Question:

Do you have a trunk bike rack that won't touch the spoiler on my 2019 Nissan Rogue? My wife and I need to transport our bikes but we want to avoid damaging our brand new vehicle.

Since you have a spoiler on your 2019 Nissan Rogue the only trunk mount bike racks come from SeaSucker and use vacuum cups to mount on your vehicle. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and the racks actually hold really well to the vehicle, but to some people this can be a bit scary. The best thing I can say about them is that each of the vacuum cups has a pull strength rating of 120 lbs (way more than the weight of any bike) and since they are a much smaller design they are easier to store than other bike racks. I have attached a link to our selection that you can check out.

If you are more concerned about the bike rack touching your vehicle then I recommend installing the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98846 to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. This trailer hitch is designed so that only receiver is available so it gives you a clean look and it provides you with a 2" receiver so that your bike rack doesn't touch your new Rogue.

Then for a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G because it only weighs 32 lbs but can carry up to two 40 lb bikes. It comes with both bike and rack locks and can accommodate any bike that doesn't have a front fender.

I have attached some review videos for the bike racks and an installation video on the trailer hitch for you to check out.
