Review of Swagman - Hitch Bike Racks - P316 Video

Hey Richard, for your 2011 Toyota Camry LE V6 with the dual exhaust, I actually recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch #36416. This hitch was designed with the dual exhaust models in mind, and we have had many customers report back to us that it will fit…

If you leave the hitch lock for the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack part #S44FR on for too long or there has been dirt that has gotten inside the lock core then there is a possibility that the lock can get stuck. I recommend that you spray some…

It sounds like you need the Replacement 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Shank for Swagman XC Series Bike Carriers #P306. This product can be used on older model Swagman XC bike racks that originally only were designed for 2 inch hitches to allow them to be…

In order to use the Swagman XC Hitch or RV Bumper Mount Rack, #S64663, with the 1-1/4 inch on your 2012 Ford Fusion you will need a hitch adapter like the Brophy, #HTAD. Please do keep in mind that using an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity…

There isn't a standard shank that your Swagman Traveller can use to fit a hitch like a standard hitch bike rack. Your best option would be the Swagman XC part #S64650 which is similar but does fit a standard trailer hitch like you are looking…

There is not a general restriction from Thule that says two Hullavator Kayak Carriers #TH898 can't be used on a Thule roof rack. As long as the crossbars on your Ford Escape have the required length for two sets and a sufficient weight capacity…

The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier #TH898 would be able to handle the 26 kg (57-ish lbs) weight of your canoe just fine but the shape of canoes and kayaks are different enough that the Hullavator Pro won't be able to properly secure your…

The Thule Hullavator Pro #TH898 is actually only meant to carry kayaks. If you are looking for a canoe carrier from Thule then the only option is the Portage Canoe Carrier w/ Tie-Downs #TH819. This carrier clamps around your crossbars but if you have…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

For a 2013 BMW 335i Hardtop convertible we have the Stealth hitch part #SH78vr as a confirmed fit. This is an invisible hitch that comes with everything needed to tow as well. It comes with trailer wiring and a ball mount attachment. I attached an…
