Expert Answers about Nissan Quest


  • Can a 2012 Nissan Quest Tow 2017 154BH Jay Flight SLX
  • I looked up the weight of the 2017 154BH Jay Flight SLX and found it to be at 3,200 lbs when loaded to it's max. We have a Draw Tite hitch part # 75714 that is rated for 3,500 lbs total trailer weight so in that regard it would be fine. This hitch is not rated for weight distribution so that is not an option. I also looked up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it is also 3,500 lbs so you should be fine to tow the trailer. For trailer wiring you then would want the # 118547. Since...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch to Accommodate Wheel Chair Lift on a 2014 Nissan Quest
  • According to your Owner's Manual for your 2014 Nissan Quest, your vehicle is rated for a maximum tongue load of 350 lbs, so your vehicle in this case will limit the load because it is not rated as high as the hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch, # 75714, for your 2014 Nissan Quest. This hitch receiver will have a 525 lb tongue weight rating, which will allow you to have extra cargo behind the rear axle as well. With the other hitch receivers...

  • Can Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Be Run Through 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • The power for an electric over hydraulic actuator will need to pull power from an on-board battery. It should not pull power from the tow vehicle's battery via the trailer connector. That said, the trailer connector will need to have multiple pins to transfer the brake output signal and battery charge line. Therefore, you'll need a 7-way like the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. If you don't have a 7-way on the trailer I recommend the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Quest Towing Pop Up Camper
  • Actually since you are looking for something to provide you with additional support for towing a trailer you would actually want to use a weight distribution system instead of suspension enhancement. Suspension enhancement is better used on vehicles that will be hauling a lot of weight in the bed or cargo area of the vehicle and not for towing. A weight distribution system will actually distribute some of the tongue weight at the back of the hitch to the front axle of the tow vehicle. The...

  • Recommended New Trailer Weight and WD System Setup for a 2012 Nissan Quest
  • Let's start off by talking about the correct trailer weight for you to pull with your 2012 Nissan Quest. There are a few different factors that come into play when picking out a trailer that your tow vehicle can haul; the weight capacity of the tow vehicle, and the weight capacity of the trailer hitch receiver that is installed. For example; the weight capacity of your Quest is 3,500 lbs. If you were to install the Curt Class III # C13078 you would be able to use the 300 lbs Tongue Weight...

  • Trunk Mounted and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Nissan Quest
  • The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH911XT, is designed to work on the back of your 2009 Nissan Quest, and has a weight capacity of 105 lbs. Most adult bikes weigh no more that 35 lbs each as long as they are not downhill bikes or beach cruisers, and most child bikes weigh around 20 pounds. This leaves 15 lbs left over with 2 adult bikes and 1 child bike. A hitch and hitch bike rack is more convenient than a trunk mount style and will ease access to the rear of the vehicle when...

  • Hitch for Transporting Wheelchair Lift and Wheelchair on 2015 Nissan Quest
  • To transport a wheelchair lift (and wheelchair) on your 2015 Nissan Quest you will need a 2-inch Class III type trailer hitch. A class III hitch will have the capacity needed for the typical combined weight of the carrier and the chair itself. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch # 75714 for its 525-lb tongue weight capacity. An installation video is linked. You'll want to check your Quest owner's manual to confirm the car's own tongue weight rating, which could be more or less than the hitch's....

  • Recommended Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2012 Nissan Quest for Towing PWCs
  • The Draw-Tite Class III receiver you mentioned, part # 75714 would be an excellent choice for towing a PWC with your 2012 Nissan Quest. My research indicates that the towing capacity of your Quest is most likely 3500 lbs, which is plenty of capacity for towing a PWC. I would recommend you confirm the towing capacity by consulting your owners manual or by contacting Nissan. To complete your towing system, you will also need the following: Trailer wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector,...

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the hitch. For a 5-bike hitch bike rack the Thule Apex 5 Bike Rack, part # TH9026XT, is an excellent bike rack for your Nissan Quest.

  • S Rated Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Quest That Has P225-60R17 Tires
  • Yes, the Thule Snow Chains part # TH01221104 that you referenced is Class S compatible so it would work well on your 2005 Nissan Quest that has P225-60R17 tires. I recently had the chance to install a set of chains just like these and was surprised at how much easier they were to install than I figured they would be. I attached a review video for these chains for you to check out as well.

  • More Reliable Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Nissan Quest
  • Sounds like the harness is getting overdrawn by your trailer wiring which is shorting it out and causing it to fail and then also causing the lights on the vehicle to stay on. Does the trailer have a lot of lights on it? We don't have the best luck with Curt trailer wiring kits so I would recommend the Hopkins kit # HM11143674 instead for your 2016 Nissan Quest.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And 4-Bike Carrier For 2015 Nissan Quest
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Quest is the Draw-Tite Max Frame, part # 75714. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. This trailer hitch when installed on a 2015 Quest has a distance of 4-inches form the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper which is important when considering any accessory for the hitch. The bike carrier I recommend for you is the Yakima FullSwing, part # Y02465. The nice thing about this carrier is that...

  • Would the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Nissan Quest with 2 inch Hitch
  • Yes, the Kuat Transfer bike rack part # KU24FR would fit and work well on a 2 inch hitch like the # C13563 installed on your 2008 Nissan Quest minivan. You still might take one measurement to be absolutely certain. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. As long as that distance is less than 6 inches this rack would fit and clear. From the install pics I have seen of this hitch on your vehicle there should be no problem,...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Electric E-Bikes
  • The only bike racks we carry that can handle the weight of a 57 lb e-bike would be a hitch mounted option. Like you have noticed, the trunk mounted bike racks have lower capacities. The reason for this is that if you put too much weight on a trunk rack you would most likely damage the rear of a vehicle. So the only recommendation I can make starts with you getting a hitch. For that you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13563. Then for a platform bike rack specifically designed to work...

  • Recommendation for Tire Chains with Adequate Clearance for a 2014 Nissan Quest with 225/65-16 Tires
  • Yes, I am confident that once you have the Titan chains # TC1547 installed on your 2014 Nissan Quest with 225/65-16 tires there will be adequate clearance between the outer edge of the wheel and the tire chains. On the off chance that there isn't right out of the box the chains do offer a little bit of adjustability. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you.

  • Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2009 Nissan Quest with Raised Side Rails
  • I checked with Thule and for your 2009 Nissan Quest that has rails that run front to back the older 400XT feet would not be a fit since that's a naked roof rack fit. Instead they recommend the part # TH7502-TH7502 that will wrap around the raised rails.

  • Recommendation For Axle, Hub, and Brake Assembly For 2008 Jayco 1207
  • Based on your information, it sounds like you want an entire kit including a new axle. We have several options available so we would need to confirm your 2008 Jayco 1207 axle weight rating and bolt pattern. This will be stamped on the axle or there will be a label. From my research, it looks like your Jayco probably has a standard 3,500-lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern that has a hub-face-to-hub-face length of 89 inches. If this sounds like a match then the Dexter Trailer Axle...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2012 Nissan Quest to Carry 5-Bike Rack
  • Yes, a Class II hitch like the Curt part # C12061 that you mentioned can carry a 5-bike rack since it's stronger than a Class I hitch. We have the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Rack part # TH9026XT that would work well with this hitch too as it was designed for fitting a Class II hitch. The best hitch option for your 2012 Nissan Quest though is the Draw Tite part # 75714 though. This is a 2 inch hitch which means it's significantly stronger by design but also because this rack does not require...
