Best Bike Rack for Heavy Fat Tire Ebikes on Truck and Travel Trailer
Question:
Hello, I have two fat tire ebikes that weigh 65lb. each. We have a 1500 Dodge Ram and a travel trailer that need to have a rack to fit either. Which bike rack would be best for us? We would prefer for it to swing out or down. Thank you!

Sounds like you need a bike rack that can fit heavy bikes, fat bikes, is compatible with travel trailers, and can swing away. That's asking a lot of a bike rack, but thankfully, bike rack technology has improved in the past couple years that you actually have some choices.
The best rack that I can recommend for you is the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR with the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679. While most electric bike racks can carry up to 60 lbs per bike, which is not enough for yours, this one has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike. It is also rated for use on a travel trailer which is actually pretty rare among bike racks right now. It does not tilt down or swing out though, but you can fold down the center mast with the bikes unloaded if you want to lower your tail gate.
I attached my video review below of this bike rack on a motorhome where I explain how to use the extra hardware included for when you use it on your travel trailer.
