What Is The Best Hitch Receiver For A 2014 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Im wondering which class III hitch would be best for my 2014 Nissan Rogue, the Draw-Tite or Curt. I need the hitch for a bike rack. I havent purchased the rack yet. Will either hitch do the job or is one a better fit for my needs?

Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13204 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75902 are excellent hitch receiver options and perfect for hauling a bike rack on your 2014 Nissan Rogue. I recommend using the Draw-Tite hitch receiver as it is more cost effective and does not require any additional add-ons.

There are a few key differences between the Curt and Draw-Tite trailer hitch receivers. Curt has a higher tongue weight capacity than Draw-Tite however, this will not matter as each hitch is rated for more than your vehicle's maximum tongue weight capacity of 150 lbs. The Curt trailer hitch receiver requires a stabilizer strap such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap - Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle part # 18050 for all non-towing purposes and the Draw-Tite does not.

We have installation videos for both hitch receivers on a 2014 Nissan Rogue, which I have attached for you.
