Question:

I am looking for a 2 bike rack for my 2004 Expedition that has a 2.5 receiver. I rather have a hitch rack but need a converter. What hitch rack and converter do you recommend? If no hitch one what trunk mount would be good? Thanks

Expert Reply:

I verified with Swagman that the XTC-2 # S64670 will work with a 2-1/2 to 2 inch hitch reducer except for the hitch pin. In order to accommodate the 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver you will need the Locking, Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin # S64029 or the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64031.

For a hitch reducer you can use # C45405.
