"Nice product" 2009-09-04

Used product on a Toyota Sienna minivan. Needed to add air shocks to the van that fit inside the rear springs to prevent dragging the end of unit on pavement on steeper driveways when pulling a pop-up camper. Worked great.
"Not made for heavy bikes and bumpy roads" 2009-08-02
By J. Dion Bates
I've had my Swagman for several years now, and it had worked well. I loaded it w/ 4 bikes behind my camper (behind, not in front - didn't like doing it that way). The weight and the bounce was too much, and the frame cracked at the base. I had that welded, and thought I was good. Then, the tubular shaft bent at the base (just above where it has the 2 holes for the pins.) Unhappy camper. It worked well for me for years with a couple of bikes, but when I loaded it w/ four bikes (130 pounds) and added the bumps of a 3000-mile trip, it was too much.
"Great, versatile bike rack" 2009-07-20
By E. clifford (Southern, CA USA)
This bike rack worked great driving hundreds of miles to the Mountains. It held the bikes firmly. We had the SUV packed so tight I could not see out the back window. But after stopping several times, to double-check things, it was quite evident the bikes were safely and firmly in place. Also like the ability to be able to tow a small trailer or camper behind this. It does have limitations on what you can tow from this, which would be lower than what you could tow directly from your vehicle. Another option might be, depending on your local laws and what else you tow, could be to put this bike rack on the back of what you tow. Based on the solid performance and versatility, this gets the highest rating. However, there are a few things to consider. For security, in other words to prevent your bikes from being stolen, there are a few things to be aware of. You will need a locking hitch pin, where this goes into your vehicle hitch. You will also need a padlock to lock the plates together, since without this, someone could just unscrew the top plate and take all your bikes. Also, it should be noted that the bent bar which holds the bikes up where it meets the bar coming out of the vehicle hitch simply bolts in place. Therefore, someone could theoretically just undo two bolts and take off with all your bikes. You would be left with the steel bar coming out of your hitch. The thief would then have your bikes and the bent bar, though padlocked, they could take this somewhere and cut/drill your padlock. If you are simply stopping to get a bite to eat and park in a visible place, this becomes a less likely scenario, however, if you are say stopping and staying at a hotel overnight, this is something to think about. You might be able to replace a bolt with another locking hitch pin, but I'm not sure if this would effect the tightness and/or stability of this holding your bikes. If you're driving straight through and making just minor pit stops eating, fueling up, etc., this bike rack works great. Haven't tried towing something from it, but don't see any reason it would not work for towing smaller trailers/campers. Great, solid bike rack, with lots of versatility. As far as price and quality/versatility go, this is hard to beat. I would recommend to anyone. I verify all the positives of the other reviews such as holding different types of bikes, etc.
"Versatile towing rack" 2007-08-06
By tallcoldone (Michigan)
I've had this rack for since 2002 - has worked well for carrying bikes whether towing my +2000-lbs popup camper or not. I've recommended it to friends, and would buy it again.
Don't use the swing-down feature often, as it's pretty heavy if bikes are loaded. The v-cradles for the bikes don't work as well for the oval tubes on some bikes - especially for really "tall" top tubes. I bought a "cheater" tube for adapting troublesome bikes (ladies frame, etc.) to fit the rack.
The three screws to fasten the top plate are a little tedious, but I can clamp it as tight as I want, can accomodate top tubes of varous diameters (the top plate flexes), and I have never seen them loosen even after several hours of highway driving.
Re: earlier comments on chains: I tow with a minivan (towing package including load-leveling). I had to get safety chain extensions so I could tow my popup camper. To kee the chains off the road, I use a bungee cord from the crossing point to the trailer tongue.
"Works great." 2007-07-30

Options are limited when looking for a 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack that will also allow for towing. With trailer chain/electrical extensions, this model works well for towing small trailers or a boat.
A bike shop told me the manufacturer claims 300 lbs. tongue weight and 3000 lbs. towing capacity. Haven't attempted that much, probably won't ever need to. (Ended up purchasing through Amazon because it was $60 cheaper!)
Very solid and sturdy. Just returned from 3000 mile trip. No problems. I did add a couple of ratchet tie downs just for my own sake to help with slight sway, but they really aren't necessary.
Note of caution. Design of rack does not work for oval bike frames.
