3-Bike Hitch Rack that Fits Draw Tite Hitch for 2017 BMW X5

Question:

I have Draw Tite hitch 2X2inch installed on my 2017 BMW X5. Now looking to get a 3-bike rack for this hitch. I am looking at Swagman trailhead 3bike carrier. Is it a perfect fit to Draw Tite or do I need to have some additional parts adapters etc? Any other thing I need to consider or do you recommend a better fitting 3bike rack for my setup? Thanks

For your 2017 BMW X5 that has the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75600 installed the Swagman Trailhead part # S63365 that you referenced fits perfectly and does not require any additional adapters or hardware.

For the value you get with the Trailhead I believe it's your best choice. No other rack has as many features as this rack and is as well-built in this price range so it's your best option. I attached a review video for this rack for more info as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
