Expert Answers about Nissan Sentra


  • Why Is 2016 Nissan Sentra SR Model Not Compatible With Trailer Hitch Receiver?
  • Both the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24907 and the Curt # C11349 exclude the SR model. I reached out my contact at Curt and found out that the reason they are excluded is because of excess trim and an exhaust rattle. They don't have anything in the works for a compatible hitch. The modifications to make it work would include trimming portions of your fascia and doing some exhaust modification. If you are willing to do some customization, my contact said you can make...

  • Transmission Coolers for 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0L with CV Transmission
  • The transmission coolers we offer for your 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0L are intended to supplement the cooling action of the OEM transmission cooler, but not to replace it. For example, we offer the Derale # D13503, which is a high-efficiency Class III cooler that measures 11 wide x 8-3/4 tall x 7/8-inches deep and which is shown in the linked installation video. This and other cooler options are shown on the link at right. You can install as large a cooler as you have space available for it;...

  • Do Snow Chains Have A Speed Rating And How Do They Install On A 2009 Nissan Sentra
  • Snow chains are typically rated for speeds of 30 to 40 mph. The Thule CG9 Snow Tire Chains, # TH2004205080, is a top rated snow chain from Thule for your 2009 Nissan Sentra. It has the self-tensioning feature which allows easy installation and the chains will tighten and self-center on the tire as the vehicle is moving. Always consult your owner's manual for any limitations or restrictions on the use of tire chains.

  • Ball Mount Will Not Fit Into Draw-Tite Class I Hitch, # 24794, On Nissan Sentra
  • It sounds like the ball mount you have might be a Class II ball mount. The 1-1/4 inch size receivers come in two classes, Class I which is rated for 2,000 lbs. towing and 200 lb. tongue weight and Class II which is rated for 3,500 lbs. towing and 350 lbs. tongue weight. To keep a user from overloading a Class I hitch, Class II hitch accessories, such as ball mounts and several bike racks and cargo carriers, are designed to not fit. Manufacturers accomplish this by placing a stopper in...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2014 Nissan Sentra
  • I am not certain what trailer hitch you have on your 2014 Nissan Sentra but the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100 you referenced will only fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. This is an issue because the only hitches available for a '14 Sentra are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. It is likely you actually have a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the Draw-Tite # 24907 and I strongly recommend making sure you know the exact hitch on your Sentra. For a Class I hitch you...

  • Will the Yakima Fullback 2 Fit a 2021 Nissan Sentra with a Factory Spoiler?
  • Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2021 Nissan Sentra with a factory spoiler. If you have a children's bike, women's style bike, or step through bike, I recommend an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. The adapter bar will give you a straight horizontal frame that is required to mount on the FullBack 2.

  • Will Saris Bones Truck Mount Rack Fit on 2013 Nissan Sentra with Flat Trunk
  • I checked with my contact at Saris and the Bones trunk mount bike is a fit for your 2013 Nissan Sentra with low profile spoiler. Take a look at the video of this bike rack installed on a 2014 Chevy Cruze and you can see how it is installed on a flat trunk. You will have no problem clearing the low profile spoiler. Since you will be carrying bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) I recommend using bike adapter bar # SA3040. This...

  • Lock Cylinders That Can be Keyed Alike
  • There are many different lock cylinders for many different applications and you did not mention what type of cylinder you are looking for. The Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs # 295-000004 can be keyed alike as can something like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000002. If you get back to me with the type of cylinder you need or the application you need it for I'd be happy to try and find the product that works for you.

  • MORryde Cushioned Pin Box Replacement For Lippert Rhino Pin Box 18k - 21k
  • We sure do! What you are needing is the MORryde cushioned pin box replacement for the Lippert Rhino, and the part number RPB77-FD-06 is for 18,000 lb to 21,000 lb trailers. The pin box you are looking for is the following: - MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box for 18K to 21K Trailers w/ Lippert Rhino # MR55QR The # MR55QR is a really nice choice because its rubber spring is going to absorb shock and dampen vibration, which will help give you a much smoother, quieter ride while you tow.

