Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Chrysler 200- Video
Today on this 2015 Chrysler 200 we're going to be test fitting the Swagman Trailhead 4 bike rack, part number S63380. As you can see we already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go a head and take a closer look at it and show off some of the features. How the bike is actually attached to the rack, you're going to have 4 points of contact with your bike's frame. You're going to have 3 straps up top here, then 1 strap off to the side here which is going to serve as an anti-sway strap to keep it from coming back and forth, possibly hitting the bike rack itself, or the bikes in front of it. Let's go ahead and remove the bike, set it off to the side. With the straps removed it's always a good practice to actually put them back into place because you don't want them flapping around while you're driving, and you don't want to lose them while you're driving. With that done I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. more
