Integrated Towing Bar
The Swagman Original allows you to pull a small trailer while simultaneously carrying 4 bikes. This leaves your roof available for carrying a cargo box, tent, and other accessories. To tow your trailer, bolt a 2" tow ball (sold separately) to the front of the integrated tow bar.
Steel Plates with Rubber-Cushioned Cradles
The rack has upper and lower steel plates with rubber-cushioned cradles that secure your bikes by the top tube. To install your bikes, set them in the cradles on the lower plate, place the upper plate over the top tubes, and tighten the plates together using the hand knobs.
Soft rubber padding inside the cradles protects your bikes from scratches and scuffs. The padding has grooves on the surface that prevent your brake and shifter cables from getting pinched.
Easy Tilting for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to uncouple your trailer or remove the whole rack to access your cargo area.
To tilt the rack down, pull out the pin at the base of the rack, lift the mast out of the groove above the pin, and lower it. When you're ready to go, lift the mast up and re-insert the pin to secure it in place.
Threaded Hitch Pin
A threaded hitch pin is included to help eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. To tighten the pin in your hitch, use a 5/8" wrench (not included). A clip is also included to keep the pin in place.
Available Security and Adapter Bar
An anti-rattle hitch lock (sold separately) is available to secure the rack to your vehicle.
You can also add a pair of padlocks (sold separately) to secure your bikes to the rack. The plates that hold your bikes in place have holes to accommodate padlocks up to 5/8" in diameter.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.

Good product. The 350 lbs tongue capacity may be an issue considering the bikes weight and what you intend to haul. I customized a 600 lbs bar to avoid that and meet my hauling needs. Impressive 4 bikes 2’’ hitch solution to be able to use a single rack when using the ball or not.
by: Eric K.08/10/2014
Works well, easy to use. Ideally it would have a 2" receiver at the end rather than a place for a ball. Be sure to have chain extensions ready when you are towing something.
by: dave s06/18/2016
I missed two points when I ordered this bike rack ... 1 is that it is extremely
heavy to lift and 2 the obvious but I missed it that the rack does not drop
down ... like other racks I now own
I was focused on the screw down holder which looks to be fine ... even for
bikes I own that have different size cross bars
The rack does sway from left to right ... just like my other racks ... great
opportunity for Reese or someone to make a anti sway bar that would
anchor on the vehicle hitch and connect to the vertical bike rack bar ..
with a simple disconnect so the rack can be tilted
Great service as usual from the people at eTrailer
by: Jerry02/05/2014
We haven't used it yet, but are planning a trip tp the Keys next month. I think it's going to work great.
by: Larry P07/24/2013
Bike rack arrived quickly and works well if no height adjustment is needed. The rack would be better if it had a hitch receptacle for height adjustment rather than the ball attaching directly to the rack.
by: Tim King09/12/2011
Perfect for my needs, how ever the ball end of the stem should have a 2" receiver so a drop down bar can be attached to insure proper height for the ball.
Easy to assemble and use, holds bikes tight with almost no wiggle. Sway strap included is a bonus.
by: Rick A.07/27/2017
Excellent grip coverage on all four bikes, used adapter for woman's bikes.
Unit did not have a lot of sway , can swing down for access to tailgate,
and can still accept a ball for towing
by: Anne10/19/2020
The bike rack/hitch is strong and easy to use. It towed and held bikes for about 3500 miles no problem
by: Matthew 08/17/2020
Had an initial problem with the base of the rack, but etrailer contacted Swagman and had them send me out a replacement. Works great now. Good customer service, good product.
by: Teddy D.08/08/2018
The product has exceeded my expectations. Very durabIe construction. I mount 3 bikes and then attach a Fleetwood Bayside Pop-Up Camper and the cargo pulls with ease.
by: Scott B.05/12/2012
When I received the package, the wrong part was put in the box, I contacted etrailer and they contacted the manufacturer. The replacement part was delivered to my door within days, customer service was excellent!

Quick delivery and nice quality rack.
by: Kevin06/15/2011
Great product, really sturdy, easy to set up and get bikes on and off quickly. Really like the versatility in having the towing capacity.
by: John05/14/2012
As usual the product was shipped extremelly quickly from etrailer.com, and arrived in excellent condition. It was easy to assemble and fits perfectly.
Thank you!

