This rack is compatible with your Class I hitch and because it uses ratcheting arms to grip your bikes' front wheels, there's absolutely no frame contact.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2008 Saab 9-7x
  • The CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Towing Mirror part # 11650 is a universal-fit item that will fit many different vehicles, including your 2008 Saab 9-7x. Although the Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # 7070 is more pleasing to the eye, it can vibrate or droop when used on certain vehicles. Because the # 11650 attaches to the top and bottom of the door, it will be more stable and secure, which is why I would recommend it over the other universal mirror options we offer. Both the Door Mount...

  • We have many 2-bike trunk mount carriers that will fit your man's 2004 Saab 9-3 convertible.

If you want something that is really going to blow him away I recommend the OutWay # TH45JV. This is by far the best trunk mount bike carrier I have used.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2003 Saab 9-3 for Carrying Thule T2 XT
  • We actually only have a hitch for the 2003 Saab 9-3 between the two vehicles you mentioned with the part # C11326. Hopefully your version of the Thule T2 Pro is the one for the 1-1/4 inch size like part # TH23JV since there isn't a 2 inch hitch that fits your vehicle.

  • Is the Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack Rust Proof and as Stable as Platform Bike Racks
  • The Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, features built-in anti-rattle and anti-sway cradles with road dampening technology so once properly installed and loaded it will be on par in terms of stability with platform style racks. Since the bike rack is made of aluminum and automotive grade plastics corrosion will not be nearly as much of an issue as it is with steel racks. Some of the internal components may be susceptible though. I recommend hosing off the rack with fresh water before storing...

  • Platform Bike Rack for Class I Hitch Recommendation Similar to Swagman Semi 2.0
  • I have a similar bike rack to the Swagman Semi 2.0 part # S64686 that you referenced that is Class I compatible but you are correct this only fits Class II and up hitches. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH23JV is what the Semi was designed after and is Class I compatible and by many is considered a gold standard for bike racks. It's also priced nearly identical. This would be the best choice for sure. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

  • Can 2001 Saab 9-3 be Flat Towed
  • Based on my research, the 2001 Saab is not designed to be flat towed behind an RV or motorhome. Doing this may cause damage to the vehicle. The only recommended way to tow your 2001 Saab 9-3 is with a Tow Dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for 2007 Saab 9-3 Sedan
  • According to our friends at Curt, for the 2007 Saab 9-3 4dr Sedan, you would use the Class I Receiver Hitch part # 11326. The # C11140 hitch will only fit the SportCombi (wagon) models. If you will be occasionally transporting your bikes for short distances, the Rhode Gear # RG8015220 rack would be a fine choice. However, the lack of anti-sway cradles and the rather insubstantial hook and loop fasteners that hold the bikes into the cradles would make this rack unsuitable for frequent use...
