Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • How to Carry 300 lb Motorcycle with 2007 Nissan Altima
  • The only hitch we offer for your 2007 Altima is a Class I hitch, which has a 2000 lb towing/ 200 lb tongue weight (the maximum amount of weight that can be suspended from the hitch) capacity. Using an adapter would lower the tongue weight capacity by half. It's a matter of the structure of the vehicle where the hitch attaches not being strong enough. Attempting to carry that kind of tongue weight would most likely result in the fasteners tearing out of the vehicle and the loss of the hitch...

  • Is Saris Bones EX Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Easier to Install than Other Bike Racks
  • Due to how lightweight the Saris Bones EX # SA803 is and how easy to install I would confidently say that this rack would be easier to install on your 2020 Nissan Altima than what you have now. This rack only weighs 11 lbs. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • Yakima Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • Yakima does have a round bar roof rack for your 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan. It uses the part numbers # Y00408, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06137, and # Y06127. Since you have bars already you would not need the part # Y00408. Since most likely what you have is the older Q-Tower style rack the bars would be the only thing that you could reuse. This rack uses the BaseLine style of feet which is their current style. Your Sunroof would not be an issue at all.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima
  • For your 2010 Nissan Altima the Q clips you referenced have all been discontinued by the manufacturer as they have updated their roof rack systems. To give you a roof rack for the naked roof, I recommend the Rola Rail Extreme DFE Series Roof Rack - Naked Roofs - 53" Long # R5001. This is a great option to give you an aero roof rack designed as a custom fit for your Altima. To better secure your roof rack, I recommend adding locks # 59316 as well.

  • 2013 Nissan Altima 4 Door Sedan Hitch Recommendation
  • The Draw Tite Hitch part # 24796 would be an excellent choice as a hitch for your 2013 Nissan Altima. There will be a little bit of drilling required, but the heat shield will not need to be removed. Check out the install video I attached for this hitch. To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the following: Ball mount # 3594 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 2 inch ball # 19258 Trailer Wiring Harness part # 118470

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2002 Nissan Altima with Spoiler
  • To use a trunk mount bike rack that can be positioned around the spoiler on your 2002 Nissan Altima you will want to look at models that have legs and arms that move independently from each other. The legs are what make contact with the vehicle and the arms are what holds the bikes. Even though the Expediton # HRF6-2 is a confirmed fit for your Altima, the arms are integrated into the upper legs so you won't have the adjustability needed to ensure that it goes over the spoiler and can...

  • Inno Roof Rack Recommendation for 2010 Nissan Altima
  • The experience you described with the Sportrack is not uncommon and is why I never recommend them, for your 2010 Nissan Altima I would recommend the Inno Square bar roof rack part numbers # INB117, # INSUT, and # INK116 which we know fits really well and would not interfere in any way with your doors.

  • Roof Rack and Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Recommendations for 2015 Nissan Altima
  • The Rhino Rack 2500 Series roof rack would indeed be a fit for your 2015 Nissan Altima. The rack would consist of the following component parts: # RRVA126B-2 # RRRLKVA # DK381 For a roof mounted cargo basket, the Yakima # Y07138 OffGrid would be a great choice. The basket is economically priced, but is rugged and highly rated by our customers. The basket also includes a fairing, which will help quiet the wind noise caused by the basket.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 2010 Nissan Altima With 1-1/4 Trailer Receiver
  • The Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier # FHG77ZR that you mentioned requires a 2" hitch receiver opening. The only receivers available for your 2010 Nissan Altima are 1-1/4", such as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796. In order to use the Flint Hill Goods carrier you will need to use Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # HTAD; this will convert your 1-1/4" receiver to 2". Keep in mind that this adapter will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if you are using the...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Rack fit a 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • Yes, I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Express part # HRE3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe. It will carry 1, 2, or 3 bikes up to 35 pounds each. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product...

  • Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Altima
  • If your 2012 Nissan Altima is a 4-door model you will want to use the # DK168 Clamp kit and if you have a 2 door model you would want to use the # DK169 Clamp kit. So we we are both right and wrong depending on which vehicle you have! To complete the roof rack you would want the Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver bars, and foot pack # RRRLKVA.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Nissan Altima
  • There are two trailer hitch options for a 2005 Nissan Altima, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11264 and the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24788. These two options are virtually the same so it really comes down to preference but I recommend the Curt hitch since it is assembled in the USA. They both offer bolt-on installation.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Nissan Altima
  • First let's start with a roof rack for your 2014 Nissan Altima. For that you would want the Rhino Rack part # RR46QR. This rack has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Nissan Altima, check out the review video I attached for more info. Then for a kayak carrier to carry both your kayaks you would want the Thule Stacker part # TH830. This carrier can carry up to 4 kayaks and would work well for you. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

  • Solution For Transporting A Kayak On The Roof Of A 2012 Nissan Altima
  • I recommend installing an aero-style roof rack which are typically preferred since they are built to cut through the wind and are much quieter than other style roof racks. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 would be a nice option that is also affordable. You'll also need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK168 to install these crossbars. This system installs very simply onto your roof by clamping onto the door jams. It is not a permanent system and it can be installed or removed...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2014 Nissan Altima
  • I would be happy to recommend a trailer hitch receiver and vehicle wiring harness for your 2014 Nissan Altima. Starting with the trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24796 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. Moving on to the wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118470 which will plug in to your factory wiring and will...

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Nissan Altima With Factory Spoiler
  • Vehicles like your 2008 Nissan Altima with a trunk- or roof-level spoiler can pose a challenge to the fit of many otherwise excellent trunk-mount bike racks such as the Yakima King Joe 3 # Y02620 that you referenced. Fortunately there are specialty racks available that are designed specifically to deal with the vehicle feature. For a 2-bike capacity rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2, or for 3 bikes you can use # HRF2-3. I have linked a video to show...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • We do not currently(2/2023) have a hitch for your 2010 Nissan Altima coupe. The Draw Tite hitch part # 24879 only fits for the Sedan model of the Nissan Altima. We do have another way for you to carry bikes on your 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe. You could use a trunk bike rack like the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. Check out the attached video to see how the Saris works.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2006 Nissan Altima
  • For smaller vehicles like your 2006 Nissan Altima there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available. Your best option would be a new bike rack that fits this size as well as a 2 inch if you have a vehicle with a 2 inch hitch as well. For a hitch for the Altima you would want the Draw Tite part # 24788 which is a confirmed fit and unlike the Curt hitches it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Compatible with 2007 Nissan Altima with Rear Spoiler
  • The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH45JV will be able to fit on your 2007 Nissan Altima with a rear spoiler. The FitDial allows you to position it to give you the clearance you need for your spoiler and then you will cinch the tie-down straps to secure it in that location. I've attached a video of this on a 2016 Nissan Altima with a spoiler to help you with the visual. This is a great option for you as it has the integrated locks to secure your bikes and...

  • Trailer Receiver Bike Carrier to Use in Place of Discontinued Yakima StickUp
  • The Yakima StickUp bike rack has actually been discontinued. For a similar rack take a look at the Thule Doubletrack, # TH92BJ. You could remove the second set of cradles from the rack if you wanted to. But removing them is not necessary. The rack is made of steel an automotive grade plastics. It weighs about 32 pounds. It can be used in Class I, II, and III hitches with 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch receivers. It has a capacity of 35 pounds per bike.
