Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
The Swagman Trailhead has dual folding arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. They slope up to provide ground clearance for steep driveways and bumpy roads.
To fold the arms down, remove the pull pin at the top of the mast. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And when stored in this configuration, it doesn't take up as much space in your garage.
Anti-sway cradles with rubber straps hold your bikes firmly in place. Each set of cradles has three straps that secure your bike along the top tube and one that secures the seat post or downtube. This multi-point contact helps keep your bikes from rocking back and forth, reducing bike-to-bike contact. The soft rubber cradles rotate around the rack's arms to accommodate bikes of different styles and shapes.
Easy Tilting for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to remove the whole rack to access your cargo area for grocery runs and other errands.
To tilt the rack down, pull out the pin at the base of the rack and lower the mast. When you're ready to go, lift the mast up and re-insert the pin.
Threaded Hitch Pin and Hitch Adapter
A threaded hitch pin is included to help eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. To tighten the pin in your hitch, use a 5/8" wrench (not included). A clip is also included to keep the pin in place.
You can install the rack in a 1-1/4" hitch or in a 2" hitch. To use it in a 1-1/4" hitch, simply remove the adapter with the included Allen key.
Available Security and Adapter Bar
An anti-rattle hitch lock and cable lock (sold separately) are available to secure the rack to your vehicle and your bikes to the rack.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.

Draw-tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4
Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack - Tilting
The Draw-tite Sportframe class 1 trailer hitch and Swagman Trailhead 3 bike rack were ordered for a 2017 Honda Fit. The online order and shipping went just as expected. The trailer hitch and bike rack are very heavy duty. I recommend watching the trailer hitch install video before installing, whereas the video is very helpful.
The bike rack has triangles that you can rotate to find the best fit for your bicycle's frame. The rubber straps are thick and secure the bicycles when you pull them tight. This bike rack will stay on the vehicle for 6 months each year. The tilt feature and folding arm feature are must haves for a smaller hatchback.
I am pleased with this purchase, it appears to be good quality and good value.

My previous bike rack was a hitch mounted Yakima. It was sturdy but not well suited for my low Subaru Impreza. It stuck out too far and hung too low so that I had to inch my way down the driveway or over speed bumps for fear of it bottoming out. A roof rack or a rear window mounted rack was not suitable since I wanted to be able to also carry two kayaks. First, I tried to modify my rack by shortening the part that sticks out of the hitch. I tried to saw off about 6 inches so it wouldn't stick out so far but the steel was much too hard. I ended up ruining several metal-cutting blades on my power saw before I gave up. I looked for other rack options. There weren't many out there. But eventually, I found something that met my needs. I purchased the "Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Fold Down Bicycle Hitch Rack" in 2013 from eTrailer.com. The part that enters the hitch curves up to increase clearance from the ground. It is sturdy and sticks out far enough so I can still open my trunk hatch without having to lower the main vertical bar on the hitch (though I could if I wanted to). It isn't often I am really excited about a piece of gear but this hitch rack has made me worry-free when I transport my bicycle(s) via car. The only thing I don't like is that it is advertised as being a 3 bike carrier but it only fits 2 hybrid bikes. Maybe it will fit 3 skinny racing bikes but for the average rider, don't expect to fit on more than 2. But my experience is that is the case for all bicycle racks.
by: Doris 12/14/2023
Just as advertised. Sturdy and solid. Folds at both the top and bottom sections for easy storage. The tie downs are well positioned and minimize bike movement. Can't wait to get on the road with it.
by: Jerry S.12/10/2018
Nice heavy duty rack. Putting it together is quite simple if you read the instructions. I like the ability to use both a 2" or 1 1/4" receiver. etrailer is very easy to deal with.

