Recommended Hitch for 2015 Nissan Rogue

Question

Question:

Need a recommended hitch for 2015 Nissan Rogue to fit a full swing Yakima bike rack. It looks like I have about 6 in from pin hole on the bike rack to when the rack curves upward at approx 45 degree angle. Thanks

The Draw-Tite Class III trailer hitch you referenced, part # 75902 would be a good choice. When we installed it on a 2015 Rogue, we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the back bumper was 5-3/4 inches. Since your bike rack has a 6 inch distance between the hitch pin hole and the curved portion of the shank, and likely a greater distance between the hitch pin hole and the closest portion of the bike rack, the rack should work just fine with that hitch.

One thing concerned me about the photo you provided. Are you sure you have a FullSwing? The FullSwing we offer has a straight, and not an angled shank., hence my confusion. My hitch recommendation above assumes that the bike rack you have has a 2 inch by 2 inch shank.
