Thanks for the information and photos of the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL on your 2018 Nissan Leaf!
The guide Saris has for installing that rack on your vehicle is to place the lower feet into the license plate well as opposed to on the bumper like what you have. Typically when we see this type of note it's because the bumper isn't strong enough to hold the weight of the rack and bikes.
As far as the middle straps go, it's usually best to try to get them as horizontal as you can... view full answer...
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11396 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Nissan Leaf. Due to the warranty of the hitch you will need to use a stabilization strap like # 18050 with any non-trailer load which includes a bike rack.
Also with a Class I hitch you will be limited to 1-1/4" Class I rated bike racks like # TH9042PRO because this hitch can only support 150lbs of tongue weight. The Helium is a great bike rack for your Leaf, because it is very light weight. You will also only... view full answer...
You need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 for your 2013 Nissan Leaf. The Receiver # 306-X7184 you found fit the 2011-2012 model years while the receivers appear very similar you can see the mounting bracket which bolts to the passenger side frame rail was changed for the 2013 through current 2024 model year.
I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56227 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is... view full answer...
We offer several Trunk Mount racks that will indeed fit your 2012 Nissan Leaf. If you click the provided link, you can see the best-selling choices available.
The Yakima HangOut, # Y02638 that you referenced will fit your Leaf, and is one of our best-sellers for your vehicle.
For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck,... view full answer...
I verified with EcoHitch that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7221 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 Nissan Leaf.
This hitch has a 300lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for carrying a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR, a cargo carrier, or a ball mount for light duty towing.

Reese no longer manufactures the Repair Kit RP7064100 for their Farm Jack # RP7060900. As these style jacks are very similar across manufacturers you can check with other manufacturers for possible replacement parts. view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 will absolutely fit your 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus.
The slightly larger battery pack on this car is still in the middle of the vehicle chassis and though that means the Plus sits a bit higher than the normal Leaf, it does not affect the way a trailer hitch installs to the vehicle frame as that is completely unchanged so you can install this hitch without issue. view full answer...
We actually do have a trailer hitch for your 2019 Nissan Leaf with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221! This trailer hitch comes with a 2" receiver and features a hidden crosstube (so only the receiver is visible) so that it looks really clean installed. I have attached a photo one of our customers sent in after they installed it on their 2019 Leaf for you to check out.
Then for wiring we have the Curt T-Connector # C56227 which gives you a 4-Way connector for basic... view full answer...
I have attached a great video below that demonstrates how to use a standard bolt leader to fishwire through vehicle frames.
I spoke with my contact at TorkLift regarding the EcoHitch # 306-X7221 for your 2019 Nissan Leaf and she said that the kit does not include an extra bolt to use if your model does not have the factory tow hook. This can indeed be obtained at a local hardware store like you mentioned. She also said that they are not aware of there being an issue with the included plate... view full answer...
I checked the fit guide for your 2015 Nissan Leaf and found only the two hitches that you are referring to. Generally speaking, the cost of hitches are higher as you request a larger size and higher load capacity due to the increased labor and materials cost to produce them.
The Curt # C11396 Class-I hitch that fits your Leaf has a 1.25" receiver, 150 pound cargo capacity, and 1500 pound towing capacity, whereas the EcoHitch # 306-X7221 has a 2" receiver with 300 pounds of cargo capacity,... view full answer...
The Yakima Fullback Truck Rack part # Y02634 does fit your 2019 Nissan Leaf but since you plan to carry a heavier e-bike this would not be the rack solution for you since it doesn't have the needed weight capacity. You'd need a hitch installed like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7221 you referenced so that you can carry a hitch mounted e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is designed specifically for your application. It has the needed weight capacity and also comes with... view full answer...
This hitch part # 306-X7221 is rated for 300 pounds of tongue weight. You can carry your bikes on the Allen rack as long as you stay under that 300 pound weight. I looked up the Leaf's capacitites but they aren't listed since it's not rated for towing but I talked to EcoHitch and they said this hitch can support your racks and bikes without a problem since you're only going to be carrying less than 100 pounds. view full answer...
All of our Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extenders swing away at 90 degree angle. I recommend the Yakima BackSwing part # Y02483 for your Kuat 2 Bike Rack because it is lighter and offers a higher rise shank then the other options. Any swing away extender cuts the tongue weight rating of the hitch on the Promaster Cargo Van in half because it creates an extra leverage point on the setup. The tongue weight includes the extender itself, the rack and the bikes. If you are using a cargo carrier the... view full answer...
Of the available racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2012 Nissan Leaf, I would recommend the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634. The rack features anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes placed upon it from swaying back and forth, preventing them from hitting each other or the rear of the vehicle. The rack is very ruggedly constructed and the surfaces that would contact your Leaf are very well padded. This rack is pretty easy to install as well.

To answer your questions in order:
1)Yes, you will be able to use the Kuat Transfer 3 with the 2" hitch receiver on the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch # 306-X7221 . The Transfer 3 is a great choice for carbon frame bikes because of the ratcheting wheel mounts that make zero contact with your bike frame.
2) The discrepancy on the tongue weight of the hitch is likely down to a weight capacity upgrade made by EcoHitch after the hitch was released-rarely are the instructions updated. I checked with... view full answer...
A weight distribution system is recommended anytime you tow a trailer that weighs more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle, but it will not allow you to take on more weight than the maximum capacity. They are also incompatible with 1-1/4 inch hitches.
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11396 is the only hitch we sell for your vehicle and is rated at 1500 pounds gross trailer weight and 150 pounds tongue weight. The combined weight of the trailer and contents cannot exceed 1500 pounds. You will... view full answer...

For the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL and Bones 3 # SA801BL, there is not a similar Fit Dial setting like the one on the Thule RaceWay Pro. The pivot points of the rack are simply for adjusting the angle of the rack instead of the tightness. For adjusting the tightness, that comes from the tightening the little black knobs and the cam buckles. I went ahead and attached a screenshot that shows an overview of the process from the instructional manual. view full answer...
I was able to speak to a SeaSucker representative and he informed me that the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards, part # 298-SK2425, would be able to accommodate cross country skis on first setting.
