Expert Answers about Nissan Juke


  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2013 Nissan Juke Hatchback
  • The Thule Passage 2, part # TH910XT is a confirmed fit and all around good choice for the 2013 Nissan Juke. I can't recommend opening the hatch while the rack is installed as the weight of the rack itself can cause the hatch to close unexpectedly and harm you or the vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke Front Wheel Drive
  • There is a trailer hitch designed for the front wheel drive models of the 2011 Nissan Juke. Take a look at the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11302. This hitch is listed as a fit for front wheel drive models only. I have included a link to the installation details for you. This is a Class I trailer hitch and with all non-trailer loads, like a bike rack, Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap, # 18050, to be in compliance with their warranty requirements. You will also be limited to carrying...

  • Recommended Hitch Expander Adapter for 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11088 is a Class I trailer hitch, so it will not match up with the MaxxTow # MT70355. You can instead use the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD or Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. Both of these are rated for use with Class I trailer hitches but you will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. So your hitch that was rated for 200 lbs will drop to 100 lbs and that is the max...

  • Recommendations for Locking My Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to My Car
  • I have an excellent solution for you. Thule offers the Thule Passive Lock Strap # TH533. This puck and strap security system will work for you because it will be secured by your 2011 Nissan Juke's rear hatch. To properly install this lock strap you will loop it around your trunk mounted rack and by placing the puck into the cargo area of your trunk and locking your vehicle the bike rack becomes locked to your vehicle. The Passive Lock is made with steel cables that are wrapped in nylon...

  • Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendation to Hold 60 lb eBikes on 2013 Nissan Juke
  • There is a way for you to carry a pair of 60 lb ebikes on your 2013 Nissan Juke, though there is not a 2 inch hitch available. Instead you can use the 1-1/4 inch Draw-Tite # 24867 if your Juke is AWD or 1-1/4 inch # 24892 if your Juke is FWD (please keep in mind there is no hitch available for the NISMO model of a '13 Nissan Juke). You would then be able to use the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA12B, which fits in a 1-1/4 inch hitch and has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike. The carrier weighs 49...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Juke FWD for Carrying Bikes and Cargo
  • I would recommend the Curt Class I receiver hitch, # C11135 for your 2012 Nissan Juke front wheel drive. The reason is that this is the only hitch we have at this time that is verified to fit the front wheel drive model Juke. All of the hitches available for the Nissan Juke are going to install in essentially the same location, and one would not be more visible than another. Many people like the look of a round cross tube at the rear of the vehicle better than a square cross tube, but...

  • Will Fat Bike Fit Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform Rack
  • If the tires on your fat bike are 4-1/2 inches wide or smaller, the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform Rack, part # KU24FR would be a great bike carrier with the Phat Bike Adapter, part # APBK. This carrier will hold bikes with a wheelbase up to 50 inches and a wheel diameter from 18 to 29 inches. The carrier can handle 3 bikes up to 40 lbs per bike and the carrier weighs 51 lbs.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 3 Bikes for a 2013 Nissan Juke
  • We have several 3-bike trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2013 Nissan Juke. I have included a link to all of the models that will fit your Juke. For a good entry-level carrier I recommend the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. This carrier has the features you'd expect from a quality bike carrier including ant-sway cradles and padded legs to help protect the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this carrier. For a bike carrier that will be the easiest to put on and take off of...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2013 Nissan Juke FWD
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you referenced, part # 24867 is indeed a fit for AWD Juke models only. For the front wheel drive model, you will need the Draw-Tite Class I receiver, part # 24892. I have spoken with my representative at Draw-Tite, who has confirmed the hitch as a fit for your Juke. Due to the lowered tongue weight capacity of a Class I hitch, if you are using a bike rack, you will want to be sure to use a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I hitch. I have linked you...

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch And A Trunk Bike Rack Available To Fit A 2011 Nissan Juke
  • If your 2011 Nissan Juke is an AWD model we do have a hitch available. It is the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, part # 24867, which has a 1-1/4 Inch Receiver. It has a towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. For the FWD models use # 24892. If you will be towing with this hitch you will want to check your owners manual or the Nissan dealer for the towing capacity of your 2011 Nissan Juke. To complete your towing setup, you will need the following...

