Swagman Titan Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2013 Hyundai Elantra- Video
Today on our 2013 Hyundai Elantra we'll be test fitting the Swagman Titan Four Bike Carrier, part number s63410. Now to begin our test fit we'll slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our pin holes, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the pin holes and tighten with a wrench. Now with our Swagman tightened secured to our Hyundai Elantra we'll go over a few clearance measurements to see how they fit together.From the rear of the carrier we have about 14 inches ground clearance. Closest part of the carrier to the closest part of the vehicle here at the bumper is about seven inches. With the cradle arms folded down we've added about 18 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. We can now pull the black lever at the top of the mast to swing the cradle arms out and for the vehicle's rear bumper to the end of the cradle arms we've added an additional 36 inches to the overall length of the vehicle.Now with this bike carrier you can access the trunk of the vehicle with the mast in its upright position or you can pull the black lever at the base of carrier to tilt the mast down to be able to load larger cargo easier. more
