3.0 out of 5 starsNot for me
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 7, 2022
I liked the price and reviews seemed good. Upon inspection and assembled I had to pass. Biggest issue is that there is only one option to mount to trailer mount(without drilling into unit) and that is about 2" from end, which would give about 2" of support coming out of the vehicle...Also I thought the mounting rod was solid metal, but it's not...ther is just a 1" piece of steel(for the bolt to go through) in a hollow tub. I don't see that ending well? I think this may be a fair option for childrens bikes, but I'm not going to trust $6000 worth of bike on it. Packed it up and returned it with out using it, not worth the risk. Thank you Amazon for the great return policy.

Update: Have decided to give it a try, keep ya posted July 9 2022

Solid and works great. I recommend if you don’t have to travel too far with it. Only issue is when you screw the hitch pin in and tighten, it is near impossible to get the small pin on the other side. That could be just the way my trucks hitch is set up. For short rides I do recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price for its usability.
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 25, 2021

I ordered this bike rack with a threaded hitch pin of the same brand because it is lockable and it works perfectly fine. I test drove in the highway, I drove 60 kmph, 80 kmph up to 110 kmph and it felt like I dont carry any bike at all. No shaking or rattling and well secured. Both the hitch pin and bike rack were delivered 2 days early than a target date. Assembly is very easy, I did not even read the instruction, I just followed the illustration. I did install 1 bike hook and a set of wheel slot because I have only 1 bike for my kid. It is good that I can open my truck bed without folding down the bike rack ( as shown in the picture, I have to unload the bike though which is not a big deal ). Please note that my truck is a mid size truck so for a full size truck you might have to fold down the bike rack to have access to your bed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid construction & great value but poor assembly instructions
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
Installing the rack out of the box was fairly simple. However, there were no proper instructions apart from a few diagrams on a paper. As such, I was left with the question of where certain types of washers were supposed to go. And I'm not sure if a washer was needed where I connect the screw to the holder which keeps the wheel tray in place, because it was a little finicky. Also, if Swagman can help me out here, where do the two little screws and various different sized washers go? I used my judgement on this. It wasn't listed on the instruction manual.

On the plus side, after I inserted this into my 2 inch receiver, and tightened down the nut using a regular wrench, which by the way I purchased Swagman's locking hitch pin at an extra cost as a theft deterrent, there was absolutely no wobble. Shake the rack and the entire van body moves which is good. Solid construction. I drove my van with the hitch rack folded up to and from work today and I didn't even realize it was there. No wobble at all, and the hitch rack stayed firmly in place.

*6 month update* Rack is solidly built! Love it! I leave it on the back of the minivan and it has seen snow, rain and searing heat so far. Still holding up well! I just used a little bit of silicone lube on some key areas to ensure it doesn't rust since it is steel after all! Would recommend this product!

No bike rack is perfect. Only advice is don't be like me...make sure you close your tailgate on your SUV before mounting the bike rack, or buy one that folds out of the way!

4.0 out of 5 stars There are no locks on the hooks
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
I wish I had noticed the importance of locking hooks. It seems the easiest way to insure the bikes are secure on the rack and that the hooks and bikes cannot easily be stolen. I was disappointed that Swagman does not make locking hooks that fit this model. Otherwise I would have bought another set of hooks. I use a cable to lock the bike to the car and to the rack. I put the hooks in the car when cycling.

Also, Swagman should label the parts in the diagram to match the instructions.

The rack wobbles on the hitch. The hook is challenging to release. I cannot do it with my hand alone. I have to push with a hammer. So far, I have found that the hooks DO hold the bikes securely in transit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful installing universal foot set screws
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
I bought this bike rack because it is a platform type , that carries bikes in an upright position. The bike rack delivers as expected and I am pleased with the stability it provides. Swagman has designed a product that is affordable and made to high standards.

There is only one issue that I have, and I have seen it mentioned here by others. There are two set screws that secure the universal foot to the main part of the rack. The receiving threads can easily become stripped, because the set screws do not turn without considerable effort. One of the thread, in fact, stripped during my installation. I would advise removing the receiver block with a screwdriver and pre-threading the set screws. Alternatively, if you do strip a thread remove the block and turn it 180 degrees in the foot and use the good end.
