorcycle passenger pegs to help distribute the weight on my rack. If you want to build your own DIY bike rack I totally recommend the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On.

Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Clamp On
They hold my bike upright with no wobble. It sure beats laying my new bike down in the back of my truck bed.
High build quality but the the straps are too short for a mountain bike. This Prevents where you can attach it to the bike. This product would be 5 stars if the strap were an inch longer.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
An awesome experience with this company. Product looks very rugged. Only negative thing I can say about this product. The instructions were a little hard to understand. Hope I get many years out of this...
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

Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - C-Channel Mount
Used them several times over the past year to secure our two mountain bikes. They hold the bikes firmly and upright, freeing up lots of space for storage. When they were installed, I made small notches in the plastic trim on the pickup bed on each side of the brackets. When I need them, I simply line up the brackets with the markings and attach them to the bikes. Quick and perfect fit each time. They are a unique product and generate a lot of interest.
Easy to install and use. Once setup easily removed and reinstalled with little adjustment.

Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray
Excellent rack, a year later still in great condition. No movement at hitch when driving like other racks. Love the extra bar to work on bike in parking lot. Cracked a part on the rack when backing up accidentally hit it, I called the company and they immediately sent out new part no questions asked and rack is like new. Easy to access the drop and raise bar even with bikes on .A note that with larger mountain bikes only three really fit on the four rack without adjusting handle bars. Thanks to etrailer for stocking a great product and providing excellent post purchase service
My Kuat NV 2. Bike Rack is the best bike rack I have ever owned. It is excellent for electric bikes. Very easy to load bikes and holds bikes very securely.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
The quality of the rack is fantastic. Sadly the keys do not work on the Locking Quick Release Skewers. I've contacted Swagman about this and am waiting for a response.
Quite pleased with nearly everything regarding this rack. Setup was super easy right out of the box, loved that I didn't need any tools. Bikes feel very secure and I haven't noticed any shifting or movement while driving around. My only complaint is that it's possible for someone to remove (or steal) the locking skewers when there's no bike attached just by unscrewing the endcap. Even if the handle is locked in place, just unscrew the endcap and you can remove the whole locking mechanism. So...works fantastic when there's a bike to be hauled, but makes me uncomfortable when I just park the truck and walk away. Works great, could just be a bit more secure.

Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack - Bolt-on - 9-mm Skewer
works perfect... and got shipping was f ast
Have used the block head bike mounts by Yakima on trips of 800 to 1500 miles with no incident. Easy to mount the bikes and they have not released even on bumpy roads. Great product for my truck box and bikes are always in view. Easiest way I have found to transport our bikes

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Very easy to install !! and love that it folds down far enough to allow me to completely lower the tail gate on the pick-up ! Great site for shopping (great installation videos) ! Love that they offer lots of replacement parts .....
Check out my other review on the hidden hitch for a 2015 BMW 4 Series for the majority of the review, but this thing is great. Easy setup and install, does all the things it's supposed to do. Mounting and removing bikes is a snap with the included clips (big difference from some of the cheaper variants with nylon ratchet straps). Fits very snugly in my 2" receiver, and pretty solid on the highway and over bumpy roads.

Curt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
It was obvious that we received a product that was returned by someone else when the box was overly taped shut, a support collar was broken, and most of the pieces were out of their ripped plastic bags. However, it was a great price to hold 5, 26" and/or 27" Trek bikes. I used a piece of the broken collar and went ahead and assembled the rack. Due to the weight of the 5 bikes it did not wobble that much when driving, as one of the bike tires was up against my car. I can only imagine that if we received an untampered product that this review would have been 5 stars. The picture is a little hard to see, but there are 5 Trek bikes on the rack on my 2020 Toyota Seinna.
This bike rack is for 5 bikes, but have not been able to get 5 bikes on it so far. Most can get on is 4 bikes. from all the reviews of this rack and other brands, it was the longest and also had the highest weight capacity. I think if you have like 2 adult bikes and 3 kids bikes, then 5 is possible. We have bikes, 2 cruisers, and 3 regular all more than 24in size. So we use to carry 4 bikes on it, and need to put 1 in the trunk, in van. For the rack it self, it is straight forward to assemble and hook up to van hitch. Also got a Curt 2in hitch installed on van from uhaul. The little pin to tighten the vertical portion of the bike rack lost its threading after like 4 - 5 uses and so it is not useful. They need to redesign so that is it firm and there is no play in it. I called etrailer and they said nothing they can do from their side. I will try local hardware for another screw to see if that will help. The overall order and service from etrailer, was good, i placed order on a Saturday and they also matched another online price and i received my order on Wednesday the following week. To fold down need to unpin, as compared to some other brands that have a 1 pull handle to perform same operation.

Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On - 15 mm Thru-Axle Skewer
Cheap alternative compared to having to buy a 9mm thru axle mount for the utili-track in my Nissan Frontier AND THEN having to buy an adapter for that! For under $10 I bought some parts from a local hardware store and made this mount fit the track. It's sturdy, and high quality.
My Kuat DirtBag Bike Rack Application Nice product
Is the Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Compatible with the 2015 Toyota Tundra?
Today on our 2015 Toyota Tundra Quad Cab, we will be testing the Swagman pickup truck bed mounted bike rack. That's part number S64702. What we'll do is we go ahead and begin by lowering our tailgate and getting in the back of our truck. If you notice these two foot pads here. We've got one here and then one on the other side. We want to go ahead and put those into place.
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"
