Expert Reply:
For carrying a bike rack with your 2017 Cadillac XT5 the best hitch is the Curt # C13285 which is made in the USA, has the best weight capacities, and installs easily.
For a bike rack then the Thule Apex Swing part # TH9027XT is the best option as it can swing out and away from the rear of the vehicle even with bikes loaded to give you the best rear cargo area access.
