Question:

I have a Trek Navigator 2.0 bike and Id like to get a hitch mounted hanging bike rack if there is one made that would not require an adapter bar on the bike. I have a 2014 Toyota Highlander with a 2inch receiver. Does anyone make a hanging rack for hybrid bikes? Thanks,

The best way to carry your Trek Navigator 2.0 bike is going to be a platform bike rack that grabs the bike at the frame. Since you have fenders you couldn't use a tire mount, and since you don't want to use an adapter bar you wouldn't be able to use a hanging rack. Not only is your top tube angled which would mean an adapter would be recommended, but the brake lines that run under your bike frame tube would also interfere.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
