How to Carry Bikes With 2014 Nissan Juke NISMO

Question:

So is there any aftermarket trailer hitch for a 2014 Juke Nismo

Due to the difference in bumper style on the NISMO compared to the standard Juke, there are no trailer hitch receivers that fit a 2014 Nissan Juke NISMO. That said, there is still a way to carry bikes with this vehicle, which I bring up because that's the application most want a hitch for on a Juke.

To do so you can use a trunk-mounted bike rack, and a really good value is a rack from Thule, the Passage, which you can get to carry either two or three bikes:

- Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT

- Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack For 3 Bikes # TH911XT

Both will fit your Juke, and offers a good combination of quality and price point; Thule is known for their quality and the Passage offers that with strong anti-sway rubber cradles that ensure your bikes stay put and don't contact each other or your Juke.

The only thing to keep in mind with a trunk rack is that if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give the bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.
