When measuring for ball mount rise/drop needed you have to measure from the bottom lip of the coupler to the ground and not from the top like you mentioned. That means your trailer height is going to be more like 20 inches instead of 22 inches. That being said the closest ball mount we offer to what you need is going to be the part # C45028 which can do a rise of 5-3/8 inches. Then for a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C40018. view full answer...
For your 2005 Maxima one of the nicer roof racks I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack. This roof rack has aerodynamic aluminum crossbars that have rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel to help provide a quieter ride. This kit comes with the crossbars, legs with built-in locks that secure the roof rack to the roof of your vehicle, and custom clamps and pads to ensure a good fit for your Maxima. For this system you would need to order part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Magnaflow and the correct catalytic converter to replace the front one of your 2002 Nissan Maxima is the part # MF50877 that you referenced. view full answer...
I really wish I had a Thule trunk rack I could recommend, but as of right now (March 2016) they haven't tested their racks on the 2016 Maxima. Most likely their racks will fit the 2016 models since they fit the 2015 and both years are the same generation of bike rack.
Right now the only racks we have listed as fits are the Saris bike racks like the Bones part # SA805BL which is a great trunk rack. It is also at a great price too so even if the Thule racks were available it would be hard... view full answer...
For your 2016 Nissan Maxima the Curt hitch part # C11352 has been confirmed as a fit so it would work well for you.
Both the Swagman part # S44FR and the Swagman Semi 2.0 # S64686 would work well for you. The main difference between the two is that the Semi only touches the bikes at the tire whereas the G10 grabs the frame of the bike. Because of this I would recommend the Semi. A bike rack that doesn't contact the finish of a frame is especially great if you have a carbon framed bike.

For your 2000 Nissan Maxima I would recommend you get a 20x48 Cargo Carrier # 52017 as this cargo carrier is compatible with vehicles that have Class I hitches like what would be on your vehicle. This carrier would do well on your 4,000 mile road trip.
The Cargo Carrier # 63155 that you referenced might not work for you since it is designed for vehicles with Class II hitches and there are no Class II hitches available for your vehicle. It fits some Class I hitches but not all of them.... view full answer...
The Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 referenced in your question features a standard steel tubular lock. There is a notch on the lock that makes it more difficult to simply drill out and barrel locks are generally much harder to pick than standard flat key lock cores.
Manufacturers don't usually rate their locks with regards to how hard they are to pick because the honest truth is if a thief really wants something he will likely find a way to get it. The primary purpose of this... view full answer...
My best recommendation for a trunk-mount bike rack for your 2012 Nissan Maxima with factory spoiler is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 # HRF2-3 which is designed specifically for vehicles with a spoiler. Even if you're transporting only two bikes, the longer arms on the 3-bike version will allow for easier loading and more space between bikes.
Accessories you might consider include a bike adapter bar, like the # HRBA-PRO, which lets bikes without a top frame tube mount properly on... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your vehicle, Nissan doesn't recommend using tire chains on Maxima models equipped with 245/45-18 tires. If your vehicle uses that size, in order to use chains, Nissan recommends swapping your wheel/tire size to 225/55-17. If you swap to those size wheels/tires, I'd recommend the Konig # TH00023103.
Some vehicle manufacturers will endorse the usage of Class S rated chains when they're worried about clearance between the inside of the tires and braking/suspension... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the Thule Passage Bike Rack part # TH910XT that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2001 Nissan Maxima with a spoiler. This rack should work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out also.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached... view full answer...
It looks like you are going to be drilling no matter which hitch you use. The Curt hitch, # C11352, attaches more to the frame which is why it requires removal of the heat shields. The hitch itself will act as a heat shield to dissipate heat.
The Draw-Tite hitch # 24796 does mount to the sturdier part of the spare tire well which requires drilling (which will be pretty easy to drill through, unlike a solid frame) but retains the heat shields. I have linked videos showing installations... view full answer...
For your 2004 Nissan Maxima, let us start with a hitch. The hitch offered for your vehicle is the Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11264. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. It has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. I have included a link to the installation instructions below.
With this hitch installed you will be able to use the Thule T2, # TH23JV, that you are interested in. You could also use the # TH92BJ, or any rack that fits... view full answer...
At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use. Thule does not recommend the use of their racks at the back of... view full answer...
Recently Curt walked back the requirement for the stabilizer strap when using a bike rack with their hitches so the strap wouldn't have to be used when carrying the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH23JV that you referenced although it wouldn't be a terrible idea to still use it if you can find a way to.
In general platform bike racks like this carry the bikes higher than a hanging bike rack. Especially if a bike frame adapter bar like you mentioned is being used. This rack has several inches... view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Express, part # HRE3, is confirmed to fit your 2013 Nissan Maxima sedan but not with a spoiler like you have. Instead, I recommend the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
Item # MPG2139. It's specifically designed to work with a spoiler and is a fit for your Maxima.
If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat... view full answer...
The roof rack I recommend for your 2019 Nissan Maxima is the custom fit Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK133 because this rack gives you a set of aero shaped crossbars which will be super quiet, is easy to install, and because this rack is a higher quality rack that costs less than similar quality racks. I attached an install video for this rack as well as a picture of it installed for you to check out as well.
For a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima... view full answer...
The only hitch fits we can guarantee will work on your 1996 Nissan Maxima will be custom fit hitches like the Curt part # C11255. The universal types of hitches are designed to attach totally differently than how the rear of your vehicle is setup which is why they wouldn't work well.
I attached an installation instructions for this for you to check out. view full answer...
Since you have the single moonroof on your 2014 Nissan Maxima you can install the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK171 that you referenced. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks like this one as you get a higher quality roof rack at a price not quite as high as the Thule and Yakima racks. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11352 is an excellent option for a 2013 Nissan Maxima. It has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening with class I rating so it will work with any bike rack that has these features and there are plenty to choose from. The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is our most popular option as it offers premium features at a very reasonable price. It would work wonderfully with two mountain bikes. view full answer...
The Hidden Hitch # 60873 (no longer available) and the Draw-Tite # 24796 are identical. They are both manufactured by the same parent company, Cequent Performance Products. Their weight bearing capabilities and installation procedure are identical. For towing, you would also need a ball mount, trailer connector, part # 118470 and a 1-7/8 inch ( # 19256) or 2 inch ( # 19258) trailer ball.
According to my research, the 2009 Maxima has a rather modest 1000 lb towing/100 lb tongue weight capacity.... view full answer...
