Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • What is the Difference Between the Primus IQ Brake Controller and the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
  • There are quite a few differences. The ones you can see easily on the outside are the display and control buttons. The P2, part # 90885, uses a rotary lever on the underside for a manual over ride where as the Primus uses the older slide design that some people have problems with the slide sticking depending on how they grip and operate the slide. The P2 has several buttons on the face for adjusting settings and navigating through the menus. The Primus IQ uses a dial and one button to...

  • Curt T-Connector and Tow Ready T-One Comparison for a 2014 Nissan Altima
  • For your 2014 Nissan Altima, the wiring harness I would choose is the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # 56022, because it is rated to handle a higher amperage draw than the Tow Ready harness. For the brake lights and turn signal circuit the Curt T-Connector can handle 3 amps per circuit and for the tail lights it can handle 6 amps per circuit. The Tow Ready T-One can only handle 2.1 amps for the brake lights and turn signal circuits and 5.6 amps for the tail light circuit. The higher...

  • Light Output of Optronics LED Utility Light # BUL78CB Versus Standard # 1156 Bulb
  • The light output delivered by the Optronics # BUL78CB would be considerably greater than that of a single 1156 single filament bulb. A single 1156 would put out about 32 Candela, while the Optronics # BUL78CB puts out 125 Candela. If you were considering using the # BUL78CB as a back-up lamp, keep in mind that it does not meet DOT specifications as a back-up lamp. This will not present a problem unless your trailer is used commercially. If you need to meet DOT specs, use a lamp like #...

  • Difference In Installation Of Trailer Hitch On 2011 Nissan Altima Sedan And Coupe
  • The installation for hitches on the 2011 Altima has quite a lot of difference between the sedan and the coupe models. I will use the Draw-Tite trailer hitches for an example. For the Sedan, the hitch I recommend is part # 24796. When installing this hitch you have to place the hitch against the bottom of the vehicle and center punch the mounting hole positions. Then you drill through the bottom of the trunk. On the hitch that is used for the Coupe model, part # 24801, the hitch just...
