It's sad they discontinued this. I hope they make a new version!

As far as we know Thule does not make these anymore. It was the best on the market and the highest rated carry weight

Did you end up drilling a new hole to slide the pin in where the swing away mounts to the vehicles hitch reciever?

I have a Thule X2 4 bike carrier. Will this work with this product. With 4 bikes I’m guessing the weight is 130-150 lbs.

The bike rack is so far back.. is that because of the design of the swing out, or the bike rack? If I had a different rack, would it be closer?

You can only place bike racks? Why cant cargo carriers or wheelchair racks slide into the 2 inch receiver?

When the bike rack is attached, empty and folded up, what is the distance to the back of the vehicle. I'm trying to figure out if the hatch door on my 2021 Telluride would open with this on the vehicle. Thanks

Will you ship overseas to Germany? So far I had no luck to find a local seller which carries this kind of Thule swing arm in Europe

*I was expecting a lot of shortcuts to be taken at this price. I was wrong. Decent quality **Latest.Bike** raker . Easy on easy off.*

We have a mobile pet grooming van and been looking for something like this! We want to install a generator on a bumper rack but it needs to swing open as we still need to access the rear doors for tub and plumbing maintenance and wondering if it will hold the weight of a Honda generator 6500?

Can this adaptor be configured to swing to the drivers side?

[SoftTacoDFXR]

Two questions for everyone. Is there a swing out on the market that swings more than 90°? And are there any others that have that anti rattle feature?

[jstein]

Can this be used for a rear cargo carrier instead of a bike rack?

[lukewalters]

Newton meters says everything I need to hear. You guys have the number for Wilco offroad by any chance?

[Texasishot]

Do they make these to carry a cargo cage for a wheelchair?

[kathycouch]

What if you don't have a 2' receiver?

[tkjazzer]

How do you lock the bike rack to the Access swing?

[tanvir]

Has anybody used it off-road with a hitch carrier?
