• Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder That Has Discrete Appearance
• We offer two brands of 2-inch hitches for your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, and one of these, the class III Curt # C13309, is designed with a concealed cross tube that lets the vehicle keep more of its stock appearance. The included photo shows you the Curt hitch installed. The other hitch, class IV Draw-Tite # 76031, offers slightly easier installation but it will be more visible once installed. For a clean and discrete appearance the USA-made Curt hitch wins. The written instructions and...

• Comparison of Class III Hitches Available for 2020 Nissan Rogue
• All three hitches are compatible with your vehicle. If the install procedure and how the hitches fit on the vehicle are compared, the etrailer # e98846, Draw-Tite # 75902 and Curt # C13204 are for the most part identical. The Curt and the Draw-Tite # 75902 feature a shiny powder coat finish while the etrailer model has a matte, non-shiny finish. Purely a matter of personal preference. The Curt and etrailer models have the same 3500 lb towing/525 lb tongue weight capacity while the Draw-Tite...

• Difference Between Dexter 008-430-05 and 8-430-5UC3
• The Dexter # 8-430-5UC3 and 008-430-05 are the same hub and drum assembly. They use the same bearings and seals, the same oil cap kit, have the same capacity, and fit axles manufactured after 2009. The only difference between the part numbers is that the # 8-430-5UC3 is the full kit that comes with everything. The bearings, races, oil seal, and oil cap kit are all included. The 008-430-05 does not include these, or in some cases comes with only the bearings and races.

• Yes. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31241 is a confirmed fit on your 2009 Nissan Frontier and will give you a 2" receiver to carry a bike rack on the front of your truck.

• Comparing the eTrailer Hitch E98869 and the Curt Hitch 13241 for a 2018 Nissan Frontier
• The eTrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98869 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13241 which are both a fit for your 2018 Nissan Frontier have the same shape/design/capacity but are not exactly the same. The difference between them is in regards to their finish. The eTrailer hitch has more of a matte finish whereas the Curt trailer hitch has more of a gloss finish. They both have the same durability. I have attached an install video for you as well as a few photos.

• Differences Between the TH9001 Raceway and the TH9001PRO Raceway for a 2011 Nissan Murano
• The Thule Raceway 2 Bike Racks part number # TH9001 and # TH9001PRO, and the # TH9001PRO are all discontinued model. These have been updated to the newest version which is the OutWay # TH45JV. It has several upgrades from the previous generation so it would be the best rack for you to use. The # TH45JV is lighter at only 13 pounds. They have upgraded the cradling system with road dampening technology, as well as an improved spooling mechanism and has changed to only 2 cables. The...

• Comparing Curt and etrailer.com Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
• Curt actually makes the etrailer.com hitches like the part # e98908 that you referenced which is why it's basically identical to the Curt # C13309 that fits your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. It is a somewhat new hitch line we started offering but not brand new. This means that the install video for the Curt (attached to this page) would cover the install of the # e98908 as well. The hands free liftgate of your Pathfinder will still work but you just would have to kick your foot to either side...

• Comparison of Grades of MagnaFlow Catalytic Converters for a 2005 Nissan Quest
• According to MagnaFlow, the # MF50809 is the standard grade converter, while the # MF49296 is the OEM grade converter. The OEM Grade converters are specially formulated with a heavier wash coat and loaded with twice the amount of precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) to provide a much stronger coverage and a Ceramic that's engineered for maximum airflow. MagnaFlow recommends going with the OEM Grade on high mileage vehicles, or vehicles that have a history of throwing check engine...

• Comparing the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty and Elite Trailer Brake Controllers
• The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller part # RED24FR and Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR are both great options. The main difference between them is the proportional and user controller model on the Elite whereas the Liberty just has the proportional mode. If you do off-road towing then you'll want the user controller mode so in which case I'd recommend the Elite. If not then either will suite you well. The only issue we have experienced with the Liberty...

