Curt Receiver Hitch for 2021 Rogue SL and Compatibility with Yakima Bike Rack

Question

Question:

Good Morning, Purchased a 2021 Nissan Rogue SL and considering adding Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4 Item # C57HR to allow using my Yakama Hold Up 1 1/4” Bike Rack. I have looked at the hitch fit tips document. Can you confirm I will not have any issues with this combination interference hitting vehicle with rack rotated in the up position? Thank you

Yes, I can help you to confirm a hitch receiver that does fit your 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. However, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C57HR does not fit the 2021 Rogue Sport. That hitch receiver fits the standard 2021 Nissan Rogue. You will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" item # C13377. This hitch has a 2" receiver we do not offer a 1 1/4" receiver for your year and model Nissan so you will need an adapter. I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer item # HT02. This will take your Curt receiver from a 2" to 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # Y02445, you referenced and included a picture of, has a maximum capacity of 60 lbs per bike and will be well within the acceptable range of your Curt receivers item # C13377 tongue weight.

The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # Y02445 has a distance from the center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack of 12" when folded down and 7" when folded up. You will have no clearance issues with your rack in the folded position. I have linked a picture of the hitch installed on a 2020 version of a Nissan Rogue Sport.
