Carrying 4 Bikes On 2011 Nissan Juke Options

Expert Reply:

After doing some research I found that your 2011 Nissan Juke is rated for Class l hitches only. With Class l hitches you are limited to bike carriers that will hold 2 bikes maximum.

You will want to check your owners manual or with the dealership to see if your vehicle weight carrying capacity will allow you to put a hitch and a 2-bike carrier on the rear of the vehicle and then possibly a roof rack with a 2 bike carrier on the roof.

The hitches we offer for your Juke depend on the transmission. If you have AWD then the hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24867. If you have FWD, the hitch I recommend is part # 24892.

The hitch-mounted bike carrier I recommend for your Juke is the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. This carrier has a tilting mast that allows easy access to your rear cargo area, and has a weight capacity of 70 lbs.

If you are carrying bikes with alternative frames like women's bikes or kids bikes, I recommend the Yakima Adapter Bar, part # Y02531. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and provides a way to carry the bikes more level in the carrier while providing more ground clearance.

The roof rack I recommend is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. The aluminum aerodynamic crossbars are extremely quiet and with the T-slot design lets you attach many T-slotted accessories. To order this system you will need to order # TH480R and # THKIT1619, in addition to the crossbars, either part # TH711200 or # TH711220.

Once again, you will want to check your manual or dealership to find out what the roof weight capacity is for your Juke.