  • Thule Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke with 215/55-17 Tires
  • A class S tire chain would have to have 37mm or less clearance above the tire tread and 15mm or less clearance from the sidewall of the tire. The Thule CB12 chains are only 12mm so they could be considered a class S chain and would be S.A.E. compliant. Since your 2011 Nissan Juke has 215/55-17 tires, you will need to use Thule Tire Chains, # TH01221100, which would be a proper fit for your tire size. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you to view. I have also...

  • Fit of Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24867 Around Exhaust of 2014 Nissan Juke
  • The Draw-Tite Class I # 24867 is a fit for all models of the 2014 Juke, except for the NISMO mode. The hitch attaches to the vehicle using weldnuts in the underside of the frame member, and the tow hook would need to be removed. The hitch is designed to allow as much exhaust clearance as possible. I've provided you a photo showing how the hitch will sit in relation to the exhaust pipe. I've also linked you to the installation instructions. You'll want to make sure you choose a bike rack...

  • Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Nissan Juke
  • On your 2015 Nissan Juke you'll need to remove the panels on both the driver's and passenger's side to install the # 118528 trailer wiring harness. To remove the panels you can use a flat head screw driver, or some other tool for prying, to release the tabs on the backside of the panels. I've linked a video on a different harness that installs the same way. Skip ahead to about the 50 second mark and you can see how the panels are removed.

  • Trailer Hitch & Wiring for 2017 Nissan Juke
  • We do show confirmed hitch fits for the 2017 Nissan Juke, for non-NISMO models. You can see all products on the linked page. We do have Curt options but I suggest the lower-price Draw-Tite. If you have the AWD model you can use Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24867; if you have the FWD model you can use the Draw-Tite # 24892. For both you can use ball mount # 3593, either 1-7/8-inch ball # 19256 or 2-inch ball # 19258, and 4-pole wiring harness # 118528. This is a powered converter harness.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for a Nissan Juke and Class I Hitch
  • The ThuleEnclosed Cargo Carrier you reference, part # TH665C, is meant to be used with a Class II hitch, which typically has a 3500 lb towing and 300 lb tongue weight capacity. Your Nissan Juke uses a Class I hitch, that you referenced which has a 2,000 lbs towing and 200 lbs tongue weight capacity. The hitch and the frame members where it attaches to the vehicle lack the strength to safely use that carrier. I recommend using a Class I compatible carrier like the Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier...

  • What Stabilizing Strap is used and Attachment to the Curt Hitch # C11088 on a 2011 Nissan Juke AWD
  • You will need to purchase the Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, item # 18050, or a similar strap, along with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item, # C11088, for your All Wheel Drive Juke. The plastic coated clip on one end of the strap installs in the lip of the rear hatch, and the other end is looped around the bike rack threaded through the cambuckle and tightened to alleviate the stress on the hitch from bouncing and torque applied to the hitch with bikes and bike rack installed. Any...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Nissan Juke Nismo
  • I have a bike rack solution for you, but when I spoke to our manufactures and they told me that the Nismo would not have a hitch fit because of the configuration of the frame and cross supports that are necessary for a performance automobile to achieve the needed strength to operate as designed. My number one recommendation for you to transport your bikes is with a roof mounted bike rack. To do this you will first need a roof rack system like the Thule Evo Clamp # TH145098, 47 inch SquareBars...

  • Methods to Avoid Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier from Damaging Paint Finish on Vehicle
  • Any trunk-mount bike carrier will rest on part of the vehicle, primarily the bumper cover which supports most of the loaded rack's weight. Most trunk racks install in a similar manner, also using 4 to 6 straps to grip the outside edges of the hatch, which help distribute the total weight across more surface area and stabilize the rack when you are in motion. Since the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL is among the lightest available racks it is a good choice for your 2014 Juke. The clips that grip...
