Front Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 2013 Nissan Frontier

Question:

Good afternoon, We bought a small camper and although it came with a back rack, we still will need to carry the bikes on the truck to the trailhead. I read a review for a Thule T2 Classic 2 bike platform rack #TH9045, and wondered if this would work without affecting visibility? Any insight you might have would be greatly appreciated.

The Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH9045 is compatible with front mounted hitches, so it will work on your 2013 Nissan Frontier. The visual aspect is wise to consider as it will change your sightlines. The rack will hold your bikes around 5 inches above the receiver. The nice part about bikes is how much visibility there is through frames and wheels, so although it will impact sightlines you will still be able to use a bike carrier.

I've attached a video that will show you features but also will give you an idea of the visibility in this case to the back of the vehicle. It will give you an idea of how well you will see through the bikes as a reference since we don't have a video with it mounted to the front of a vehicle.
