Expert Answers about Nissan Versa


  • How To Transport an Electric Wheelchair Scooter with a 2017 Nissan Versa
  • I do have an option for you but there are only class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options available for your 2017 Nissan Versa. That said, the Nissan Versa is most likely not capable of handling the tongue weight that your electric scooter and lift will have. Therefore, the only option you are going to have is to put the scooter on a trailer or find a different vehicle to carry it on. If you were to go with the trailer option then for this we have the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility...

  • Towing Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide w/ 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan
  • To tow a trailer capable of carrying your Harley, you'd need to install a hitch like the Curt # C11256 Class I receiver and a trailer wiring harness like part # C56400. The hitches recommended ball mount is part # 3592. The properly sized trailer ball is also sold separately. For a 2 inch diameter trailer ball, use part # 19258 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball, use part # 19256. Before attempting to tow with your vehicle, I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual to determine the towing capacity...

  • Recommended Way to Flat Tow 2012 Nissan Versa with CVT Transmission
  • If your owners manual says you cannot flat tow your vehicle with all four wheels down on the ground we can't recommend you do so as that would void the warranty of the vehicle and potentially damage it. I checked with Nissan and they recommend that your vehicle only be flat towed with a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 which keeps the front wheels off the ground. Tow dollies are nice as they really aren't that much more than a decent flat towing setup, don't have a...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Nissan Verso for Wheelchair Carrier
  • First you would need a hitch for your 2008 Nissan Versa. For that the Draw Tite hitch part # 24798 would be a great choice. This hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity so the weight of your mobility chair and carrier would need to have a combined weight that is less than that. Since your chair weighs 125 lbs you would have 75 lbs left for a carrier. Since you said you have an aluminum rack this shouldn't be an issue at all. You will also need to check the owners manual of your vehicle...

  • High Capacity 12 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire Recommendation
  • We have the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Split Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM22319HWT which has a 1,520 lb weight capacity. For a tire that will fit this rim and has the same weight capacity we have the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 which has a capacity of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 2016 Nissan Versa
  • A 2016 Nissan Versa is not intended to do any towing of any kind according to your owners manual. If you choose to do any additional carrying on your vehicle, it will need to be with a cargo carrier or a roof rack. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" Item # C11256 to get you started. For a cargo carrier I recommend the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # 52017 which is confirmed to fit with a Class I hitch. For your...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack that is Easy to Load for a 2012 Nissan Versa Hatchback
  • It will be easiest to mount your 2 bikes on a trunk mount bike rack that holds 3 bikes because there is more space. But as far as having to lift up the bikes to load them I would not say that any one trunk mount option is going to be easier than the others. This is because the arms on all of them will be at approximately the same height once mounted on your 2012 Nissan Versa hatchback. I recommend the Saris Bones bike rack, part # SA801BL, because it's light weight, durable, and holds...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Platform Bike Rack for 2012 Nissan Versa
  • For your 2012 Nissan Versa, the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV will allow you to carry 2 bikes with the alternative frames you mentioned and is confirmed to fit your vehicle. The Thule OutWay also comes with a lock for the rack to your vehicle and is rated for slightly heavier bikes with more adjustability. You don't need an adapter bar but I do recommend the Security Strap for Yakima Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02623.

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback
  • I have a solution that will allow you to carry 3 bikes on your 2011 Nissan Versa hatchback but not with a trailer hitch. It isn't the weight of the bikes and rack that is the issue with Class I hitches. It is the distance the third or more bikes would be from the hitch receiver. That distance puts a lot of leverage on the hitch receiver; like when a lug nut is easier to loosen the longer the handle is on the wrench. To carry 3 bikes on your Versa I recommend a trunk mount bike rack. I...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for Flat Towing 2017 Nissan Versa with Stowmaster Tow Bar
  • The EZ5 base plates cannot be used with a Stowmaster tow bar. The EZ4 kits like the part # RM-52357-4A can be used with your Stowmaster so it would be the kit to use on your 2017 Nissan Versa. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • Recommendation for a Locking Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for a 2010 Nissan Versa
  • For a complete Rhino-Rack roof rack system that locks for a 2010 Nissan Versa, you can use Rhino-Rack vortex Roof Rack, # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Clamps, # DK047. This set up comes with locks. I have included a link to an FAQ on roof racks.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • We have two cargo carriers that fit 1-1/4 inch hitches: The Reese # 63155 that weighs about 43 pounds and has inside dimensions of 47-7/8" long x 20" wide x 5-1/2" tall and the Curt # C18145 that weighs 29 pounds with Inside dimensions: 46-3/8" long x 17-9/16" wide x 5-1/2" deep. It doesn't look like the size of either of these carriers will meet your need. If you provide your vehicle information, we could explore a roof rack and cargo roof basket for you.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Nissan Versa w/ Rear Spoiler
  • According to Thule, their trunk mount bike racks would fit a 4 or 5 door Versa that's equipped with a spoiler, as long as it's a factory and not an aftermarket installed spoiler. The Thule Passage, part # TH910XT would be a fine choice. The rack has enough arch on it that it will completely span the rear edge of the deck lid and clear the spoiler just fine. Even though the rack is reasonably priced, it's still a high quality rack that's highly rated by our customers as you can see in the...

  • Best Supplemental Braking System to Use for Flat-Towing Multiple Vehicles
  • I have just what you need! For a correct braking system for flat-towing vehicles, you need a supplemental braking system instead of a brake controller. This is because brake controllers are not designed to work with flat-tow vehicles. With that being said, the best supplemental braking system to use with multiple vehicles is the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. With this system, you will be able to transfer it between vehicles for an...

  • Which Load Range Tires for Light Duty Utility Trailer w/ 1450 lb GVWR
  • Since the Load Range B rating of 1570 per axle and the Load Range C rating of 1980 lbs per axle are both above the GVWR of the trailer in question, no it doesn't really matter. However if it were me personally, I'd go with the Load Range C # AM30660 over the # AM30580 load range B. A little overkill never hurt anything, especially if the trailer should ever get accidentally overloaded. To learn more about trailer tires, click the provided link.

  • Can I Use My Thule Surfboard Pads with My Thule AirScreen XT Fairing?
  • While we do have a great solution for you if you are set on using your AirScreen XT Fairing # TH82WV on your crossbars, you cannot use the Thule surf pads at the same time as your fairing. This is because the pads require full unobstructed access to the bars. With that being said, since the spacing of the clamps on the fairing are about 11" apart, this is plenty of room to attach a saddle-mount carrier like the Thule DockGrip # TH895. The cradles lift the kayak above the bars, so you...

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Versa
  • Your 2015 Nissan Versa has only Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches available as a fit like the Curt # C11256 so you will need to use a Class I compatible bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z which is a very sturdy, stable and easy to use platform bike rack. I attached a review video for this rack on a similar Versa for you to check out as well.
