Bike hitch for back of 5er

I mounted a 4 place bike rack on rear bumper 11 years ago. Still solid as a rock. No bounce, no nothing. Sadly, we don't take the bikes anymore, but figured I'd leave it on anyways "just in case". Adds an add'l 4', so I'm 54' nose to tail.

Four bikes is a lot of overhang. I'd be cautious (read scared).

All very good info,I also have a Swagman, a very well made bike rack. Not to hi-jack the thread but as a side note that may be helpful.

They bounce a lot and if the rack is not tight in the receiver that added movement only amplifies that bounce.Stressing not only the mounting point but also the bike rack.

I have tried almost every Anti Rattle device on the market, most have been no good or so complicated and cumbersome that they are useless. I have a whole tool box full of them.

Until I found the one at Hitch Rider. This will keep everything tight.

Their Hitch Vice is the best and easiest one I have come across and it really works.

Swagman XTC2 is a very good quality product!

I have the same swagman that you're looking at, haven't used it yet though as the season has not started. Looks well built.

I use a 2 bike swagman bought at Camping World. It works great.
