Bike Rack

[meadowcreek]

Wondering if anyone knows where I can find a bike rack that goes on the front of the truck? Thanks!

On the way to Florida in February. Ignore the road salt!

Got some great ideas here, thanks for all the input!

Curt and swagman. Ground clearance is only an issue when off road, even then not bad. The swagman pin is actually a screw type which really limits wobble.

Bro John's 2-bike set up on his '99 Ford F-250:

My 2-bike version on a '01 Dodge 2500. Both of these were installed for ground clearance and set pretty high.

I also have a front receiver, I use the rack below. It's a bit different than normal tray models, it holds the bikes by the wheels. It's good because it's adjustable vertically so you can drop it lower to be able to see over it better. It's also convertable from 2-4 bike and doesn't stick out as far off the front as the tray style.

Curt front mount hitch and a Swagman XC bike rack works great for us.

I put a Curt hitch on the front of my F350 and I have a Thule bike rack that fits the receiver on the hitch. 14,000 miles last year with nary a problem. Easy install on the hitch.

Thanks for such quick responses!

Our bike rack was used on the back until we got our front hitch installed. DH just made the receiver tube longer that goes from receiver to the bike rack, doing that allowed rack more distance from bikes to front of truck. Anyone that sells bikes should sell bike racks.

I use the type that goes into a hitch. I bought a front hitch from http://www.etrailer.com. The install wasn't too bad.
