Review of the Swagman Hitch Bike Racks on a 2016 Ford Expedition

Today on our 2016 Ford Expedition we're doing the test fit of the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack platform style, part number S64650. We have our bike on on our and we have our rack hooked to our vehicle. I'd like to just show you a few features of it. How the bike is connected to the bike rack itself, we just have our frame hook here. To disengage it you press the button, pull up and to engage it you just pull ring down till you can't bring it any more. Now always hold onto your bike, go ahead and take this up and we'll take off our bike, set it off to the side. Alrighty now we're gonna take a few measurements just to show you the overall distance we added to our vehicle.

Overall I'm looking at 22 inches, for our ground clearance I'm actually looking at 22 inches here. The closest point we're looking at 13 inches right here. Now the mast does come down so when you need to get inside your hatch we pull this pin here. It can go down to either side, replace the pin now you'll be able to get in back of your hatch. You have plenty of room to put anything in or take anything out. Now we have another stow position so we're gonna bring this back up, we're gonna pull the pin here bring it up and replace the pin here.

Now right I just want to let you know that the wheel cradles actually adjust along the frame so if you need to move them you just unloosen, slide wherever you need to go and just tighten them back down. We're gonna go ahead and pull this pin here, and that will be our last position a storage spot. Now we're using a 2 inch hitch today, this also could be moved down to an inch and a quarter. It also has an anti-rattle bolt and clip so it's gonna keep that movement out of sync as you're riding down that road. That's gonna complete our look at the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack platform style, part number s64650 on today's 2016 Ford Expedition..
