Bike rack for 2006 Murano

Hey all,
I have a 2006 Nissan Murano SL and I was wondering if anyone can
recommend a good bike rack. I'd like something to carry 2-3 mountain
bikes if possible on the back (not the roof).
Thanks in advance,
Lisa Ashley Rafter

Anybody else find this just a touch ironic? ;-)

We have the Yakima King Pin 4. This is a hitch mount that swings down
and allegedly carries 4 bikes. Three is more practical. You can get
4, but you really need to pad a lot of rub points. They also make a 2
and 5 bike model.

We have a hatchback, so the downswing works best for us. Yakima also
has a model that swings out (away) for those with rear doors that swing
out.

The rack holds the bikes well, with no adjustments or after market
noodling to keep bikes, or bike holders from moving. The rack and
bikes are secure, w little wobbling, even with three bikes on them.
There are two independent pins that allow you to easily fold down the
cross bar and the main post independently. The rack comes with a lock
and key for the bolt that holds the rack in the trailer hitch. We
secure the bikes to the rack with cables and independent locks.

The rack is easy to get on and off the hitch. If you do not have a
hitch, you'll need to get one welded on, but that's a simple,
relatively inexpensive operation.

We love ours. Simple, practical, functional design.

I've got this unit with the basic 2-bike version. Made very well, and
nothing touches on your bike except the tires.

Second that one or the Thule version, but you'll need a hitch mount.

Can you fit the bikes inside?

There's probably a reciever hitch for that vehicle, it would be the best way
to go.

Wait a minute! Nobody told me that. I welded that sucker to my roof!
Works great, except when I forget the bikes are still up there and I
pull into the garage... oopsy.
