Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack on a 2014 Ford Explorer
Question:
I am looking for a trailer hitch for a bike rack. I have a 2014 Ford Explorer. What do you suggest.
asked by: Michael B
Expert Reply:
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98867 because it has the matte black finish that not only looks better with the trim on your 2014 Ford Explorer, but it actually does a better job at hiding scratches from road debris than the classic glossy black finish that the other trailer hitches have.
Attached is an installation video as well as a photo of the finished product.
If you don't already have a bike rack then the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is an extremely popular choice among Explorer owners. This is a cost-effective 4-bike rack that has more basic features without sacrificing quality. Attached is a review video of this rack on a '14 Explorer for you to check out.