Love my Swagmann rack. I will be calling etrailer for an accessory shortly. Good people to do business with.
by: SteveH02/28/2018
So far my Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack has been great..the tie down straps are nice and thick and hold the bikes down
very nicely. Nice to not have any swaying and rocking like my old rack.
The only issue I have is that it is to tall. I am 6'1 and really have to lift the bikes up to get them on the carrier.
by: Dawn07/06/2020
Overall I am pleased with my bike rack--
What i didnt know was if your car or truck does not have a hitch on it, you need to have one installed ( this costs extra!)
My rack arrived on the date given ( took 3 days). My rack went on EASILY. It does wobble a bit ,and i was told THIS IS NORMAL-- so I have left it alone, I have hauled my bike on it and run over a few potholes to ensure the rack and bike stayed-- BOTH STAYED!
So far I am pleased with mine.
Oh I forgot to include-- I drive a Chevy spark ( tiny car)

Great Bike Rack (Swagman 3 Bike Rack) + we added extra security with purchasing the Deadbolt 10' Long Cable Lock and the Anti Locking Rattle, would recommend to friends and family. We use it with the family or when I am going for my work out ride.
by: AndiV04/11/2018
Super fast ship! Items exactly as described. Just had hitch installed. On the bike rack easy to put together and load the bikes. I really like the strapping choices.

My wife and I love this bike rack. We had another bike rack that caused us a lot of problems. But when I found this company’s website I called and spoke to a real person that new everything I needed to know and what I needed to carry my bikes with us on our trips. It was very easy to set up and you can rest assured to know your bikes are safe. If you need a bike rack call them they know what you need.

Swagman Trailehead bike (x3) hitch rack on a 1987 Disge Ramcharger.
Received quickly. Assembled quickly (about 5-10 minutes--even while I ate spaghetti). Attached to vehicle quickly. Seems durable (only time will surely tell) and stable on vehicle.

I bought a bike rack and this hitch receiver yesterday and installed them both. The hitch is definitely going to be easier to install with 2 people, as lifting it into place is awkward with this hefty thing. The install will also definitely be easier with a raised vehicle. Of course, I did this without raising the car, and I did it all on my own haha. Obviously, this took me longer as a result. I've very little experience working on cars, so I made a conscious effort not to be daunted by lowering the exhaust- I had never even lowered/removed the spare tire before this. Huge props to etrailer for the install video. It helped SO MUCH. The product's printed instructions for this install were so terrible I would have removed a star, but the vids answered all the questions I had.
If you're concerned about tools: I removed the rubber hangers for the exhaust with my hands for the most part, though the one closest the rear of the vehicle, I employed a screwdriver then wrench to pry it off. I'm convinced I could have done this with my fingers as well. The WD-40 was a nice tip. I think it helped slip those off easier.
I ended up having to jack up the car to re-hang the exhaust, as the newly installed tow rig reduced wiggle room under the car, but this wasn't a big deal. I'm going over all this stuff for those of you looking to do your own installation.
To sum up: Love the hitch. Looks great, and is definitely sturdy. 5 stars for sure, because the cons are vastly outshone by the pros.

After some good research on different types of bike hitches I picked the Swagman Trailer 3 Bike Rack. It arrived ready to use (THANK YOU!) and this really was just the start of using this great hitch.Taking 3 mens bikes is really easy and it works as promised. The fact that I can lower it to open my trunk is awesome. Good product. Strong and sturdy.
by: Brad06/06/2019
It installed nicely. The only issue I had was the push pins kept breaking off since they were brittle. Nothing to do with the hitch. Fit perfectly and the bike holder I got is really nice. Looks of high quality. I've hooked it all up but haven't had time to use it. Hope to take the bikes to the trails this weekend since I sold my truck. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It was better than I expected for the price.

No issues at all. Ive used it to haul a couple of bikes many times to the bike trails. Works great!
by: Jim K06/21/2020
I used it to transport two bikes from Tn. to Fla. and three on the way back as my wife purchased an ebike while we were down there. The rack is easy to use and works well. I never worried about the bikes while doing 70 on the Hwy. Would recommend this rack Doing business with etrailer was easy and they stand by what they sell. Around 5 stars.

Year later and the rack is doing its job. Have made several long trip and no complaints. Good buy.
by: Christian06/15/2020
Everything has been great so far. One issue I am having is with the hitch bolt and pin. I have a 2020 Subaru Outback and a hitch installed by the dealer. The bolt screws in just fine, but is about 1/4 inch short to allow the hitch pin to be inserted into the bolt. While not a major concern, it does up the anxiety that the bolt may become loose with extended driving. I am currently looking for a solution.

