Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2018 Nissan Altima
  • We have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24796 which is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Nissan Altima but we do not have any EcoHitch Stealth hitches or Stealth hitches at this time that fit your vehicle. This is a really solid hitch that would work well for you but it would be a bit more visible. I attached a review video for more info on it as well.

  • Is Saris Bones EX Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Easier to Install than Other Bike Racks
  • Due to how lightweight the Saris Bones EX # SA803 is and how easy to install I would confidently say that this rack would be easier to install on your 2020 Nissan Altima than what you have now. This rack only weighs 11 lbs. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • What 3-Bike Trunk Rack do You Recommend for My 2008 Nissan Altima Sedan with Spoiler?
  • For transporting 2 men's bikes and a woman's bike, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. The reason why is because it is very easy to make adjustments for sizing on your 2008 Nissan Altima (sedan with spoiler). Also, in addition to the 35-pound per-bike weight capacity, it comes with arms that are conveniently spaced 6-1/2 inches apart for easy loading. To add extra theft deterrence to the Bones EX 3, you need the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 and the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533. As...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Nissan Altima
  • It is not uncommon for a hitch to fit multiple vehicles. This is the case with Curt trailer hitch # C11352. It does indeed fit the Nissan Maxima and Altima sedan. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch I recommend going with the ball mount # C45521 and pin and clip # F-4. Then you would just need a ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter or # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter. For trailer wiring use # 118470. I've...

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Nissan Altima 4 Door

Everything needed for installation of this rack on your vehicle is included with these two part numbers. No drilling would be required to install this rack and it would be easily removable as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24796, installs under the vehicle on the frame so it will fit a 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan with or without a spoiler. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch. All of the trailer hitches for your car are Class I trailer hitches. This means you are limited to carrying 2 bikes on a bike rack compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. The platform style racks like the Swagman XC, # S64650, are very popular, and the XC is compatible with...

  • Will Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs Stop Sag and Bottoming Out on 2009 Nissan Altima w/20 Inch Rims
  • This is a little strange considering that a 215/60-16 tire is about 26.16 inches in diameter and a 245/35-20 is about 26.75 inches in diameter. That is a difference of only 0.59 inches which is in between 9/16 and 5/8 of an inch. Half of that extra height is applied to the upper have of the tire so only about 5/16 inches closer to the wheel well ceiling. I just assumed there was more space in the wheel well. Regardless of the wheel well space using the Firestone Coil-Rite springs # F4105...

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Nissan Altima With Factory Spoiler
  • Vehicles like your 2008 Nissan Altima with a trunk- or roof-level spoiler can pose a challenge to the fit of many otherwise excellent trunk-mount bike racks such as the Yakima King Joe 3 # Y02620 that you referenced. Fortunately there are specialty racks available that are designed specifically to deal with the vehicle feature. For a 2-bike capacity rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2, or for 3 bikes you can use # HRF2-3. I have linked a video to show...

  • What Type of Clip Holds Pin of Lippert Lead Landing Gear Leg
  • We do in the lead leg repair kit part # LC146059 which is the correct kit for the part # LG-177202 that you referenced. The clip is a standard e-clip that you can find locally at a hardware store as well. That might be the route you would be better off going with unless you wanted to have spare parts to rebuild the leg in the future.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • Since your 2011 Nissan Altima is a Sedan the Draw Tite hitch # 24796 would be a great choice for a hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. The most popular bike rack we carry that I think would be perfect for you since you don't plan on using it all the time but still want a quality rack would be the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack part # S64670. This rack is very popular with our customers and has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who currently own it. Check...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima
  • For your 2010 Nissan Altima the Q clips you referenced have all been discontinued by the manufacturer as they have updated their roof rack systems. To give you a roof rack for the naked roof, I recommend the Rola Rail Extreme DFE Series Roof Rack - Naked Roofs - 53" Long # R5001. This is a great option to give you an aero roof rack designed as a custom fit for your Altima. To better secure your roof rack, I recommend adding locks # 59316 as well.

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes with 2015 Nissan Altima
  • Class I hitches like the Draw Tite # 24796 that fits your 2015 Nissan Altima can only carry up to 2 bikes at a time as the additional weight and leverage is too much for the lower weight capacity hitch. So your best option would be a 2 bike rack like the Thule Camber part # TH9058 which fits the Class I hitches and we know works great on Altimas like yours. See attached review video. To carry 2 more bikes you'd need a roof rack like the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK381...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Altima 4 Door
  • You would first have to have a roof rack on your 2013 Nissan Altima to be able to carry kayaks. The roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK381 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I would then recommend a Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 for both of your kayaks as well. This is a J-style carrier that would fit the rack I recommended and would work well for both of your kayaks.

Then for a carrier that will fit that rack and carry the two surfboards the Thule SUP Shuttle part # TH811XT would be the best option. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
