Swagman XC Platform Hitch Bike Rack Vs Hollywood Racks Trail 2
Question:
Trying to decide between the Swagman XC and the Hollywood Racks Trail to be used with a 2015 Subaru Impreza with a class 1 Curt 1.25inch hitch receiver.
asked by: John
Expert Reply:
Between the two racks I would recommend you go with the Hollywood Racks Trail part # HR200Z.
Both this rack and the Swagman # S64650 are great racks but if you check out the test course videos I attached for both racks you will see that the Hollywood Racks moves quite a bit less than the Swagman when traveling down the road.
Aside from that the racks are very similar.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
