How easy is the bike rack to remove? Once we get to our destination I envision removing the rack from the hitch. fyi this would be for a 2018 Lexus RX350

Installing and removing the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 will require you to screw in and unscrew the threaded anti-rattle hitch pin that it comes with in order to install and remove it from a hitch such as the Curt # C13272 that fits your 2018 Lexus RX 350, and this would also be true if you wanted to lock your rack to your hitch with the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031. It is not a difficult process and the minimal time you'll spend doing this is a small trade-off for the economical price.
