view full answer... - Will Weight Distribution and Sway Control Add Tongue Capacity on a 2008 Nissan Xterra
- For your 2008 Nissan Xterra, adding weight distribution, Reese Round Bar Strait-Line Hitch with Shank, # 66087, will help to alleviate your trailer sway problem but will only increase tongue weight capacity to 600 pounds. That should be just enough for your trailer. The Strait-Line system works well because it uses pro-active sway control that stops trailer sway before it starts. So the dual-cam system will out perform the friction bars by a great deal. This should take care of the sway...

- I have a solution for you, but I was able to determine from my research that the 2006 Nissan Xterra roof has a capacity of 150-lbs, so adding a kayak carrier and 2 kayaks that weigh 85-lbs each would put you over capacity of your roof. Your best solution for carrying kayaks of that length and weight would be using a kayak trailer like the Malone EcoLight # MAL43FR, which comes with extra wide kayak carriers that will fit a variety of different style boats.

- I'm sorry to hear about that, however I did go ahead and do some research and it actually appears that Thule does not currently have a set of crossbars that'll work with your Xterra, however I do have another solution that'll allow you to use the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898.
What you can do is use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 with the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX008 instead. These crossbars will be appropriately fitted for your vehicle and will allow you to also...

- Yes, the Curt RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver, # E-100 has a 2" square receiver opening and is ideal for hitch accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers. This is intended for use on 4" square channel bumpers, which is most likely what your new 2022 Jay Flight SLX7-174BH will be equipped with. This has a 350 lb. tongue weight rating.

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2004 Nissan Xterra
- The Curt wiring harness # C55244 is meant as a replacement for a 2003 Nissan Xterra that already has a factory 4-Way. If you just need to replace the factory 4-Way this is the harness that you would use and nothing else is required.
If the vehicle did not come with a factory 4-Way then you would need a different harness like # C59236 which is a hardwire powered converter. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
view full answer... - Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Xterra with Factory Crossbars
- If your crossbarshave a spread between 20" and 37" apart, the Thule Canyon # TH859Xt would be a good choice. Thule doesn't have specific vehicle fit info for this basket so you would have to measure first to be sure.
Or for a similar basket that has been confirmed as a fit we have the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 which is very similar. I attached a review video for you to check out for this as well.
view full answer... - Tire Chain Comparison for 2015 Nissan Xterra with 265/75-16 Tires
- You are smart to check your owner's manual because many passenger vehicles require low-profile Class S tire chains to avoid clearance issues within the wheel wells. If the auto maker says to use only Class S chains, then that's the final word. Nissan may also state that chains are only to be on one axle, so be sure to observe all of their guidance.
For your 265/75-16 tire size we do offer a range of Class S chains that you can see on the link provided. These include the cost-effective...
view full answer... - Dimensions of Timbren Silent Ride Suspension Single Axle Trailer #TSRTSR3500S04
- I checked with Timbren and the distance you are looking for is 11-7/16” from the center of the axle to the front of the bracket that attaches the kit to your frame. Timbren also told me to tell you that this dimension will only be exact if the trailer does not have a load on it. With more weight on the trailer the dimension will increase slightly. The crossmember will still clear the frame by 9/16 inch. I added a picture that shows the dimension you asked about as well as a few more.

- To carry 2 kayaks on the roof rack of your 2014 Nissan Xterra Pro 4x I recommend using the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073. The J-style carrier will adjust so you can carry 1 or 2 kayaks and has a minimum crossbar spread requirement of 24 inches. It is also made to fit Aero, most factory, round, square, and elliptical styles of crossbars.

view full answer... - Hitch That Has Rating As High As Factory Hitch 2005 Nissan Xterra
- The rating of aftermarket manufacturers could be lower than a factory option for a couple of reasons. This could be the size and design of the hitch to accommodate the frame of the vehicle, spare tire location, or factory mounting points. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # 13514 is a great option for an aftermarket hitch for the 2005 Nissan Xterra.
With use of Weight Distribution, the Curt hitch rating is increased to 600 pounds tongue weight, and 6,000 pounds for gross tow weight.

There is replacement hardware for this kit as part # AABRKT-9048.
view full answer... - How To Determine If You Need Weight Distribution Or Rear Suspension Enhancements
- I will say that although suspension enhancements are the best option to enhance/increase your suspension's effectiveness and wear life, if you are in any way looking to level the load of a trailer and/or reduce trailer sway, the best option would be to use a weight distribution. The use of a weight distribution system is recommended if your gross trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50% of your vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
In order to choose the correct weight distribution...

First, if your 2004 Nissan Xterra does not already have a trailer hitch you will need to add one. A popular option is Curt trailer hitch # 13183. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver.
