- Required Bike Rack Stabilizing Strap For CURT Hitch # 11510 on a 2011 Infiniti EX-35
- The strap you will need is the CURT bike rack strap with cambuckle, part # 18050.
CURT requires using a stabilizing strap with any hitch mounted bike rack or hitch accessories. The strap acts as a precaution to reduce jarring and torque applied to the hitch from the weight of the bike rack and bicycles.
Since the CURT hitch # 11510 is a Class I model, you will need to make sure your bike rack is compatible with Class I hitches. You will also be limited to carrying 2 bikes.

- The Kuat Sherpa part # SH12G can fit Class I hitches like the Curt # C11510 which is a fit for your 2011 Infiniti EX35.
With this style of rack the use of the # 18050 can be a challenge but we have seen people run it to the bike's frame or even to the base of the bike rack and it's good by Curt's standards.

- The Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02457, will fit Class II trailer hitches but not Class I trailer hitches like # C11510. So that is what the issue is. Class II hitches have a greater receiver depth that Class I hitches so the shank of the rack will fit properly and the hitch pin holes will line up.
There are only certain bike racks that will fit a Class I trailer hitch and I have included a link to them for you. Like you said, the Camber, # TH9058, will fit the hitch and is a popular 2 bike hanging...

- You are correct, Infinity does not recommend trailer towing due to the added stress that it puts on the vehicle. I can not recommend doing anything that would contradict this.

view full answer... - Is There a 2 Hitch Reciever Available for the 2010 Infiniti EX35
- I have a solution for you, but there are no 2" hitches available for your 2010 Infiniti EX35 and even if you used a hitch adapter like the Brophy # HTAD it would reduce the tongue weight capacity by 50% down to 75-lbs total for the carrier and bikes. If you're only carrying 1 bike and a very light weight carrier this may work for you. The best solution would be to go with a bike rack that will fit on a 1-1/4" hitch like the Curt # C11510.
If you wanted to get a new rack that would fit...

- We have several 2-bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2008 Infiniti EX35. However, if the vehicle has a rear spoiler there are no trunk mount options that will fit.
Without a spoiler I recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. This rack is unique in that it uses 2 rubber coated straps instead of 6 straps like other racks to mount to the vehicle. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables hold up much better than nylon straps.
This rack can be locked to deter theft...

- Thank you for your purchase of the Class I 1-1/4" Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11510 for your 2008 Infiniti EX35!
When it comes to the wiring you'll have to use a splice-in option and for that I recommend the Curt # C59236.
