2 Inch Hitch to Carry a Swagman titan S63400 2 Bike Rack on a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox
Question:
I would like to purchase a 2inch hitch to use with the Swagman #S63400. Can I purchase this from you or do I need to purchase it elsewhere? Also, are there any other parts for this bike rack that I would need to purchase? Thank you!

You can purchase a 2-Inch hitch to use with the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack, part # S63400 from us.
I recommend purchasing an etrailer Class III hitch, part # e98865 for your vehicle because it is capable of using a Class III. A 2-inch hitch will come in handy as they have a wide range of applications and accessories compatible with them. You will want to verify your vehicle's towing capacity in its owner's manual before use. Additionally, there's no drilling required for installation, and I've included a video of that process on a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox so you can see what the process is like.
Because the Swagman Titan already has an integrated cable lock for the bikes, I recommend two additional accessories to make using the rack a breeze. The first is an anti-rattle hitch lock, part # S64029. This part will secure the hitch with a locking pin and tighten it so that it doesn't move as much inside the receiver, resulting in a smoother, more secure ride.
Additionally, if you're looking to carry any alternative frame bikes like a women's or child's, you'll want a Swagman Frame Adapter Bar, part # 64005. This will allow you to ride the bikes parallel to the ground rather than hanging at an angle, reducing the chance that they'll be damaged by any bumps on the road.
