Is Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack Good Option for 2017 Toyota Camry and 2006 Toyota Corolla
Question:
I am new to buying bike racks for cars and was wondering about the compatibility of the Swagman bike rack to the 2006 Toyota Corolla. I also have a 2017 Toyota Camry, and it would be awesome to buy a bike rack that fits both. Will I also have to purchase any additional parts besides the bike rack to attack it to the car?

The Swagman XTC3 part # S64670 that you referenced is a very popular bike rack because of how well it fits a variety of vehicles like your 2006 Toyota Corolla and 2017 Toyota Camry but also because it's a really great bike rack at a very reasonable price tag. My dad has had this bike rack for about 8 years now and he still really likes it. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
You will need to have a hitch installed on both vehicles to allow the rack to install. For the 2006 Toyota Corolla you'd want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24913 and then for the 2017 Camry you'd want the Draw Tite part # 36540. The Draw Tite hitches are the way to go for your vehicles as they do not require the use of stabilizer straps with non-supported accessories like bike racks like the Curt hitches do.
