Question:

I want to get a hitch put on my 2021 Jeep Cherokee so that I can use a 2 bike rack, what hitch is going to work best for this. I haven't purchased a bike rack yet because I wanted to make sure it would work with whatever hitch I ended up getting. Is there one hitch you recommend over another?

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e73ZR is going to be a great option for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee to carry a bike rack. This hitch is made in the USA, has a really nice matte black finish and has a weight capacity that is well equipped to handle carrying your bikes on a bike rack. It also has a nice bolt-on no drill installation and will work with both the Trailhawk model and non Trailhawk Models.

The bike rack I would recommend for you is the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83JV. This is a platform style bike rack that is made in the USA and is perfect for carrying e-bikes, fat bikes, and bikes with carbon frames or custom paint jobs. So it can handle just about any bike you may have. Another nice feature about this rack is that it allows you to expand it to a 4 bike rack using the 2 Bike Add-On for Thule T2 # TH9036XT if you ever decided you need to carry more than 2 bikes. Which is a nice feature so that you don't have to buy a whole new bike rack.
