Hitch Class Available for 2015 Nissan Juke
Question:
If I used it for 3 bike rack which part number and which class should I use?
asked by: Andrew
Expert Reply:
For the 2015 Nissan Juke the only hitch class offered is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type such as # 24867 which fits the AWD model (as long as it is not the NISMO). This and the other Class I hitches for the other versions of the car appear on the linked page.
You can carry only 2 bikes on a Class I hitch. Even though there are bike carriers with more carrying capacity that will still fit this hitch, such as the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR (a 4-bike rack), carrying more than 2 bikes on a Class I hitch can induce stress on the hitch and the mounting points on the car's frame and so carrying more than 2 bikes is not recommended.
If you were going to do this anyway I strongly recommend using a lightweight aluminum carrier like the 3-bike Thule Helium Pro 3 # TH9043PRO (only 20-lbs) along with two of the Curt Support Strap # 18050 which will help support and steady the load from the rack and bike weight.
