Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5S
  • For your 2006 Nissan Altima we have trailer hitches available that will allow you to tow a small trailer. The Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11264 will be a great option that is confirmed as a fit. Since this is a Class I hitch you have to use the recommended ball mount part # 3592. For a 2 inch ball you would want the part # 19258 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256. For trailer wiring you will want the # C59496 which I attached an install video that shows the harness being installed on a...

  • Best Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2022 Nissan Altima
  • We do have a hitch available for your 2022 Nissan Altima. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796 is confirmed to fit all models of the 2022 Nissan Altima. This hitch will require some drilling for installation but it will then provide you with a Class 1, 1-1/4" hitch receiver. This will allow you to use a bike rack on your Altima. You will just need to be sure the bike rack you choose is a Class 1 rated bike rack, which will have a 1-1/4" shank. I have included a recommendation...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2014 Nissan Altima
  • I would be happy to recommend a trailer hitch receiver and vehicle wiring harness for your 2014 Nissan Altima. Starting with the trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24796 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. Moving on to the wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118470 which will plug in to your factory wiring and will...

  • What Is The Weight Of Curt Hitch Mounted Cargo Carriers # C18110 and # C18145
  • The tongue weight for any vehicle would take into account the weight of any hitch mounted carrier added to the weight of any cargo placed in or on the carrier. Both the cargo carriers, part # C18110 and part # C18145 weigh 30-lbs, so you just need to decide which style carrier best suits your needs. The # C18110 has an inside measurement of 47-11/16 inches long x 19-1/2 inches wide, and 2-3/4 inch side rail height. This carrier has an angled shank with a 3-3/4 inch rise, and would help...

  • Trailer Hitch and 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Adapter for a 2016 Nissan Altima
  • For the 2016 Nissan Altima there are only Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers such as # 24796 (which I recommend over the Curt hitch because Curt requires a stabilization strap # 18050 when using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier and Draw-Tite does not). In order to use a 2 inch accessory with a Class I hitch you will need adapter # HTAD which is compatible with a Class I hitch. Keep in mind that the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch...

  • Roof Rack And Cargo Carrier Recommendation For 2014 Nissan Altima 4-Door
  • The Yakima Roof Rack System Is a good fit for your 2014 Nissan Altima 4 door. The weight capacity for the roof rack is 100 lbs. That would include the weight of any cargo box you choose added to the weight of any cargo you place in the carrier. The front crossbar is placed 15-1/8 inches from the windshield. The crossbar spread is 24 inches. You need the following parts for the roof rack: 48 inch RoundBars # Y00408 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR RoundBar Adapter # Y03536 BaseClips # Y06137 and...

  • Recommended Hitch Cargo Carrier for Class I Hitch on 2013 Nissan Altima
  • Yes. You can use something like the 20 X 47 Reese Carrier # 63155, which is compatible with 1-1/4" hitches. This carrier weighs around 44-lbs so it would allow you to carry roughly 156-lbs of cargo on the back of your 2013 Nissan Altima, but I do recommend confirming the tongue weight capacity in your owner's manual to be sure it is 200-lbs. While I think your best choice is above, you could also look at the other 2 compatible carriers, the # C18145 and the # C18110. These are both made...

  • 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...

  • Can Trailer Hitch Installed on 2013 Nissan Altima Handle Mobility Scooter + Carrier Weighing 300 lbs
  • A Nissan Altima is compatible with a Class I hitch, which has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The 300 lb chair and lift you mention would seriously overload the hitch, which would damage the hitch and result in the loss of the carrier and the power chair during transport, which would be bad. Your best bet would be to use a different tow vehicle, one that's capable of using a Class III hitch that has a tongue weight capacity of at least 350 lbs. A small trailer like part #...