Received package in shorter time than expected. Package was shipped with care, no damage. Would definitely buy from them again
by: Matt 07/23/2020

I needed a small bike rack for my 5th wheel. I came to etrailer as my trusted source for info and availability since we live full time on the road. Plus these are hard to find in brick and mortar stores since COVID. I ordered the rack on a Sunday and received a confirmation and tracking number before I went to bed!! The package even arrived a day early. The rack is more sturdy than I had expected and look forward to safe transport of my bike. I also like I now have the ability to mount and use it on the rear of my pickup if needed. This is a 5 star rack but gets only 4 stars due to my one issue. The only issue was a small amount of what looks like welding slag in the threaded attachment hole to the trailer. (see picture) Having no other option, I just forced/re-threaded the bolt during installation. Since I hope to not need to remove the rack, I am just hoping for the best in the future.
by: Chuck03/16/2018
Product is better and sturdier than I expected. I was shocked at how fast it shipped. It was extremely well packaged. I have not seen this type of care in shipping for a long time. I am very happy with the product especially at the price. It had several features I was looking for:
1. It is rigid to the hitch with no flopping.
2. The bikes can be securely locked to the carrier.
3. The unit can easily be locked to the hitch (with the additional locking bolt that I would recommend purchasing.
4. When not in use it can easily be stored FLAT in the storage area of my RV without taking up a lot of room.
I would highly recommend etrailer and this bike carrier. I will be doing additional business with etrailer in the future!
by: Mark06/12/2023
The product did not come with instructions as to the installation of the pin locking it to the hitch. A left-handed person will naturally put it in from the left, which doesn't work. It can only be inserted and function properly if inserted from the right side. As simple sentence in this instructions could have covered this. Yes, the world is right handed, at least most of it. A left-handed person is going to put it in from the left side. One sentence could've clarified this.

- Distance From Center Of Hitch Pin To Center Of Ball On Swagman 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675On the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches - Tilting # S64675, the distance from the hitch pin to the hitch ball is 25 inches center on center. If you want to measure all the way to the end, it will be about 26-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole. I've attached a photo to assist.

- Weight of the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack The Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack, part # S64675 weighs 38 pounds out of its packaging. Remember when using a hanging rack if you carry any women's, children's or alternative frame bike you will need to use an adapter bar like part # 64005 to ensure that they ride level to the ground.
view full answer... - Can Swagman XP Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Replacement Cradle 64860 Clamp to Square Tube?The U-bolt for this replacement cradle would only be stable on a round tube. I would recommend a bike rack that mounts on your ball mount instead of on your kayak trailer. You might try the 4-Bike Swagman # S64675. Another option is a truck bed rack or roof rack. I have included links to those products below.

This will allow you greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video showing how it works.
view full answer... - How to Tighten Nut on Ball for Swagman Towing Bike Carrier 64675There are a couple of options on tightening the nut on a ball installed at the end of Swagman towing bike carrier # S64675. First, if the nut is the same width as the opening at the end of the carrier then the walls of the shank will prevent the nut from turning. The ball would have to have wrench flats to turn it. The second option is a ball that has a long enough shank to go all the way through the bike carrier shank to thread on the nut on the outside of carrier. Ball # 19254 for example...
view full answer... - What is the True Tongue Weight Capacity of Swagman Towing Bike Rack S64675I spoke with my contact at Swagman and she told me that you would have to subtract the weight of the rack and bikes to get the most accurate tongue weight capacity of the Swagman Original, # S64675. So without bikes on the rack, your tongue weight with the rack installed would be 350 pounds. It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds.
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Bike Rack For 2016 Ford EscapeWe do have a bike rack with a hitch ball hole that can be used for your camper. This is the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack, part # S64675. The bike rack can carry up to 4 bikes and is designed to fit 2 inch receiver openings. The hitch ball hole requires a hitch ball with a 3/4 inch shank. For a 2-inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19258, and for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19256.

