2014 Cadillac SRX Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack
Question:
I'd like to add a hitch to my 2014 SRX so I can carry a bike rack. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55AR for your 2014 Cadillac SRX because it's the only option that has a matte black finish that blends in with any black trim on your Cadillac and hides scratches from road debris really well. The other hitches have a glossy black finish which is standard, but stands out a little more and it's easier to see scratches on that style.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR because of how easy it is to use and the U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to install and remove bikes from. The Transfer V2 also has a tilt-away feature so you can still gain access to your rear hatch area without removing the bikes.
Attached is an installation video of the trailer hitch as well as a review video of the bike rack for you to check out.
