Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2021 Nissan Murano for a Bike Rack
Question:
What hitch for my 2021 Murano? Too many choices and I don't know what to pick. Wanting to use it for a bike rack. I plan on using the bike rack a lot so any recommendations will be welcome!

I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98907 for your 2021 Nissan Murano because it has a matte black finish that helps it blend in with the trim on your Murano and helps to hide any scratches that might occur from road debris hitting it.
Then for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR for a few reasons. The first is that the swing-away feature means you can gain complete access to your rear hatch area without removing your bikes, the second is that this is a modular system so you can add the Top Shelf # Y94VR, move the bike rack to the Top Shelf, and then add other accessories like the following:
License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit - # Y74VR
Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier - # Y37VR
Yakima GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier - # Y44VR
