Does Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack for 2-Inch Hitches S64665 Fold Down When Loaded With Bikes

Question:

I am curious to know if this bile rack folds down and away from the vehicle with bikes installed so that the tailgate can be lifted up? thanks

The Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Platform Rack for 2-Inch Hitches # S64665 does fold up flat against the rear of your minivan for storage when it is unloaded, but it cannot fold down when loaded with bikes.

We do offer carriers that can be moved out of the way of the rear of your vehicle even when they are fully loaded with bikes.

Yakima offers their FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 that swings out of the way of the rear of your minivan even when it is fully loaded with bikes. The carrier's arms also fold down when unloaded.
This rack comes with included locks for both the rack itself and for your loaded bikes; and it is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
