  • Best Suspension Enhancement for a 2018 Nissan Frontier with Factory Ride Quality
  • In regards to suspension enhancements for a 2018 Nissan Frontier, you have a few options but there are none from SuperSprings. The best option for unloaded ride quality would be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2558. However, if you don't want the maintenance upkeep of the airbags then the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORTUN4L are a great second best option. They can engage if you go over a big bump but aside from this they will retain a mostly factory...

  • Comparing the Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • The Tow Ready Wiring Harness, # 118263, is designed to fit your 2006 Nissan Frontier as long as it has the factory tow package. On the other hand, Hopkins lists the # 33525, as a fit for all models of the 2006 Nissan Frontier. From what we have found, though, if the vehicle does not have the tow package, you will still need a relay available from the dealer in order to allow it to function. If your Frontier does not have the tow package, I recommend using the Curt Harness, # C56225, which...

  • Differences Between Available Class III Trailer Hitches for 2021 Nissan Rogue
  • We offer the Draw-Tite # DT85MR, the etrailer brand # e93ZR and the Curt # C24HR Class III hitches, all of which will fit your 2021 Nissan Rogue. All three hitches have identical towing/tongue weight capacities of 3500/525 lbs. The Curt and the etrailer brand are nearly identical, with the only difference between the two is the finish, the etrailer brand hitch has a matte finish while the Curt hitch finish is glossy. Given the choice between the three, I'd personally choose the Draw-Tite...

  • Differences Between Hitches Available for 2010 Nissan Xterra
  • There is very little difference between the hitches listed for your Xterra. Draw-Tite has a 3500 lb towing 350 lb tongue weight capacity. The Curt hitch, part # 13514 has a 4000 lb towing 400 lb tongue weight capacity and is very similar in appearance to the other hitch. The installation procedure for the hitches is identical. The hitches would be partially visible from the rear. The side flanges where the hitch bolts to the vehicle frame would be hidden, with the receiver opening and...

  • Best Roof Bike Rack for 2015 Nissan Murano for Carbon Fiber Bikes
  • I suggest the Yakima HighRoad, part # Y02114 for your 2015 Nissan Murano. The wheel mount is much easier to load than the fork mount and will definitely be compatible with your road bikes. To connect the High Roller to your factory Nissan crossbars you will need MightyMounts # Y03590 as well. If you're interested in securing your bikes to the rack you may be interested in the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores # Y07202. I've attached a video review of the lock cores for you to take...

  • What is the Difference Between 9x4-1/2 and 9x5-1/2 Wheels
  • First off, the 9 must represent the wheel diameter, which is an odd size. So if 9 is the diameter that would make 4-1/2 and 5-1/2 the width. The diameter is not the actual overall diameter of the wheel, it is the diameter of where the tire sits on the wheel. And the width is not the overall width, it is the interior width where the tire sits, from bead seat to bead seat. I have linked a video to the right as an example. In it our tire and wheel expert explains the measurements. I can't...

  • Comparing the Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for a 2019 Subaru Ascent
  • There are a few different options for the 2019 Subaru Ascent, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13400 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76253 are what I recommend choosing between. The main difference is aesthetics and install difficulty. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is easy to install as all you have to do is pretty much just raise it in place and insert the bolts but this then means you will see more of the hitch while installed (see photo 1). The Draw-Tite...

  • Comparing and Contrasting Hidden Hitch and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2008 Nissan Versa
  • Both the Draw-Tite, # 24798, and the Curt Hitch, # 11348, are Class I hitches rated at 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. They both have 1-1/4 inch receivers and install in the same way. I have included links to the installation details for each below. The Curt Hitch does require the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for use with any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier to be in compliance with their warranty requirements. The...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2005 Nissan Altima
  • I'd recommend the Curt hitch # C11264. This hitch is the only hitch available for your Altima but it does require drilling for installation. If you plan to do any towing, you will need a ball mount and a hitch ball. Depending on the rise or drop of the level height of what you will be towing, you would pick a ball mount. This small a hitch doesn't allow for an adjustable mount, so you'll have to make sure it fits a 1-1/4 receiver when you choose one. For a hitch ball, you will want...

