Bike Rack Recommendation For a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Carrying 2 Bikes and Traveling Long Distances
Question:
Can you recommend a 2 Bike Rack for a 2011 Chevy Tahoe. Going to drive 1300 miles. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since you will be traveling a long distance I would recommend a platform style bike rack like the Swagman XTC-2, part # S64670, for your 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. The XTC-2 provides three different contact points for the bikes you are carrying and will provide much more stability than hanging bike racks. The XTC-2 has strong, durable rubber clamps to secure the wheels of the bike to the rack and offers a total weight capacity of 70 lbs.
I have included an informational video for you to check out for the XTC-2. Womens and childrens bikes may require an adapter bar like part # 64005 for a secure mount on a bike rack.
