Swinging Hitch-Mount Bike Rack for Use on 2003 Ford F-250 With Camper

Question:

I want to be able to use a hitch mounted bike rack on a pickup camper that has a door in the center of the back. I would like to swing the bike rack out of the way of the door without removing it from the truck I would have to remove the bicycles before swinging the rack out of the way Do you have such a product?

If your 2003 F-250 is fitted with a 2-inch hitch receiver like # 13355 from Curt we can offer you a hitch-mount bike rack that can swing out of the way even when loaded with your bikes.

Yakima's FullSwing 4 Bike Carrier for 2-Inch Hitches # Y02465 can be swung out even when carrying a full load of 4 bikes. This rack includes locks both for the rack itself and for your bikes. Please see the linked video for details on this unique carrier.

You will want to take a measurement of the clearance required at the back of your truck for a rack to clear the back of the camper. The linked article will illustrate how to check for the clearance required from a bike rack.
