Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2002 GMC Envoy- Video
Today on our 2002 GMC Envoy, we're going to be test fitting the Swagman Trail Head Four Bike Rack, part number S63380. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. First off, how the bike is attached to the rack, it has four points of contact that are on the bike's frame. You have three straps up top here, and one strap off to the side here, which acts as a anti-sway strap which keeps it from moving back and forth, possibly hitting the bike rack or the bikes in front of it. Let's go ahead and take that off. It's always good practice once you take the straps off to put them back on before you start driving, because you don't want them flapping around, and you don't want to possibly lose them while driving. Next I'm going to give you some measurements, though it will give you some idea of how far it sticks out from the vehicle once it's installed. I'll be measuring from the bumper. Right at about 40 inches there. Next we'll do ground clearance from this point here. more