  • Can a Thule 4-Bike Carrier Fit a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Nissan Sentra
  • On your 2014 Nissan Sentra, you can use a Thule bike rack that fits 1-1/4 inch hitches such as # 24907 but you will be limited to 2 bikes, even if the rack can hold more. The issue is that all of the trailer hitches for your Sentra are Class I hitches. Bike rack and hitch manufacturers agree that on a Class I hitch you are limited to 2 bikes. To carry up to 3 bikes you can use a trunk mount rack. I have included a link to the right to all of the 3-bike trunk mount racks listed as a fit...

  • Wiring a 2007 Nissan Sentra
  • You will need the T-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, part # 118470, to wire your 2007 Nissan Sentra for towing. The harness has a modulite built in that draws power for the trailer tail lights and protects the sensitive circuitry on the vehicle. The wire and inline fuse are included for connection to the vehicle battery. You could also use the # C59496 for your vehicle. The only difference is that you will have to splice into the vehicle wiring for installation rather...

  • Can Draw-Tite # 24750 for 2003 Nissan Sentra be Used on 2000 Honda Accord
  • The Draw-Tite Class I Receiver Hitch, part # 24750 is only compatible with 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra models. It is unfortunately not compatible with a 2000 Honda Accord. These hitches are custom designed for a specific vehicle model year or range of model years. You can find links to the installation instructions for each hitch below.

  • Will Draw Bar 36065 fit a 2012 Nisssan Sentra
  • There is a drawbar with 5" of rise that will work for you, but Draw-Tite # 36065 is for use with Class II hitches only, and is not compatible with your Class I hitch, # 24794. Instead, you could use the Curt # C45024, a Class I draw bar which also gives you 5" of rise and will have no problems clearing your bumper with a length of 9-9/16". For a hitch pin you would want # F-4, and the hitch ball you want would either be 1-7/8" ball # C40001 or 2" ball # C40018.

  • Can I Flat Tow a 2019 Nissan Sentra NISMO with Manual Transmission?
  • I have a solution for you to tow your 2019 Nissan Sentra NISMO, but I spoke with my contacts at both Roadmaster and Blue Ox and neither one offers a base plate for the 2019 Nissan Sentra NISMO. They gave me 2 reasons for this, but their primary reasoning was the turbo on the NISMO trim package gets in the way and keeps base plates from being mounted on the front of the vehicle; the secondary reason is the front grill/trim doesn't provide good mounting spots. The best option for towing...

  • Trailer Hitch That Fits 2013 Nissan Sentra SV
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11349 is absolutely compatible and will fit your 2013 Nissan Sentra SV. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and is a complete bolt-on installation, which is great for your car because it does not require any drilling to install. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118582. The correct ball mount for this trailer hitch is the Curt # C45521 which requires Pin...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2006 Nissan Sentra with Spoiler
  • The Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3 should not be used on vehicles with spoilers like on your 2006 Nissan Sentra but the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT, should not have any problems fitting over the spoiler on your vehicle. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance....

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2021 Nissan Sentra SV
  • I checked with Draw-Tite and they show the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT48MR as a fit for a 2021 Nissan Sentra SV. It will work great with any bike rack that has a 1-1/4" shank like the Thule Bike Rack part # TH934XTR which is what I recommend if you don't already have one.

  • Will the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24794 Fit a 2018 Nissan Sentra
  • We do have a trailer hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Nissan Sentra but the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24794 only fits Nissan Sentra models from 2007-2012. For your 2018 you need the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24907 instead. You will also need wiring # 118582, a draw bar like part # 3593, and a hitch ball like 1-7/8" part # 19256 or 2" part # 19258. Be sure to follow any instructions in your owner's manual regarding towing with your vehicle.
