Question Thule T-2 & swing away

Wachuko.....& friends.....
Do think the Thule Swing a Way with my Thule T-2 will adequately clear doors on my 19’TB.....has the 180 degree doors....not the 270 doors like on EXT’s ???

Thanks again!
I’ve just ordered the Yakima Backswing from Amazon as I need it right away and Thule and Kuat would have to be backordered to some indefinite future date. Did this work out for you?

We carry 3 fairly heavy e-bikes and have had no issues so far. We don’t have a swing hitch yet. You can barely tell they are on the back. I’d recommend a decent built bike rack though.

Thule 957

We use the Thule 957 extensively and have been real happy with it. Very heavy duty, holds 4 bikes and the rear doors still able to swing open when the bikes are loaded; although you do have to swing the bikes out of the way a little bit.

We found the drawback to the 'arm style' rack is that the bikes end up moving around a lot and scraped into each other.

We bought a rack that holds both bike tires firmly in place which has eliminated the bikes rubbing together!
