Hitch and Bike Rack Compatible with 2012 Nissan Sentra
Question:
I need to purchase a hitch for my 2012 Nissan Sentra. I would like a hitch that is compatible with the Yakima Ridgeback 2. Can you recommend the correct hitch? I am aware that the car has a TW of 100 lb, but this should be sufficient for 2 bikes + weight of rack. Thank you in advance,

Expert Reply:
The Yakima RidgeBack bike rack part is not going to fit your 2012 Nissan Sentra as it requires a Class II hitch and all that is available for your Sentra are Class I hitches like the part # 24794. The only safe recommendation I can make is to upgrade to a similar bike rack that is Class I hitch compatible.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
