Expert Answers about Nissan Sentra


  • Why Is 2016 Nissan Sentra SR Model Not Compatible With Trailer Hitch Receiver?
  • Both the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24907 and the Curt # C11349 exclude the SR model. I reached out my contact at Curt and found out that the reason they are excluded is because of excess trim and an exhaust rattle. They don't have anything in the works for a compatible hitch. The modifications to make it work would include trimming portions of your fascia and doing some exhaust modification. If you are willing to do some customization, my contact said you can make...

  • What is Roof Rack Capacity for Extended Thule Canyon XT for 2017 Nissan Sentra
  • The weight capacity for the Thule roof rack part # TH859XT-8591XT that you referenced which is a fit for your 2017 Nissan Sentra 4-door is 150 lbs. With just this part number you'd have the a complete roof rack with the extension. You'll also want to check the roof capacity of your Sentra and be sure not to exceed that figure as well. Basically the lowest rated component of the setup is the overall capacity.

  • Transmission Coolers for 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0L with CV Transmission
  • The transmission coolers we offer for your 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0L are intended to supplement the cooling action of the OEM transmission cooler, but not to replace it. For example, we offer the Derale # D13503, which is a high-efficiency Class III cooler that measures 11 wide x 8-3/4 tall x 7/8-inches deep and which is shown in the linked installation video. This and other cooler options are shown on the link at right. You can install as large a cooler as you have space available for it;...

  • How to Carry Up to 3 Bikes on a 2010 Nissan Sentra
  • The Yakima DoubleDown bike rack will only fit Class II and Class III trailer hitches. All of the hitches for your 2010 Nissan Sentra are Class I hitches. I have included a link to the right that explains the differences in hitch Classes. Also, Class I trailer hitches are only rated for carrying up to 2 bikes. Since you already have a bike rack that works with your Subaru Forester, and because that rack will not work with the Sentra, you would need a hitch on the Sentra. However, you would...

  • Do Snow Chains Have A Speed Rating And How Do They Install On A 2009 Nissan Sentra
  • Snow chains are typically rated for speeds of 30 to 40 mph. The Thule CG9 Snow Tire Chains, # TH2004205080, is a top rated snow chain from Thule for your 2009 Nissan Sentra. It has the self-tensioning feature which allows easy installation and the chains will tighten and self-center on the tire as the vehicle is moving. Always consult your owner's manual for any limitations or restrictions on the use of tire chains.

  • 3-Bike Hitch-Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Sentra
  • Your 2013 Nissan Sentra can be equipped with a Class I hitch, and the link provided will show you all three brands and models that we offer. All have the same 1-1/4-inch receiver size and the same 200-lb tongue weight capacity. Unfortunately you will not be able to transport three bikes on any of these hitches. Class I hitch receivers are limited to carrying only 2 bicycles. This is due to the forces the loaded rack will impose on the hitch and the vehicle frame where the hitch attaches....

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation that Comes with a Shank with A Lot of Drop
  • You are right; it would be a lot easier to replace the whole weight distribution system rather than replace several parts on an existing system. On the Blue Ox SwayPro the reason the rise and drop measurements seem so far off from each other has to do with how it is measured. Rise or drop is measured from the top of the receiver opening to the top of the platform the ball sits on in the head. The design of the SwayPro head makes that platform fairly high which creates a higher rise measurement...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Motorcycle Trailer with 2017 Nissan Sentra
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt # 13555 is designed to fit on mid 2000s Honda CR-V's and not the 2017 Nissan Sentra, so you wouldn't be able to use that hitch. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # C11349 which is a confirmed fit on your vehicle. The Curt hitches tend to have a more durable powder coating on them to some of the other available hitches so it will hold up much better to rust and corrosion. In order to tow with your 2017 Nissan Sentra you will also need a wiring...

  • Recommended Base Plates And Flat-Towing Equipment For 2002 Nissan Sentra Se
  • The base plates I recommend for your Sentra Se are Roadmaster XL, part # 337-1. Once installed, the visible part of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing your Sentra. There are 5 items needed when flat-towing a vehicle. Base plates are one of those items. The other things you will need are a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and a supplemental brake system. For a tow bar I recommend part # RM-520. For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643. For tow...

  • Ball Mount Will Not Fit Into Draw-Tite Class I Hitch, # 24794, On Nissan Sentra
  • It sounds like the ball mount you have might be a Class II ball mount. The 1-1/4 inch size receivers come in two classes, Class I which is rated for 2,000 lbs. towing and 200 lb. tongue weight and Class II which is rated for 3,500 lbs. towing and 350 lbs. tongue weight. To keep a user from overloading a Class I hitch, Class II hitch accessories, such as ball mounts and several bike racks and cargo carriers, are designed to not fit. Manufacturers accomplish this by placing a stopper in...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Roof Rack For 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo With Long Spoiler
  • The best bike rack for spoilers is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top. Both the 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # HRF2-3 and the 2 Bike # HRF2 are a confirmed fit with your 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo with spoiler. To secure the rack to your trunk, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533. Then to secure your bikes to the rack, the Deadbolt 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891. With any hanging style rack, I recommend...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2014 Nissan Sentra
  • I am not certain what trailer hitch you have on your 2014 Nissan Sentra but the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100 you referenced will only fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. This is an issue because the only hitches available for a '14 Sentra are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. It is likely you actually have a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the Draw-Tite # 24907 and I strongly recommend making sure you know the exact hitch on your Sentra. For a Class I hitch you...

  • Possible To Tow U-Haul Cargo Trailer 4x8 Or 5x8 On 2013 Sentra SV?
  • Hi, For your 2013 Nissan Sentra SV I would use the Curt trailer hitch receiver custom fit # C11349 it does not require any drilling holes in the frame of your car. Just needs one hole made wider. You will also need a ball mount like the Curt Class II drawbar # C45521 and ball like the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 and a wire harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-pole flat trailer connector # C56205. The two hitches we do carry offer the same towing capability, you...

  • Will the Yakima Fullback 2 Fit a 2021 Nissan Sentra with a Factory Spoiler?
  • Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2021 Nissan Sentra with a factory spoiler. If you have a children's bike, women's style bike, or step through bike, I recommend an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. The adapter bar will give you a straight horizontal frame that is required to mount on the FullBack 2.

  • Will Saris Bones Truck Mount Rack Fit on 2013 Nissan Sentra with Flat Trunk
  • I checked with my contact at Saris and the Bones trunk mount bike is a fit for your 2013 Nissan Sentra with low profile spoiler. Take a look at the video of this bike rack installed on a 2014 Chevy Cruze and you can see how it is installed on a flat trunk. You will have no problem clearing the low profile spoiler. Since you will be carrying bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) I recommend using bike adapter bar # SA3040. This...

  • Lock Cylinders That Can be Keyed Alike
  • There are many different lock cylinders for many different applications and you did not mention what type of cylinder you are looking for. The Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs # 295-000004 can be keyed alike as can something like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000002. If you get back to me with the type of cylinder you need or the application you need it for I'd be happy to try and find the product that works for you.

  • Roof Rack, Basket, Bag and E-Bike Rack for 2018 Nissan Sentra
  • The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK369 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Nissan Sentra and is a really solid roof rack choice. The roof basket part # RRRMCB03 and cargo bag part # RRLB200 would then work well together. For carrying an e-bike on a roof you may find that's it's a bit difficult to get the heavier bike up that high so a hitch mounted bike rack solution like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 might be an easier solution. If...
