Comparing the Swagman Titan and the Thule Hitching Post Pro
Updated 03/03/2021 | Published 02/26/2021
Question:
Im looking at two bike racks for my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Swagman Titan 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - Tilting - S63410 and Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - TH934XTR. Could you offer any info on features that make the Thule model worth the extra money? Thanks.

When comparing the Swagman Titan, part # S63410, and the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR, there are two main factors that put the Thule above the Swagman.
The first is the material used. Thule is known for the exceptionally-well crafted racks, and the Hitching Post Pro is made of high--strength aluminum and steel. The Swagman is solidly built, but the Thule is just a little better in this arena.
The second is how they handle on the road. I've linked to videos of both of these on our test course. You can see in each how they perform under different conditions. It's clear to see that while the Swagman does what it's built to do, the Thule handles noticeably better.
The Titan is a great bike rack, but the Hitching Post Pro is a little better.
