Class lll Trailer Hitch And 4-Bike Carrier For 2016 Nissan Rogue  

Question:

I have Nissan Rogue 2016 SV AWD and am looking for a easy to install and not very expensive but good bike rack for 4 bikes 2 adult and 2 24” kid bikes. I also need a hitch receiver to go with it since I dont have it installed on my car yet. Looking at your site, it seems Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch - 75092 and Swagman Original 4 Bike Rack for 2inch Hitches - s64400 would work. Is it correct and what other options do I have?

Expert Reply:

The trailer hitch you mentioned, Draw-Tite # 75902 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Rogue. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.

The Swagman Original 4 Bike Rack # S6440 will work great in the 2-inch hitch on your Rogue. This carrier has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike. This bike carrier tilts when empty to allow access to the rear cargo area.

If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kid's bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.

Another option for a bike rack is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR1400Z. This is a platform rack that has some great features. This carrier will tilt away from the vehicle even with the bikes loaded for rear cargo access. The padded hooks hold the bikes firmly on the carrier. This bike carrier can be used as a 2-bike or 4-bike carrier, and has hitch and cable locks.