I do not recommended carrying the bike rack without pinning it in to avoid it coming out of the hitch. It sounds like your hitch may have thicker receiver side walls compared to other hitches. Can you measure the outside measurement of the receiver? You should be able to use Swagman Locking Anti-Rattle part S64029 which has 4-38 usable span.
by: AdamD04/25/2021
Bike rack is perfect! I have a 1-1/4 hitch on a compact car and it fits perfectly. Installation is easy and the rack itself is great. Great quality straps that hold well. Highly recommend

I just received my Swagman Trailhead 3 bike carrier. It was very easy to unbox and install it for the first time on my hitch. The instructions were clear. I did a test run with one bicycle and I had no problems.

After we sold our SUV our Thule bike rack with a 2 x 2 tongue was no good for the receiver on our new Subaru Outback. I was able to sell the used Thule for the same price of the new Swagman bike rack. The Swagman works just as well as the Thule so I am very happy with the purchase. Thanks for asking.
by: Heath F02/26/2015
This bike rack comes basically fully assembled. All I had to do was flip around the tongue and take off the 2 inch adapter. Slides right in and attaches firmly. There is plenty of clearance between the rack and the trunk to allow for opening.

Works great every time I use it. Sturdy and holds my bike tightly.
by: Krista 06/22/2020
The bike rack is heavy duty, easy to install, and the straps are very secure! Great bike rack! We purchased this for our son for graduation from high school so he could take a couple of friends biking with him. The price was reasonable for the quality.

It has been great! It is stable, not wobbly, easy to take off and put on. Fast delivery…all around food experience!
by: John m09/05/2016
I am happy I purchased the Swagmann 3 bike hitch bike rack last year. It's everything I hoped it would be. The straps are beefy and easy to lock the bike into. Thhe rack doesn't shake much after it is in the hitch. I can take the bike rack out and put it into the hitch very quickly. I went on a trip recently and had two mountain bikes on it and it was no problem. My only complaint is it is hard to put the pin through the rack when I want to lower or raise the horizontal bar that carries the bikes. The rack isnt too close or too far from the car. I have a Toyota Rav4. Otherwise, very good purchase. Would recommend.
by: Lowell06/28/2020
The Swagman bike rack is a little less expensive than the "name" brands, but appears to serve just as well. This is our first rack that fits a hitch receiver and we are delighted to have a more substantial rack that provides a little more confidence than a rack hanging on the back door with web straps when on long trips and traveling an interstate speeds. A bonus is that you can pull a pin and swing the rack back/down and open the back door of a small SUV to access luggage. Only improvement I can suggest is to add spacers between the holders for bikes to keep them in place. I keep them from moving around by using bungee cords from the seat stem on a bike to the front of the rack.
by: Wendy10/28/2018
This bike rack has been reliable. It is fairly easy to install and remove from my hitch. It is light weight but solidly holds the bikes. One difficulty I have is when I want to drop or raise the arm, the pin is difficult to go in and out. I have wished this was easier many a time. I also bought an adapter bar for the female bike which has worked well. This has been a good bike rack for its value and I recommend it.
by: Virginia08/02/2019
Overall, I like this rack. It's solid and sturdy, with convenient points to thread a bike lock through and a delightful tilt feature. I added reflective tape to make it a little more visible.
However, on its first voyage (2,000-ish miles), I had to tighten the bolt where it attaches to the hitch several times, the tether for the tilt pin broke, and the pin that keeps the arms extended was SO HARD to get in (while I had no problem at all with the tilt pin or the lowered arm position). It was no fun wrestling with that pin in the dark, while being eaten by ravenous mosquitoes. (Moral of the story, put the arms up BEFORE you're trying to break camp at 9pm!) I'm hoping it loosens up a little with age.
All that said, I'd buy this rack again. I like the way it collapses for storage, and the "anti-sway" knob adds another layer of security.

