Review: Good but heavy - I really like the Yakima EXO system. It allows me to mix and match to fit what excursion I'm going out for. It's awesome. It all hinges (pun intended?) on the SwingBase. This is robust, to say the least. It is quite heavy. I do wonder if that is necessary because it seems like it adds a lot of torque to the hitch when it is swung out. It does recommend using an included jack to help stabilize it for extended swing out use. Overall, I like this. There are a few things I noticed about it worth mentioning. It is heavy and difficult to set up alone. It's probably best as a two person job. It is not a simple pin and cotter pin attachment to the tow hitch like with other hitches. You have to screw in a large bolt, then use a cotter pin to secure it (you can also lock it). It comes with a crescent wrench to screw in this bolt. I busted my knuckles on my driveway a couple of times because the wrench slipped off of the bolt head. After that, I got a socket wrench in order to save my knuckles. This is designed to go on your car and stay there. I want to remove it and be able to tow a boat. So it makes it a little bit of a pain to remove. Not sure if there is a better option because it does need a solid connection to the tow receiver. The jack is a bit of a joke, though. It's basically a foot, a screw, and a rectangular tube you put a metal rod through and screw up or down. It's a bit difficult to get started, and while it does ultimately get the job done, I have little confidence in it. I'll probably get a small hydraulic jack to use instead. I like that this can be tucked away when not in use. And like I said, the versatility is very good. It's nice that it can swing out so I can access the trunk of my car. Overall, I like this. I'd recommend it. There are a few things that I'd like to see change, but it's a solid system.
Review: Great addition to our camper van! - I had been looking for a means to add some storage to my class B camper van (‘23 Ram Promaster Chassis). I saw this system mentioned favorably on a Facebook camper van forum a few months ago. I researched it, read loads of reviews and watched numerous installation and use YouTube videos. When I received my Swingbase, I found it so easy to install. It is is extremely high quality, and well built. The only issue is that even with only the base attached, I cannot open the back door to the van. I must swing the base to the open position in order to open the back doors of the van. I do realize that this system is made to fit a wide variety of vehicles, so I am ok with this limitation, but at least there is a work-around. In any event, getting the base in the open position is a quick and easy action. I also ordered the accessory Gear Locker, which I also found to be high quality and easy to attach. This is a very well-engineered system. I cannot wait to really put it through its paces in the coming months!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i have lexus gx 460. The door pulls to the right when you open it. Can i still open the back door with swing base 90deg open with bikes?**
A: I also have a gx460 and yes it swings out perfectly to the right further than the door and allows the GX door to open fully.

**Q: Will the swing arm clear the tailgate of a F250?**
A: Well, probably but I'm wondering what the point would be to attaching one of these to the back of a pickup truck. The only reason I got this is because I have a camper van and not a pickup.

**Q: Will swing arm clear the back door of a chevy suburban or gmc denali?**
A: Depends. If your back door opens side to side, then definitely. If the door drops down, then maybe. The swing arm.is about level with my bumper so I have to swing it open to be open the left rear door on my van. And then remember, whatever you attach to the swing arm will also increase the height. I have a cargo basket and I've been generally pretty happy with the system.

**Q: Will this work for a 2015 Sienna or will this be too much weight on the tongue?**
A: it is only 80 lbs
