Bike Rack Recommendation for 65 lb E-bikes With Fat Tires
Question:
Could you suggest a bike carrier for me on my 2013 ram 1500 pickup with a 2 inch hitch. I need to carry 2 fat tire e-bikes with 4 inch tires that weigh 65 pound each. The weight of the bikes seems to be above most carriers that I see. Please make a suggestion if you have any thanks.

You are correct that there are limited options for a bike rack that is capable of carrying a pair of 65 lb e-bikes with 4 inch fat tires. What you will need is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR with the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679.
This rack will fit the 2" hitch on your 2013 Ram and is extremely well-built, as you can imagine for a bike rack that can take the weight of heavy e-bikes. It is more than just sturdy though, because the rack also gives you protection for your investments. The E-Spec comes with a lock for the rack, securing it to your hitch, as well as locks to secure your e-bikes to the rack.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR.
