How Can I Carry 50lb Ebikes On The Roof Of My Car
Your ebikes weight is one of the limiting factors in carrying them on the roof of your vehicle. The Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount, part # Y02098, has a weight limit of 40lbs. But if your roof rack has crossbars with a channel my recommendation would be the Inno Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Channel Mounted - Aluminum, part # INXA391. It is a fork mounted rack that attaches to the channel of your crossbars. It has a weight limit of 50lbs and locks your...

How to Carry Bikes With 2014 Nissan Maxima With Panoramic Glass Roof
While there is certainly a way to carry bikes or cargo with a 2014 Nissan Maxima a panoramic glass roof, I checked with our rack manufacturers, and there are no options for a roof rack fit. So you do have a couple choices, depending on what you are looking to haul. For just bikes, you can simply use a trunk-mounted bike rack that fits, and an options that is high quality but still economical is the Thule Passage 2-Bike Rack # TH910XT. I have added a link below to a video review of the...

Recommendation for a Bike Rack to Fit a 2011 Nissan Maxima
For the 2011 Nissan Maxima you have two options that I recommend for bike racks. The first would be to install a trailer receiver hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. For the 2011 Nissan Maxima, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Receiver Hitch, # 24796. This hitch has the 1-1/4 receiver opening and has a 200 lbs tongue weight capacity. For the bike rack, the Swagman XTC-2 2 Bike Platform Rack, # S64670, will work well with the Draw-Tite hitch. This rack will allow you to carry 2...

Replacement License Plate Light Compatible with 1999 Nissan Maxima
The Replacement License Plate Light Kit for Westin Bumpers - Chrome # 00007153 is not a custom fit for your 1999 Nissan Maxima, but it absolutely can work for your application. Another option is to use a trailer license plate light like the LED Trailer License Plate Light with Chrome Housing - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Round - White Lens # LPL11CB or Round Trailer License Plate Light with Mount Ears - Chrome Plated # LP71CB. We don't have a custom assembly for your license plate light,...

Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Carrier For 2013 Nissan Maxima With Spoiler
The Hollywood Racks Express, part # HRE3, is confirmed to fit your 2013 Nissan Maxima sedan but not with a spoiler like you have. Instead, I recommend the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2139. It's specifically designed to work with a spoiler and is a fit for your Maxima. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat...

Tips for Installing Trailer Wiring Harness # 119175KIT on a 2000 Nissan Maxima
First, you will not have to purchase different bulbs, the factory ones in the car will work fine with wiring harness # 119178KIT. Normally we have customers use the included circuit tester to find the correct wires. Using your multi-meter is even better. We have not had the chance to install this harness on a 2000 Nissan Maxima so I cannot tell you what the wire colors are. But if you do re-test the wires and come up with the same functions as you have here, that would indicate you have...

Will this Thule Bike Rack fit on my 2005 Nissan Maxima?
The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Carrier for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Hitches - Hitch Mount part # TH92BJ, is compatible with your 2005 Nissan Maxima as long as you have an appropriate hitch to mount it to. We recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch for the 2005 Maxima by Nissan part # C11264, which has been rated at having an installation difficulty of 6 out of 10, and should about an hour to install for someone who is mechanically inclined, it may also be helpful if you had an extra person to...

Availability of AirLift Coil Helper Springs for 2012 Nissan Maxima
They aren't a confirmed fit simply because the fit hasn't been tested. The air bags used on the AirLift # AL60822 measure 3.45 inches in diameter at the widest point and 8.75 inches tall. To determine if these bags will fit, measure the inside diameter and available inside height of the spring while the suspension is at normal ride height, i.e. not up on jack stands or a lift. If your measurements tell you that this particular kit won't fit, AirLift offers several different semi-universal...

Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 24796 Fit a 2008 Nissan Maxima?
Your 2008 Nissan Maxima is going to require the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11264. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796 you found only fits the Nissan Maxima produced for 2009-2022. I recommend installing the 4-Way # 56022 when you install the receiver. This is the connector used on small trailers you might tow and will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view of your tail lights.

Hitch Bike Rack Similar to Thule T2 for Rear of Camper Trailer
At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use. Thule does not recommend the use of their racks at the back of...

Replacement RV AC Unit Recommendation for Dometic Duo Therm
The Advent Air Replacement RV AC Unit part # ACDOM150 was designed to replace the Duo Therm unit you have now so it would work great and install very easily. It uses same connections and mounting as your old unit so the install would be super simple. To add a heat strip to it all you'd need is the part # ACMHD and you'd be set with everything you need.

Parts Needed for Towing Small Trailer With 1996 Nissan Maxima
If the trailer weighed less than 2,000 lbs then our trailer hitches like the Curt part # C11255 would have the capacity for a trailer. But you would need to check the owner's manual of the 1996 Nissan Maxima to determine it's towing capacity and be sure to stay under it. For a ball mount you would want the part # 3593. For a 2 inch hitch ball part # 19258 or for 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256. For trailer wiring you would want the part # 119178KIT.

Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Nissan Maxima Sedan with Single Moonroof
Since you have the single moonroof on your 2014 Nissan Maxima you can install the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK171 that you referenced. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks like this one as you get a higher quality roof rack at a price not quite as high as the Thule and Yakima racks.

Does Adding Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 Bypass the Factory Cooler on a 2001 Nissan Maxima
When adding an aftermarket transmission cooler like # D13503 to a vehicle, you do not bypass the factory cooler. The Derale cooler will be installed in line with the existing system so that it supplements the factory cooler. It accepts the same transmission fluid that is used in the transmission. You may or may not need to add more fluid. I have included a link to our FAQ article on Transmission Coolers and a link to a video showing a typical installation.

Will Thule T2 Pro XTR Carry Bikes Higher than Hanging Bike Rack with Bike Frame Adapter
Recently Curt walked back the requirement for the stabilizer strap when using a bike rack with their hitches so the strap wouldn't have to be used when carrying the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH23JV that you referenced although it wouldn't be a terrible idea to still use it if you can find a way to. In general platform bike racks like this carry the bikes higher than a hanging bike rack. Especially if a bike frame adapter bar like you mentioned is being used. This rack has several inches...

Can 2020 Nissan Maxima Tow Small Jet Ski Trailer
I pulled up the owner's manual of your 2020 Nissan Maxima online and found that Nissan states that your vehicle should not tow a trailer. So, while we have hitches like the # C11352 that fit your vehicle and wiring like # C59496 which is universal fit for your vehicle, and we know people still tow with the vehicle regardless we have to recommend you follow the recommendations/restrictions of Nissan. What we (and our hitch manufacturers) have found is that even when the manufacturer state...

Recommended Roof Rack And Bike Carrier For 2005 Nissan Maxima
For your 2005 Maxima one of the nicer roof racks I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack. This roof rack has aerodynamic aluminum crossbars that have rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel to help provide a quieter ride. This kit comes with the crossbars, legs with built-in locks that secure the roof rack to the roof of your vehicle, and custom clamps and pads to ensure a good fit for your Maxima. For this system you would need to order part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and...
