Expert Answers about Nissan Maxima


  • Will the KingJoe Trunk Bike Rack Fit on a 2004 Nissan Maxima SE with Factory Spoiler
  • My source at Yakima stated that they do not test vehicles with spoilers since many times manufacturers may have two or three different styles of spoiler that they use. So basically with a rear mounted spoiler you will have to test the rack on your vehicle to see if it will work. If the straps drag on the spoiler or the rack contacts the spoiler in any way, it is not recommended to use the rack. The best trunk mount bike rack option that I can offer for you is the Hollywood Racks Expedition...

  • Can a Cruiser Bike be Loaded on the Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  • For your cruiser bike and most bikes with alternative frames you will need to use a bike adapter bar such as # 64005 to be able to load the bike on a bike rack with 2 arms such as # HRE3. This will allow you to mount the bike to the rack. The adapter creates an artificial horizontal top tube so it fits on the rack. They are very easy to use. You will also need to make sure that your Cruiser ways 35 pounds or less. I have linked a video showing how it works.

  • Compatibility of Curt Euro-Style Ball Mount w/ Draw-Tite Class I 24796 on 2010 Nissan Maxima
  • When we installed the Draw-Tite # 24796 on a 2009 Nissan Maxima, we found that the hitch height and the setback was the exact same as the Curt # C11352 you referenced. This being said, the Euro-style ball mount won't work with the Draw-Tite hitch. A Class I hitch has the hitch pin hole recessed further back in the receiver than a Class II hitch would be. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch punch or weld a stop into the receiver so a Class II rated accessory can't be slid into the receiver far...

  • Hitch Needed for 1995 Nissan Maxima
  • The hitch you referenced, the Draw-Tite Class I Receiver, part # 24796 fits the 2009-2011 Maxima or the 2007-2011 Altima only. For your 1995 Maxima, I would recommend the Curt Class I, part # C11255. The Curt receiver attaches, as it uses two additional attachment points to the bumper structure. If you are planning on towing a trailer, you will also need the trailer wiring harness, part # 119178KIT, a ball mount part # 3593, a pin and clip part # PC2, and the appropriate sized trailer...

  • Replacement Water Valve for Dometic 510+ and 2010 Series RV Toilet
  • Yes, the Replacement Water Valve for Pedal-Flush Dometic RV Toilet # DOM55FR will fit both toilet models (510+ and 2010). The product model identification label is located on the toilet base under the pedestal cover (see photo), just in case you haven't checked there.

  • Will the Swagman Chinook 2 for 1-1/4" Hitches Work With Carbon Fiber Frame Bikes
  • I do have an option for you but as a general rule, you shouldn't use frame mount bike racks like the Swagman Chinook with carbon fiber frame bikes. The vibrations of the rack can cause damage to the frame over time. All bike racks have some movement but I agree, some more than others. For an alternative option, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # SH12B which is a wheel mount rack so there won't be a chance for damage to the frame. It's also very secure with the...

  • Is the Draw Tite Hitch 24796 Confirmed as a fit for the 2016 Nissan Maxima
  • Before any of our hitch manufacturers will release a fit for a vehicle they always test fit to be certain. Especially Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch. They seem to release fits later than Curt and rarely if ever do they get it wrong. They are incredibly cautious about carrying over a hitch fit from the previous year. That being said the Draw Tite hitch part # 24796 is going to fit your 2016 Nissan Maxima despite the differences on the vehicle you noted. I attached an install video that shows...

  • 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.

  • Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2004 Nissan Maxima
  • I checked with Thule and they do list the Passage bike rack, # TH910XT as a fit for the 2004 Nissan Maxima. I have included links to the instructions and a video review for you. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your Maxima.

  • 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...

  • Will Thule OutWay trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit 2014 Nissan Maxima SV Sport With Spoiler

  • How to Carry 5 Bikes with a 2009 Nissan Maxima
  • In order to carry 5 bikes with your 2009 Nissan Maxima you're either going to need to use a trailer or a combination of a hitch mount bike rack and a roof rack bike rack system because the only hitches that fit your vehicle are Class I hitches which are limited to only carrying 2 bikes. This means you won't be able to use the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack # C18065. Since it will be a bit more cost-effective and easier to maneuver your vehicle around by mounting 3 of the bikes to your roof that's...

  • 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...

  • Availability of Roof Rack for 2014 Nissan Maxima with Double Moon Roof
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she said there is at present no roof rack option for a 2014 Nissan Maxima with a double moon roof. Your best option to carry bikes or cargo would be to purchase a class I trailer hitch like Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24796. This custom-fit trailer hitch lets you carry a bike rack or cargo carrier or even tow a light trailer with your vehicle. You will want to check your owner's manual to make sure you can tow. You can then use a bike rack like Swagman...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount 2-Bike Carrier for 2013 Nissan Maxima
  • The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 is a confirmed fit on your 2013 Nissan Maxima sedan. Apart from its very friendly price, the Express 3 also offers light weight (only 13-lbs), a folding design for easier storage and a 4-strap attachment system which make it easier to install than racks that use 6 straps. Its dual arms make fitting most bikes easier and reduce the need for adapter bars like # UB01. For security, you can add passive Security Strap # TH533 to help secure the...
