Expert Answers about Nissan Juke


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke Front Wheel Drive
  • There is a trailer hitch designed for the front wheel drive models of the 2011 Nissan Juke. Take a look at the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11302. This hitch is listed as a fit for front wheel drive models only. I have included a link to the installation details for you. This is a Class I trailer hitch and with all non-trailer loads, like a bike rack, Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap, # 18050, to be in compliance with their warranty requirements. You will also be limited to carrying...

  • Recommended Hitch Expander Adapter for 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11088 is a Class I trailer hitch, so it will not match up with the MaxxTow # MT70355. You can instead use the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD or Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. Both of these are rated for use with Class I trailer hitches but you will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. So your hitch that was rated for 200 lbs will drop to 100 lbs and that is the max...

  • Recommendations for Locking My Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to My Car
  • I have an excellent solution for you. Thule offers the Thule Passive Lock Strap # TH533. This puck and strap security system will work for you because it will be secured by your 2011 Nissan Juke's rear hatch. To properly install this lock strap you will loop it around your trunk mounted rack and by placing the puck into the cargo area of your trunk and locking your vehicle the bike rack becomes locked to your vehicle. The Passive Lock is made with steel cables that are wrapped in nylon...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 3 Bikes for a 2013 Nissan Juke
  • We have several 3-bike trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2013 Nissan Juke. I have included a link to all of the models that will fit your Juke. For a good entry-level carrier I recommend the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. This carrier has the features you'd expect from a quality bike carrier including ant-sway cradles and padded legs to help protect the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this carrier. For a bike carrier that will be the easiest to put on and take off of...

  • Thule Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke with 215/55-17 Tires
  • A class S tire chain would have to have 37mm or less clearance above the tire tread and 15mm or less clearance from the sidewall of the tire. The Thule CB12 chains are only 12mm so they could be considered a class S chain and would be S.A.E. compliant. Since your 2011 Nissan Juke has 215/55-17 tires, you will need to use Thule Tire Chains, # TH01221100, which would be a proper fit for your tire size. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you to view. I have also...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Nissan Juke Nismo
  • I have a bike rack solution for you, but when I spoke to our manufactures and they told me that the Nismo would not have a hitch fit because of the configuration of the frame and cross supports that are necessary for a performance automobile to achieve the needed strength to operate as designed. My number one recommendation for you to transport your bikes is with a roof mounted bike rack. To do this you will first need a roof rack system like the Thule Evo Clamp # TH145098, 47 inch SquareBars...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2014 Nissan Juke NISMO
  • I wish we had a hitch for your vehicle but the NISMO editions make things difficult. Why do you want a hitch? Is it for a bike rack? We may have a different option available. A trunk bike rack like the Thule Passage part # TH910XT is confirmed as a fit and can carry 2 bikes. There is no NISMO exclusion for it.

  • 2013 Nissan Juke Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Cargo Carrier
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 24892 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Nissan Juke SV as it fits all models aside from NISMO. You'd have to go with a new cargo carrier though as the hitch adapters cut the capacity of the hitch in half and this hitch has a 200 lb capacity. We have the # 63155 that is 44 lbs. This would work for you if you could lower your cargo weight about 5 pounds.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For Trailer Towing With a 2013 Nissan Juke
  • To begin according to the owners manual for your 2013 Nissan Juke it says "Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle." so you will want to consider that if you do intend to still tow. With that said if you do still decide to tow a trailer I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11088 on your 2013 Nissan Juke AWD non-Nismo edition. If you have a Nismo edition there is currently not a receiver confirmed to fit. Curt recommends using either the 1-7/8" Drawbar # C45561 or 2"...

  • How to Flat-Tow a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD Behind Another Vehicle
  • I was not able to reference a 45 mph speed restriction anywhere in the owner's manual for a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD. The speed restriction I found was 70 mph. However, the only AWD models that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you have an automatic transmission then you will need to use a trailer with all four wheels off the ground. If you do have the manual transmission then in order to tow the vehicle behind your Jeep Grand...

  • Installing Rightline Gear SUV Tent on 2013 Nissan Juke and Preventing the Battery from Draining
  • The Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly # RL110907 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2013 Nissan Juke. The SUV tent featues an alligator clamping sleeve that will securely attach around the rear of your Juke. The heavy-duty straps and nylon buckles will then secure the tent to the vehicle body by using attachment points on the Nissan Juke exterior and inside the cargo area. I have attached the complete installation details that you can review and a couple images that...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2013 Nissan Juke AWD
  • I will be happy to recommend the parts you will need to use a cargo carrier on your 2013 Nissan Juke AWD. Starting with a trailer hitch I recommend # 24867. This hitch is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight meaning the combined weight of the carrier and its cargo cannot exceed 200 pounds. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Curt cargo carrier # C18145 will work with this hitch but I recommend a carrier that has a rise in the shank to give you better ground clearance....

  • Recommendation to Transport Bikes on 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO
  • Depending on how you are wanting to use a trailer hitch, I may have a solution for you, however there is not currently a trailer hitch available that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO model. If you are looking for a way to transport your bikes, we do have a nice selection of trunk-mounted bike racks that are confirmed to fit. I recommend looking at the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This bike rack is confirmed to fit your NISMO model Nissan Juke and is...

  • Recommended Complete Flat Towing Setup For 2015 Nissan Juke AWD
  • For your 2015 Nissan Juke AWD, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1851. I strongly suggest using the Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube # LT37420 for this installation. For your tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This comes with a pin and clip as well as the safety cables you will need. I recommend using the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 3 #...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke FWD
  • The front-wheel drive models of the 2011 Nissan Juke use different trailer hitches than the AWD models. For your FWD model I recommend # 24892. It has the same ratings as the one for AWD models just with a different design to fit the FWD models. I checked the owner's manual for your 2011 Juke and it states not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. So if you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use...

  • Options For Carrying 3 Bikes On 2012 Nissan Juke
  • Since the Class l hitch is installed on your 2012 Nissan Juke, there are limits concerning how many bikes can be carried on your hitch. Class l hitches are only able to handle bike carriers with a maximum of 2 bikes. Unfortunately, you aren't able to carry three bikes on a hitch mounted rack, but I may have an option for you. I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Platform Style Bike Rack, part # SH12G. This rack tilts rearward to allow you room to access your rear cargo area. It holds two bikes...

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack to Carry Carbon Fiber Bike on 2013 Nissan Juke
  • To carry your bike using a hitch mounted bike rack, you first need a hitch. For the FWD model, as long as it is not a NISMO model, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I receiver, part # 24892. The hitch is identical to the Hidden Hitch model, but it does not include the ball mount that you will not need if you are only going to use the hitch to carry a bike rack. For a carbon fiber bike, the best way to transport the bike without causing undue stress to the frame is to use a platform...

  • Roof Rack and Tie Downs to Carry Lumber on a 2014 Nissan Juke
  • What I recommend is to add some load stops to the roof rack crossbars so that you can support the load side to side and use straps to secure the lumber front to back and tie off to the load stops. First you will need a roof rack for your 2014 Nissan Juke. The most cost effective roof rack that is a true custom fit is from Inno using square bars # INB117, feet # INSUT, and fit kit # INK399. Then for load stops I recommend # TH503 because they are designed to fit Tule square bars which...