  • Will a Swagman Threaded Hitch Pin and Cable Lock Fit a Saris Bike Rack
  • If the Saris bike rack does have a threaded hitch pin hole, then only a Saris threaded hitch pin will fit. Each company makes their threaded parts unique so only their parts are compatible with each other. If the Saris rack does not have a threaded hitch pin, you could most likely use the Hollywood Racks 2" Hitch Lock and 8' Cable Lock for Bike Racks # HRLHPC2 for the non-threaded pin and cable lock. If you just want a cable lock, you can use # e98891. For a 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2011 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • We do have a fit for your 2011 Nissan Altima sedan; I checked with the manufacturer and can confirm that the correct fit is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11352. I have added a photo a customer sent in of this hitch installed on his Altima with a double exhaust as well so you can see how it will look on yours. If you plan on doing some light towing with your Altima you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118470, Curt Drawbar # C45521, Pin and Clip # F-4, and 1-7/8" Hitch...

  • 2 Inch Adapter Recommendation for Draw-Tite Receiver # 24796
  • For your vehicle and the hitch you referenced, I recommend the 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD. It will convert any 1-1/4 inch Class I or II receiver to a 2 inch receiver and has enough length for use with the brands you mentioned. A word of caution; using this adapter will cut your gross tongue weight capacity in half and this adapter cannot be used for towing or for using a snow plow. I have provided a video review of this product. I do want to point out that using an...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • As far as quality, all of the hitches for the 2013 Nissan Altima sedan are on par with each other. The Draw-Tite hitches (# 24796) undergoes additional voluntary testing procedures that other hitches do not. But both hitches, including Curt hitch # 11352, are built to meet or exceed required industry strength standards. The main difference is that the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. Curt requires...

  • Removing the Mufflers on a 2011 Nissan Altima for Trailer Hitch Installation
  • When installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24796 on a 2011 Nissan Altima, you will still need to temporarily remove that portion of the exhaust as indicated in the instructions. With the band clamp instead of a flange, you will just re-install the same parts that came with the clamp when you removed it. No sealant or gasket will be required. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for you. In the video, the 2010 Altima actually...

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • Actually the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 that you referenced can fit 1-1/4 inch hitches like what you have so it would work well for you. It can fit both Class I and Class II hitches so it should work well. Check out the review video I attached for this carrier as well.

  • Best Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima and Weight Capacity
  • The weight capacity of the Thule roof rack for your 2010 Nissan Altima 4-door that consists of part numbers # TH480R, # TH711200, and # THKIT1580 is 165 lbs. This is one of the nicest roof racks around so I would recommend it for you. I attached an install video as well. To determine what Nissan says is your roof capacity you will need to check the owners manual. It will be listed there. It is important to go with whichever is the lower figure of the two as the overall capacity.

  • Solution for New Bike Rack that Seems Stuck in New Trailer Hitch
  • I had something similar happen with a cargo carrier recently. I installed it in the hitch and noticed it was difficult to slide in, but once it was in there it was not wanting to come out. I was able to fit myself between the rack and the vehicle and push hard while wiggling it back and forth and it came out. My next idea if that didn't work was attach a strap to the hitch of a different vehicle and have the other vehicle pull it out. Once I got it out I took a grinder and removed the powdercoat...

  • Recommended Wiring for a 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • I would advise against splicing into the vehicle wiring on your 2010 Nissan Altima. Like you mentioned regarding the issue with your 2007 Accord, by splicing, especially on newer vehicles, you run the risk of causing problems with the vehicle computer system, which could control everything from tire pressure sensors to something as crucial as the ignition. The best route will be to use the custom-fit wiring # 118470, as it pulls power directly from the vehicle battery instead of from...

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2001 Nissan Altima and a Kona Ute
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount, # TH910XT, will fit your 2001 Nissan Altima. I have included a video review below. I had to do a little research on the Kona Ute. According to what I found, the Ute is an alternative frame, cargo bike. The bike will fit on the rack but you will need to add the Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar for Hitch Bike Racks, # TH982XT. One end of the adapter clamps just below the seat, the other end clamps the bottom of the handle bars and it provides...
