YAKIMA, BackSwing, Swing-Away Bike Rack Adapter, Works With Most 2-Inch Hitch Products

This is an amazing product! The swing away arm is easy to use and sturdy. Fits perfectly on my Jeep Sahara 4xE

Fits my 2020 Jeep Wrangler hitch perfectly. The swing is just right so I can now open the back trunk door when the bike carrier and the bikes are attached.

This thing is amazing! Love it for our camper van. Makes carrying extra storage easy with the swing hitch.

This is a very nice rack. Lightweight (relative) sturdy and looks good. Unfortunately it is not designed for a cargo van. Once you install your bike rack or accessory, you won't be able to open the door. In our case, the 1Up bike rack prevented the door from opening at all when the bikes were not on. With the bikes on, we couldn't open it up all the way as a tire extended slightly beyond the rack and hit the edge of the van before 90 degrees. Very bummed and I DO recommend this Swing Away as long as you know it is NOT reversible like almost every other competitor and it is for standard cars/trucks/small vans.

The YAKIMA BackSwing hitch is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. Despite boasting a weight capacity of 250 pounds, this hitch attachment couldn't handle even half that weight without collapsing under the strain. I made the mistake of trusting its claims and loaded close to 200 pounds onto it, only to watch in horror as the hinge started to bend under the pressure. Attempting to swing the hitch out to access the gear proved to be a costly mistake. The weight combined with the flimsy construction caused the hinge to bend and warp, rendering it virtually unusable. Now, instead of enjoying the convenience of easy access to my gear, I'm stuck lifting and maneuvering the bent hitch every time I need to lock it back into place. It's infuriating to invest in a product that not only fails to deliver on its promises but also poses a serious safety hazard. I expected more from Yakima considering they are one of the best in the business.

I waited too long to buy this. It is heavy-duty and makes hauling bicycles so much more convenient. I don’t have to remove them and the rack now when I need to get into the back of the car. It swings effortlessly out of the way. The hitch lock is a threaded bolt, which can be inconvenient when installing or removing, but it allows the arm to be securely and firmly attached so that it is quiet and stable.

I bought this for a family trip. Our dog rides in the back of my wife's SUV, and had trouble getting out when we used a cargo platform that was in her way. This let us swing the whole platform to the side to let her out. It went onto the hitch solid, it is built very heavy which is good and had a bolt to tighten onto the outgoing hitch to prevent any wiggle. It locks positively closed and in the open position. I do recommend a hitch clamp for where it connects to the vehicle since there isn't a bolt on the side, just to lock everything down tight. It probably matters less if you are just loading on bikes, but I probably had 200 plus pounds on the platform, and it rode really well. Also, if you are going to use it with a platform I recommend finding one with a shortish hitch tube. The yakima adds maybe a foot to whatever you have mounted back there, which is a plus for bikes, but a long tube platform may be too far back for you.

Excellent, very simple and easy to use.