• Curt Trailer Hitch For 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport For Bike Rack
• Good question, though the construction of the Curt hitch for your 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport won't affect its ability to carry your bike racks and four bikes. the Curt # C13377 hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs, which is well over the 200 lbs or so you mentioned so they are designed to handle well over double the amount of weight of your bikes and bike rack. We have two hitches that install exactly the same, and have the same amount of ground clearance and bumper clearance, so...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2005 Nissan Altima
• I'd recommend the Curt hitch # C11264. This hitch is the only hitch available for your Altima but it does require drilling for installation. If you plan to do any towing, you will need a ball mount and a hitch ball. Depending on the rise or drop of the level height of what you will be towing, you would pick a ball mount. This small a hitch doesn't allow for an adjustable mount, so you'll have to make sure it fits a 1-1/4 receiver when you choose one. For a hitch ball, you will want...

• Comparing Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2014 Nissan Murano
• The trailer wiring harness options for a 2014 Nissan Murano all pretty much do the same thing and will work well for you. That said, I do prefer the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118653 as the converter box is designed a bit better. It's smaller so easier to mount, has a tab for screw attachment which helps with longevity, and the potting which holds the wires on the board inside is much more durable. In summary, we have better experience with the T-One compared to the T-Connector...

• Comparing and Contrasting Hidden Hitch and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2008 Nissan Versa
• Both the Draw-Tite, # 24798, and the Curt Hitch, # 11348, are Class I hitches rated at 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. They both have 1-1/4 inch receivers and install in the same way. I have included links to the installation details for each below. The Curt Hitch does require the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for use with any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier to be in compliance with their warranty requirements.

We did have a chance...

• Best Roof Bike Rack for 2015 Nissan Murano for Carbon Fiber Bikes
• I suggest the Yakima HighRoad, part # Y02114 for your 2015 Nissan Murano. The wheel mount is much easier to load than the fork mount and will definitely be compatible with your road bikes. To connect the High Roller to your factory Nissan crossbars you will need MightyMounts # Y03590 as well. If you're interested in securing your bikes to the rack you may be interested in the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores # Y07202. I've attached a video review of the lock cores for you to take...

• Differences Between etrailer & Curt Trailer Hitches For 2023 Nissan Titan
• There is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Nissan Titan, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Titan are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e34KR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13304 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better...

• Comparing Thule and Rhino-Rack Roof Racks for a 2011 Nissan Maxima
• In terms of protecting the vehicle finish, both the Rhino-Rack and Thule systems install by using specially designed clips to fit the vehicle and the towers rest on pads. As long as the bottoms of the pads and the vehicle roof are clean when installing, you should not have a problem with the finish on the vehicle. Both systems also will be about the same in terms of installing and removing. You will have to do some careful measuring when you first install the systems. After that removing...

• Comparing the Tuson DirecLink Base and Lite Brake Controllers DL-100 and DL-50
• The Tuson DirecLink Base Model Trailer Brake Controller part # 335DL-100 and Tuson DirecLink Lite Trailer Brake Controller part # 335DL-50 are both excellent options The best option for you will be dependent on where you will be doing most of your driving. If you find yourself frequently traveling though town in stop and go traffic then the former which has the low speed brake adjustment feature would be a really good option but not necessarily required. If you are driving in stop and go...

• What is the Difference Between the Redarc Tow Pro Elite V2 and v3
• The # RED44FR is the 331-EBRH-ACCV3, which is the 3rd version of the Redarc Tow Pro Elite controller that was originally only available in Australia; the # 331-EBRH-ACCV2 is the 2nd version and has been phased out. They're really mostly the same controller and there aren't any functional changes made between the two aside from the smaller knob on the V3 # RED44FR. I've linked a video review of this controller for you to check out, but even though one is newer the updates were mostly cosmetic.

• Yakima RigeBack vs. BackRoad 4-Bike Rack
• For me there is one clear choice between the two bike racks you asked about, and for one very particular reason - convenience. Due to how convenient it is, I definitely recommend the RidgeBack, which is the following part number: - Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike Rack # Y02458 There are a lot of similarities between the two racks, but the one thing that makes the RidgeBack # Y02458 the better option is how much easier it is to install in your hitch. The RidgeBack uses a knob, called a "SpeedKnob"...
