Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 2005 Nissan Frontier
Question:
Im looking for a bike rack for 3 bikes that will work with this hitch. Also need to be sure that it will fit my 2005 Nissan Frontier crew cab. I orderd one from somewhere else that was guaranteed to work , it required drilling so I sent it back. I want something made to fit my vehicle, no drilling...

All of the hitches we offer for your 2005 Nissan Frontier, including Draw-Tite part # 75282 are no-drill installations.
Any of our bike racks made for a 2 inch hitch will fit just fine. We have a lot of options when it comes to 3 bike racks for 2 inch hitches. Below there is a link to all of our 3 bike, 2 inch hitch racks and they will all fit the Draw-Tite part # 75282. On the left hand side of the page, you will be able to narrow down your choices by selecting features you want, or by brand.
For a 3 bike rack that has lots of features at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63365. The Trailhead has nice features like anti-sway cradles and an anti-rattle hitch pin to keep the rack from wobbling around in the receiver tube.
For women's bikes with step through frames or bikes with sharply angled top tubes, an adapter bar like # 64005 might be needed. The adatper bar spans the distance between the seat post and handlebar gooseneck, providing a horizontal surface to the bikes can be carried so they're level. A locking hitch pin and cable lock combo is available as part # S64031.
