Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Impala, we'll be test fitting part number S64670. This is
the Swagman XTC2 2 Bike Carrier for both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches. Now to begin our test
fit, we've already removed the included adapter for the 2-inch hitch so we're ready to go
ahead and install it into our 1-1/4-inch hitch. We'll slide the shank of the bike rack into
the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole, and install and tighten down our anti-rattle bolt.
With our anti-rattle bolt tight, our bike rack is secured to the vehicle. Now, we'll
go ahead and give you a few measurements. Our ground clearance at the bike rack is 16-1/8
inches and from the closest point of the bike rack to the back of the vehicle is 2-1/2 inches.
Now, we'll go ahead and unfold the bike rack platform and open our trunk. As you can see,
we can gain full access to the cargo area, opening the door completely with this bike
rack. We're now almost ready to load our bike. We'll need only to make sure that our wheel
loop straps are undone and out of the way and that our vertical bar clamps are completely
extended.
