How to Transport Bike on a 2014 Chevy Cruze Being Flat Towed
Question:
Id like to know is there one like this with an 8 in ball drop? I will be towing my 2014 chevy cruze behind my motorhome using a tow dolly and would like to take my bikes at least 3. If not any suggestions on how I can tow dolly my car and take my bikes? Ive seen ladder bike racks but am not a big fan on this method. your help will gladly be appreciated

Expert Reply:
Your best option is going to be to install a roof rack on your 2014 Chevy Cruze and then use roof rack mounted bike racks on the Cruze to carry your bikes as there are no adapters like the part # D210 that have enough drop for what you are trying to do.
For a roof rack the best bang for your buck option is the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK142.
For a bike rack the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC035 would be a great option as well.