This has the bolt inside the knob just as you were needing. Let me know if you need anything else!
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Parts for Reese Outfitters Adventure Bike Rack Manufactured by SwagmanSwagman manufactured the Outfitter Adventure racks for Reese up until 14-15 years ago. They make a rack very similar to that one currently, which is the Swagman # S64675 Original. Unfortunately, the replacement bottom plate and the bolts you mention aren't available anymore because the bottom plate is now integral to the rack and isn't removable. So if you can safely repair the rack you are certainly welcome to do so, but the updated model does have the ability to tilt away from the vehicle...

In order to use a hanging style bike rack with bikes that have a deep drop tube frame, you will need an adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 which installs between the seatpost and handlebar post to create a level attachment point. In regards to the Swagman XP and Detail K2, I can't recommend you modify...
view full answer... - Curt Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime Using a Swagman Bike Rack We do have a hitch for your 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime it is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13416. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your RAV4 with included hardware. This hitch sits 12" above the ground so you will have plenty of clearance for your Swagman Original Bike Rack item # S64675. I have linked a diagram I made and also an installation video.

- Recommended Replacement for Reese Outfitter Adventure Towing Bike RackI do have a couple great options for you, however there are no longer any replacement top pieces available that fit your older Reese Outfitter Adventure Rack. Your only option at this point is to replace the carrier altogether. For a rack that's really similar to what you have I recommend taking a look at the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675. This carrier can handle 4 bikes and has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, which I believe is even more than the limits on your Reese...
view full answer... - Trailer Ball Recommendation for Swagman Trailhead Towing Bike RackWe do offer some 1-7/8 inch trailer balls with a 3/4 inch diameter threaded shank, but we don't offer one with an exactly-3000 lb weight capacity. We do however offer a 2000 lb capacity ball as part # C40001 which would work well for light-duty towing up to 2000 lbs.
view full answer... - How to Tow with Reese Outfitter Adventure Bike RackThe Reese Outfitter Adventure bike rack is an older model of the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675. To tow with the Swagman Original you need a hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter shank like the Draw-Tite # 19256 1-7/8" hitch ball. If the trailer you're wanting to tow has a 1-7/8" coupler and the hole in the shank of your Outfitter accepts a 3/4" diameter shank then this hitch ball is what you need. If you have something else please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help...

I recommend looking in to adding a hitch to the back of the trailer like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C13701. The is a bolt on or weld on application, fits frame widths from 18" to 51" apart and has a 500lb tongue capacity.

- Availability Of A Bike Rack that Can Be Used While Towing a TrailerI do have some choices of three bike racks and four bike racks that can be used with towing a trailer. All of the bike racks that are available to be used with towing a trailer will need to be used on a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. The Swagman XC 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650, will not work as a towing bike rack. I would recommend the Swagman Original 4-Bike Towing Rack, part # S64675. This is a four bike rack that mounts on the ball mount. If you have an existing ball mount and there...

On your Jeep's trailer hitch measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the spare tire. If that distance is less than 6 inches the rack will clear the spare tire. For another option, you could use Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with...

First, you could use a tailgate pad # S64760. This will protect the truck and the bikes, secure the bikes, and you will likely not have to fold up the Tonneau cover all the way. I have linked a video review of this product for you. Another option is to use a towing bike rack, # S64675, as long as the trailer's tongue weight is less than...

The Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210, can tow a trailer and carry an accessory, such as a bike rack simultaneously, however, this application will depend upon the towing capacity of your vehicle and weight of your trailer.

view full answer... - Adding a Trailer Hitch Receiver to a Bike RackI would not recommend adding a receiver to the end of the Swagman Original Towing Bike Rack, # S64675. This bike rack comes with a hole that allows you to add a hitch ball with a 3/4 inch diameter like part # 19256. If you want a 2 inch hitch ball, then you can use part # 19258. Adding a receiver would likely void the warranty on the bike rack. If you want to add a receiver because you need more of a drop or rise to tow your trailer level, then I recommend using a multipurpose ball mount...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation that Allows Use of a Cargo CarrierI have a better solution for you, you would want the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount Item # Y36FR. This rack will attach to the shank of your cargo carrier that is in the hitch of your vehicle. I attached a review video for you to check out. The Swagman Original - Folding 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675 that you referenced does not have an additional hitch opening at the end of the shank so a cargo carrier would not be able to install into it.
