Locking Hitch Pin and Cable Lock for the Swagman XTC4, # S64665, 4 Bike Platform Rack

Question:

I am thinking about buying the XTC4. I would like to be sure that I have everything needed to connect to my 2 hitch and to protect the bikes. Can you suggest a locking hitch pin and cable lock for securing the rack and bikes? Basically I want to order anything that I need. Thanks.

I would be happy to point out a few accessories for the Swagman XTC4, # S64665. For a locking hitch pin, the only available option is the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin, # S64027. This is the only lock that will work because it and the rack are uniquely threaded to fit with each other.

For a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack, you can use lock, # e98891. This is a 10 foot cable lock with a plastic coated steel strand. You can route the chain through the bike and through the safety chain loops on the hitch for maximum security.

I have included a link to a video review and the installation details of this Swagman XTC4 below.