I just received my Swagman trailhead bike carrier for 3 bikes with the Swagman locking hitch pin. The carrier was pre assembled which was great. Just had to add 1 bolt and that was it.
I am currently carrying two bikes which at first had a hard time figuring out how to mount them on the carrier. The handlebars from one bike would hit the tires of the other or the peddle would go through the spokes of the other bike. I separated the hangers and put the bikes on the 1st and 3rd position which works great. Don't see how to get 3 bikes on there without banging them together. ( this is the only reason for a 4 star rating ). Tilt feature is great but tailgate will not go all the way down. But I got this to carry my bikes so no big deal.
The straps to hold the bikes in place are nice and thick but will order extras just to have on hand.
I used a piece of pipe insulator on the handlebars so it won't mess things up and just tried using zip ties to hold things together. Will get velcro strips for this.
Took a test drive and went over speed bumps at 25 mph and everything worked great.
by: Harriet B05/13/2014
I am a 64 yr. old woman. I watched the video how to put the bike rack on my trailer hitch of my Jeep. I went out and within 10 min. I had it all done. It was so easy. The problem I had was getting the bikes on! I had 2 Giant women bikes to get on. The first time it took me over 45 min. The next time about 25 min. Finally the third time I put them on in about 5 min. I just had to figure out the puzzle. It is a very solid rack with little or no rocking around. I really like it a lot.

- Bike Rack Recommendation for Class I Hitch that Can Carry 38 lb BikesThe frame cradles of the Swagman Trailhead part # S63365 are rated at 35 lbs per bike. So while the rest of the rack has a higher weight capacity you would have to make sure that each of your bikes weighs less than 35 lbs.
view full answer... - Can Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack Be Installed if Hitch Pin is Closer to Receiver OpeningThe only restriction for the Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # S63365 when it comes to trailer hitches is that this needs to be installed on at least a Class II hitch receiver. As long as your trailer hitch has a 1-1/4" Class II receiver you'll be good to go!
view full answer... - How Many Bikes Can you Carry with Swagman Trailhead Bike Carrier on a Class I HitchClass I hitches can not handle the additional weight and leverage that the third bike will put on the hitch. The weight of the third bike will be extended pretty far out and away from the hitch pin so the leverage would be too much for the hitch. You could use this Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Carrier # S63365 that you referenced on the hitch that is on your 2008 Chevy HHR but you should not put more than 2 bikes on this rack at a time.

- Will the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack Clear the Spare Tire on a 1997 Honda CR-VIn order to determine if the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Carrier, # S63365, will clear the spare tire on your 1997 Honda CR-V, you will need to take an important measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest out part of the spare tire. If this measurement is less than 13 inches, the rack will work. However, I spoke with my contact at Swagman and they stated that they are switching makers of components for the rack and the specifications might change. If you...
view full answer... - Lock Recommendation for the Swagman Trailhead Bike RackThe Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack # S63365 does have an anti-rattle device that can work when used in a 2 inch or 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. When used in a Class I hitch like the # 24831 I can't recommend you ever use more than 2 bikes. Doing so would void the warranty. This is a great rack at a great price so I would recommend it for you. For a lock for this bike rack you would just need the part # S64029 as well.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Accepts 27.5 Inch Wheels and a 50 Inch WheelbaseI recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 is a 3-bike holder which accepts up to a 50-inch wheelbase. The wheel size does not matter in this case. This budget-friendly rack is becoming quite popular due to its low price and light weight. Getting the 3-bike version gives you some extra room between bikes. If you prefer to stick with the 2-bike version of this, the part number is # S63360.

- Carrying More Than 2 Bikes with Class I Hitch on 2010 Honda CR-VThe hitch and bike rack manufacturers all agree that a bike rack installed in a Class I receiver should be limited to two bikes. The weight is not the only issue, any additional bikes added will put the load of the rack and the bikes further away from the receiver opening. As this distance increases, so does the leverage applied to the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle. This leverage can bend and eventually break the hitch or cause the hitch attachment points to the vehicle...

If the top tube on the bike frame is not long enough to fit between the arms of the rack, it will not fit. The arms on the Swagman Trailhead are 11-1/2 inches long. If the frame is an alternative shape and not round, the bike may not fit in the cradles properly. What you can do is use the Easy-Out adapter, # 64005. One end clamps on the handle bar stem and the other end clamps around the seat post below the seat. The adapter...

view full answer... - Swagman Trailhead Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Replacement Snapper PinI spoke with my contact at Swagman. He stated that the pin used on the Trailhead 3 Bike Rack, # S63365, is a 1/2 inch diameter pin. The Wire Lock Pin, # 2471, that you have referenced is a 1/2 diameter pin. The 3-1/2 inch length is plenty long enough to fit the Swagman rack, so you can use it as a replacement. To verify, just measure from the outside of the hole where the pin goes to the outside of the opposite hole. The distance should be less than 3-1/2 inches.