  • Comparing Thule and Rhino-Rack Roof Racks for a 2011 Nissan Maxima
  • In terms of protecting the vehicle finish, both the Rhino-Rack and Thule systems install by using specially designed clips to fit the vehicle and the towers rest on pads. As long as the bottoms of the pads and the vehicle roof are clean when installing, you should not have a problem with the finish on the vehicle. Both systems also will be about the same in terms of installing and removing. You will have to do some careful measuring when you first install the systems. After that removing...

  • Truxedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau Cover Compared to the Vanish Roll Up for a 2010 Nissan Frontier
  • The biggest advantage the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX592301 has over the Vanish Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # 834532007950 is that it automatically keeps the correct amount of tension in the cover using spring loaded tensioners. The # 834532007950 requires manual adjustments that would not be too difficult or time consuming but it would be one more thing to keep track of on your 2010 Nissan Frontier. Other than that the two will function and store very similarly. I attached...

  • Information About Used Thule TH9058
  • Regarding the used Thule # TH9058 two-bike rack, I wanted to let you know that "used" means it was assembled and found to not be what our previous customer needed so they returned it. All the original parts will be present and it will arrive in a box, but not necessarily the original box. This rack was made in the USA and has the full manufacturers warranty, which is this case is a Limited Life Time Warranty. For this rack the following condition notes are provided: Surface Scratches....

  • Difference In Hidden Hitch # 60284 And Draw-Tite Hitch # 24867 For A 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD
  • For your 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD the Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 60284 (no longer available) and the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24867, are the same hitch. The difference is the # 60284 comes with the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3593, and a pin and clip. Neither one of these hitches will fit the 2011 Nissan Juke FWD model. 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...

  • Differences Between Prodigy P2 and P3 Brake Controllers
  • The biggest differences between the Prodigy P2 brake controller, # 90885, and the P3 brake controller, # 90195, are the display, buttons and look of the controllers. I like the buttons and display on the P3 controller because the display uses actual words for setup and troubleshooting rather than display codes like the P2 uses. This makes it easier to know you are adjusting the correct function or see the trouble shooting codes without referring back to the installation manual. I added...

  • Yakima RigeBack vs. BackRoad 4-Bike Rack
  • For me there is one clear choice between the two bike racks you asked about, and for one very particular reason - convenience. Due to how convenient it is, I definitely recommend the RidgeBack, which is the following part number: - Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike Rack # Y02458 There are a lot of similarities between the two racks, but the one thing that makes the RidgeBack # Y02458 the better option is how much easier it is to install in your hitch. The RidgeBack uses a knob, called a "SpeedKnob"...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • The Curt # C11352 and Draw-Tite # 24796 trailer hitches are very much the same in terms of install. The only difference is the overall cost of the hitches and the fact that the Curt will require the use of stabilizing straps in order to maintain the warranty. So if you are looking for the less expensive hitch that won't require straps I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 24796 for your Altima sedan. This is a Class I hitch and will require you to use a compatible bike rack. I am not...

  • What Are The Differences Between The Curt C11396 and C49VV Trailer Hitch Receivers?
  • It appears the Curt Receivers # C11396 & # C49VV are the same but utilize different hardware for mounting. I reached out to Curt who verified the CAD drawings for both receivers looked identical with similar measurements. I do recommend holding your current Receiver # C11396 up on your 2018 Nissan Leaf to verify all the hitch holes do line up. If everything is good you can order the Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK for the Receiver # C49VV.

  • Difference Between Dexter 008-430-05 and 8-430-5UC3
  • The Dexter # 8-430-5UC3 and 008-430-05 are the same hub and drum assembly. They use the same bearings and seals, the same oil cap kit, have the same capacity, and fit axles manufactured after 2009. The only difference between the part numbers is that the # 8-430-5UC3 is the full kit that comes with everything. The bearings, races, oil seal, and oil cap kit are all included. The 008-430-05 does not include these, or in some cases comes with only the bearings and races.
