Expert Answers about Dodge Nitro
- Can Moon Roof be Opened with Curt Cargo Basket Mounted on Roof Rack
- The small rungs on the Curt Cargo Basket # C18115 are roughly 4" apart so with the mounting brackets in the positions that you see on our site (see attached photo) the basket will overhang your front crossbar by about 8" give or take. With that being said, odds are that the mounting hardware for the basket and the height of your crossbars will be the limiting factor as opposed to the basket itself (since the basket will be sitting above your roof rack).
The U-Bolts that come with this...
view full answer... - Installation of Largest Transmission Cooler on a 2011 Dodge Nitro
- As far as transmission coolers go, you cannot cool transmission fluid too much, so installing the largest cooler that the space on your 2011 Dodge Nitro will allow is perfectly fine and will benefit your transmission the most. Ideally you want the transmission fluid to be between 160 and 200 degrees for the best operation and longest life from the transmission.
Transmission coolers are a universal fit item, so as long as you have space in front of your air conditioning condenser, or between...

- If your 2007 Dodge Nitro has a factory roof rack with crossbars are spread out between 20 inches and 37 inches when measured center to center then the Thule Canyon Roof basket # TH859XT would fit. The cargo carrier is made to attach to the crossbars of a roof rack, not to be attached directly to the roof.
Anytime you are going to be carrying cargo on the roof you will want to check your owners manual or the car dealer for the load limit of the roof on your 2007 Dodge Nitro. You will...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler and Brake Controller for a 2008 Dodge Nitro
- A vehicle equipped with a tow/haul button does not necessarily have a factory transmission cooler. The tow/haul button is used to change the shift points of your transmission for optional performance while towing. Almost all vehicles nowadays have an auxiliary transmission cooler of some sort, however, that's not to say that they are designed for towing or will withstand the transmission temperatures associated with this. Therefore, I recommend installing an aftermarket transmission cooler...

view full answer... - Will the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT fit a 2010 Dodge Nitro
- The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT that you referenced must have crossbars installed on your 2010 Dodge Nitro, for the rack to work. If you have crossbars, check if they are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart. If they are, you are in business and this rack will work.
For a similar cargo basket that has been confirmed to fit your bars check out the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070.

- The etrailer.com bag, item # 988501, is not recommended to be used as a rooftop cargo bag, due to the size and height of the bag. The bag works great or a hitch mounted cargo carrier, but it's about as aerodynamic as a brick so it wouldn't be the best choice for a roof mount.
As long as your vehicle has a roof rack to tie a bag down to, I would recommend the Thule Outbound Roof Rack Cargo Bag, part # TH868. This bag offers 13 cubic feet of storage, and is covered by a limited lifetime...

view full answer... - How to Select the Correct Weight Distribution System
- Since you will be pulling a low tongue weight it is possible the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-0600 is the right choice, because it has a tongue weight capacity of between 250 lbs and 600 lbs; however, there is a way for you to know for certain if this is the best choice.
You will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2008 Dodge...
