Recommendations To Allow a Chevy Tahoe Tow a Trailer and Carry a Bike Rack
Question:
What bike racks do you offer that are quickly removable. I want to put one on a Tahoe in the step bumper to bring bikes to the lake but it would block the rear door from opening. Is there any that swing down or that can be removed quickly without having to remove the bolt? I want to tow a boat with the receiver hitch so that isnt an option and I dont want to put them on the roof. Thanks

Expert Reply:
There are bike racks available that are quickly removable and that have tilting and swinging features that will give you access to the rear of your vehicle, but there are not any ball mounted bike racks that have those features.
I would recommend you get Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. This will provide you with a ball mount for towing your trailer and a hitch opening for a hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch mounted bike rack that tilts I would recommend you get a Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Carrier # S63365. This bike rack would be easy to remove and can fold for easy access to the rear of your vehicle.
