Recommendations for Carrying 2 Bikes with a 2013 Nissan Rogue
Question:
Hi. I have a Nissan Rogue 2013 AWD. Whats the best way to transport 2 adult bikes? Roof rack? Trailer? Cost? Where to get installed?

Since roof racks affect gas mileage and could potentially cause a problem if you forgot to remove the bike when pulling into a garage I think hitch mounted bike racks are the best all-around solution. Not to mention they allow for easier loading and unloading.
First lets start with a hitch if you do not have one. You would want the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75902. Any local garage would have no problem installing this. You might even be able to do it as well if you have access to basic tools.
The most popular bike rack we offer for carrying 2 bikes would be the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This is a great rack at a great price. Check out the review video I attached.
