Generally you are not able to increase your tongue weight rating on your 2018 Nissan Rogue, you can reach out to your local Nissan Dealer to verify this for your specific model. They are the only ones that can tell you what your specific weight capacity is on your specific trim level with your factory installed options.

While the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13204 is rated for 525lbs of tongue weight and the owners manual of your Rogue shows a maximum trailer towing tongue weight of 110lbs for a base model vehicle, it does not specify a maximum cargo weight when using a bike rack or cargo carrier. It only states in the maximum cargo weight section of the manual to account for any tongue weight in your maximum cargo weight when loading to not exceed axle capacity or the vehicle weight rating.
