  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Nissan Leaf
  • According to Thule, none of their trunk mounted bike racks are a fit for your 2012 Nissan Leaf, as the glass hatch does not make a suitable attachment point for the upper hooks of their racks, including the OutWay # TH45JV bike rack you've asked about. Yakima offers the Fullback 2 bike rack, part # Y02634 that uses special glass hatch attachments that would allow the rack to be used on your vehicle.

  • Towing Small Heavy Trailer with a Nissan Leaf and Class I Hitch
  • 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.

  • Can You Carry Four Bikes On a 2016 Nissan Leaf With Class 1 Hitch
  • I do have an option for you but the maximum number of bikes that can be carried on any class 1 hitch is two. The reason that you cannot carry more than two bikes has to do more with the leverage that the additional two bikes place on the trailer hitch more so than the weight. Therefore, if you want to be able to carry more than two bikes you will need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7221 which is the only option for this. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver...
