Expert Answers about Nissan Leaf


  • Will the EcoHitch For a 2021 Nissan Leaf Also Fit a 2022 Nissan Leaf
  • While nobody has been able to confirm a fitment yet, from what I can tell it looks like the 2021 and 2022 Nissan Leaf models are comparable with no major differences so you should be able to still install the EcoHitch # 306-X7221. This has fit the Nissan Leaf since the 2013 model year so I would be surprised if that trend didn't continue. I do recommend checking out the linked installation instructions and the linked install video of this hitch on a 2020 Nissan Leaf and comparing it to...

  • Will Bike Rack With 1-1/4 Inch Shank Fit EcoHitch on 2022 Nissan Leaf
  • The hitch pin on a bike rack with a dedicated 1-1/4 inch shank won't be long enough to work with the EcoHitch with a 2 inch receiver that fits your 2022 Nissan Leaf, which is the following part number: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 So with the # 306-X7221 you'd need a bike rack that does work with its 2 inch hitch, such as the Thule T2 Pro X # TH83GC, Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR, or Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2013 Nissan Leaf
  • You need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 for your 2013 Nissan Leaf. The Receiver # 306-X7184 you found fit the 2011-2012 model years while the receivers appear very similar you can see the mounting bracket which bolts to the passenger side frame rail was changed for the 2013 through current 2024 model year. I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56227 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is...

  • Does EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver 306-X7221 Fit A 2021 Nissan Leaf?
  • I verified with EcoHitch that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7221 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 Nissan Leaf. This hitch has a 300lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for carrying a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR, a cargo carrier, or a ball mount for light duty towing.

  • Installing an EcoHitch on a Nissan Leaf 2016 with a Rear Fog Light
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 will require trimming of the bumper fascia to install on a 2016 Nissan Leaf, so it will depend on where this light sits. This light doesn't look to be a stock option as I was unable to find any information about it, unfortunately. With that said, I did include an image from the instructions that will show exactly where you will be trimming to get the # 306-x7221 installed.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver That Fits a 2019 Nissan Leaf EV
  • There absolutely is a trailer hitch receiver that fits a 2019 Nissan Leaf EV, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221. This is a 2" trailer hitch that is a bolt-on installation that has a hidden crosstube so your Leaf can maintain its clean, from-the-factory look.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2013 Nissan Leaf
  • I couldn't find any mention of a center mounted fog light, so if your 2013 Nissan Leaf is factory, there is a hitch that fits. If you're referencing an aftermarket center fog light, so long as it does not interfere with the frame under the bumper then the hitch will also fit. What you will need is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11396 That'll give you the hitch, and if you also plan on doing some light towing you'll need a few other parts to complete the set up: - Curt...

  • How to Tow a Trailer with Reverse Lights 2013 Nissan Leaf
  • Yes, the LED Trailer Light Kit part # TL16RK, Light Guide LED Backup Light part # BUL602CB, 25 ft. Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness part # A25W5B, and Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights part # A47PB will all work together and give your trailer reverse lights. The Submersible Tail Light Kit part # TLL36RK comes with a 4-way wiring harness and since you will be using a 5-way wiring harness, the more cost effective solution would be to purchase the Waterproof, Over 80"...

  • Best Swing Out Hitch Adapter For Cargo Carrier and Kuat Bike Rack
  • All of our Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extenders swing away at 90 degree angle. I recommend the Yakima BackSwing part # Y02483 for your Kuat 2 Bike Rack because it is lighter and offers a higher rise shank then the other options. Any swing away extender cuts the tongue weight rating of the hitch on the Promaster Cargo Van in half because it creates an extra leverage point on the setup. The tongue weight includes the extender itself, the rack and the bikes. If you are using a cargo carrier the...

  • Compatibility of the Kuat 2.0 Bike Rack Plus Kuat Add-On to Fit a 2013 Nissan Leaf
  • I have a solution for you, but the Kuat 2.0 Rack and Add-on cannot be used on your 2013 Nissan Leaf. Your best option would be a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack. The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack, # Y02633, would work well on you Nissan Leaf. The Yakima rack can carry 3 bike up to a total weight of 90 lbs. The rack mounts to the back of the Leaf using 4 cam buckle straps and uses foam pads to protect your vehicle's finish. The carrier is lightweight at 20 lbs. The only restriction you would...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Options For 40lb Bike On A 2021 Nissan Leaf
  • The trunk mounted bike rack carriers that we currently offer unfortunately aren't rated high enough for a 40lb bike so you would need to switch to either a trailer hitch mount or roof rack mounted rack. If you don't have a trailer hitch then you can install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 and then use a rack like the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457. If you'd rather go with a roof rack option then you could first install the following components: Yakima...

  • Is the Hollywood Trail Rider Bike Rack Compatible With Schwinn Women's Beach Cruiser
  • Yes the Schwinn Perla women's beach cruiser will be compatible with the Hollywood Trail Rider part # HR200Z with the use of an adapter part # 64005 because the bike's top cross tube comes down too low for the ratcheting arm of the bike rack to lock down onto according to all of the photos I found of the bike. Other then the use of an adapter, the beach cruiser will work well because the fenders will not interfere with mounting the bike at all. The bike adapter will give the Schwinn Perla...

  • How Does a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit Around Spoilers on a 2018 Nissan Leaf
  • The lower spoiler on the 2018 Nissan Leaf is not an issue. Regarding the upper spoiler the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 can be installed with the top straps in anchor mode which means the hooks would not be pulling on the spoiler. I have included a picture of a different Yakima rack on the Leaf but the fit will be basically the same. In this case the rack used does not have an anchor mode for the top straps. But you can see that because of the rack's position on the vehicle the top straps...

  • Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Fit 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 will absolutely fit your 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus. The slightly larger battery pack on this car is still in the middle of the vehicle chassis and though that means the Plus sits a bit higher than the normal Leaf, it does not affect the way a trailer hitch installs to the vehicle frame as that is completely unchanged so you can install this hitch without issue.
