Expert Answers about Nissan Armada


  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2012 Nissan Armada Without Factory Tow Package
  • The most popular 2-inch Class III hitch for your 2012 Armada is the Curt # 13188; this is also the most cost-effective hitch offered. Along with this hitch (or your existing one if you already have one) you can use the Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2012 Armada by Nissan, part # N40975 that you referenced. This includes the relays required to activate the tow package wiring. I have linked you to an installation video for this kit in an Armada.

  • Towing Mirror For 2015 Nissan Armada
  • There is not a slip-on or bolt-on towing mirror for your Armada, but you can use the CIPA # 7070-2 Universal Towing Mirrors which will give you a greatly improved field of vision. You could also use the CIPA # 11953-2 model that you referred to if you like the exta convex spotter mirror. I prefer to have a larger regular mirro offered on the # 7070-2. I use these on my Chevy Colorado pickup when towing a 25' travel trailer and they make a big difference when passing and backing up. The...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2008 Nissan Armada Towing 2007 Kodiak Trailer
  • In order to select the weight distribution system that is best for your 2008 Nissan Armada towing your 2007 Kodiak Trailer, I recommend that you start off by determining the tongue weight of your trailer when it is fully loaded. I have attached an article which is helpful in this process. The Pro Series Weight Distribution System, # PS49582, is designed for use with trailers having a tongue weight of 550 to 750 pounds. For the best performance, you will want to choose a system where your...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2008 Nissan Armada without 7-Way
  • Your 2008 Nissan Armada should have the brake controller install port under the dash. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. You most likely will need to remove the lower dash panel to access it. For the install of the brake controller you will need the install harness part # 3050-P to install our best selling P2 # 90885. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller...

  • Recommended Transmission Coolers for 2009 Nissan Armada SE 2WD Towing Travel Trailer
  • We can help you with a supplementary transmission cooler for your 2009 Nissan Armada SE 2WD to reduce its operating temperature when you tow your new Forest River travel trailer. For a standard passive cooler that mounts in front of your AC condenser I suggest the Derale Class III model # D13503. This will provide significant additional cooling of your transmission fluid. For a higher-capacity passive option the Class IV model # D13613 is a good choice. If you happen to often tow in the...

  • Are Snow Tire Chains Recommended On all 4 Tires on a 2010 Nissan Armada 4wd
  • For your 2010 Nissan Armada you could put tire chains on all four tires but it is not required. Normally snow chains are only required on the main drive wheels of your vehicle. For your Armada you need to install them on the rear tires. Your service department is giving solid advice. If you will be driving in extremely adverse road conditions, then two sets of the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, item # PW3029C, one for the front tires also, would be a good idea too. But remember that,...

  • Best Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Travel Trailer with Dry Tongue Weight 620 lbs
  • The best line of weight distribution and sway control we offer is the Strait Line series that has the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. The Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 would be a great choice as it has the sway control I mentioned plus a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,200 lbs like you most likely are going to need. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights On Trailer Not Working But All Other Lights Work
  • I would be happy to help! First things first, let's determine if the issue is on your 2019 Nissan Armada, or the trailer. With the headlights on use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the 11 o'clock pin on your 7-way connector. If you have power the issue is on the trailer side. I would check the connector on the trailer to make sure there is not any debris or corrosion in that pin causing a connection issue. Next check the wires running from the connector to the running lights...

  • Recommended Brake Controller For 2019 Nissan Armada With Factory Tow Package
  • We can get your 2019 Nissan Armada with the factory tow package set up with a trailer brake controller, and since you have the tow package all you'll need is the brake controller and wiring adapter. For your '19 Armada I highly recommend an option from Tekonsha: - Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller # TK63VR - Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3050-P I really like the BRAKE-EVN # TK63VR because it is the best overall value for a trailer brake controller; the reason for that is...

  • Can Timbren Rear Suspension be Used with Weight Distribution System on 2015 Nissan Armada
  • You can indeed use a suspension enhancement system, such as the Timbren # TNRARM that you referenced, along with a weight distribution system on your 2015 Nissan Armada. The reason we typically do not recommend both for towing applications, is simply because a properly rated weight distribution system should resolve rear sag by itself. Adding suspension enhancement is essentially redundant and may sometimes even work against a WD system. With that being said, for your particular application...

  • Recommended Propane Regulator and 8 to 10 Foot Hose to Supply a Food Trailer
  • To supply your food trailer from your 100 pound tank you're going to need a pigtail, like part # 100473-20-MBS, that goes from the tank to a regulator. The regulator needs to be a 2-stage regulator like part # 108220. Then from the regulator use part # 100040-144-MBS. It's 12 feet long so more than what you need but we don't have an 8 to 10 foot hose that has a 3/8 male to connect to a regulator with a 3/8 female flare on the other end. The next shortest option we carry is 6 feet long,...

  • Is Weight Distribution Required on 2018 Nissan Armada with Self-Leveling Towing a 5.5K Trailer
  • Whenever the loaded weight of the trailer will match or exceed half of the weight of the tow vehicle (like your 2018 Nissan Armada) a Weight Distribution (WD) system is recommended. A self leveling system is great because it can help to make your towing setup level, but it will not take all of the stress put at that coupling point and distribute it among all of the axles like a WD does. This helps to extend the life of your suspension and give you more control while towing. Just using...

  • Can You Backup and Make Tight Turns With Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch EQ37060ET Installed?
  • The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch # EQ37060ET you were looking at allows backing up while it is still attached along with tight turns, so this hitch will work perfectly for city driving. To make sure this is the correct hitch for you, you will need to confirm your total tongue weight. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement...

  • Can 2" Hitch Ball On Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch EQ37060ET Be Replaced W/ 2-5/16" Ball?
  • It sure can be! The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch # EQ37060ET you were looking uses a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank so the included 2" hitch ball can be replaced with a 2-5/16" hitch ball using the # 19286. With that said typically 2-5/16" couplers are used on trailers that are in the 7500lb+ range. Before purchasing this hitch I recommend confirming that your total tongue weight falls in the 200-600lbs range of this hitch, and that your trailer is under 6000lbs when loaded. Total...
