Expert Answers about Nissan Sentra
- Possible To Tow U-Haul Cargo Trailer 4x8 Or 5x8 On 2013 Sentra SV?
- Hi, For your 2013 Nissan Sentra SV I would use the Curt trailer hitch receiver custom fit # C11349 it does not require any drilling holes in the frame of your car. Just needs one hole made wider. You will also need a ball mount like the Curt Class II drawbar # C45521 and ball like the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 and a wire harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-pole flat trailer connector # C56205.

There are a number of reasons the FullBack # Y02634 is the best, starting with its strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points. This is important because it ensures your bikes don't make any contact with...

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Sentra
- For your 2018 Nissan Sentra the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack ROC25 part number # RR37QR which is a confirmed fit. I like this rack as the bars are flush mounted bars which means they do not stick out past the feet of the rack and the crossbars are aerodynamically shaped too which helps with reducing wind noise and fuel mileage loss. The Rhino Rack roof rack components are very high quality and easy to install too.

Because it is a Class I trailer hitch you will need a bike carrier that is rated for use on a Class I trailer hitch and you are limited to carrying a maximum of 2 bikes.

- The Thule OutWay # TH65JV is an excellent choice. It is by far the easiest to mount trunk mount bike rack I have used. They are the easiest and quickest installation of any trunk mount bike rack I have seen because they use retractable cables instead of straps. The mounting cables are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to deter theft.

- The highest rated trailer hitch available for a 2016 Nissan Sentra is class I, there is not a class II available. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11349 which is a drill free option. Therefore, you will be limited to class I rated accessories for this vehicle.

Since the # C11349 is a Class I trailer hitch receiver you will need to use a bike rack that is compatible. I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel...

- The bike rack I recommend for your 2002 Nissan Sentra is the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. I like this rack a bit more than the # S63400 because it has heavy duty cradles and also features a 3 inch rise in the shank, which may give you a little more ground clearance at the back of your Sentra.
Both racks have a tilting feature which allow you access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle, and both racks will fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 2 inch receiver with...

- To carry a kayak on the roof of your 2009 Nissan Sentra you would start with a roof rack like # SR1002. Then you would add a kayak carrier like # TH881. The saddles will protect the kayak from damage from the roof rack.

BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06142
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204 (optional)

view full answer... - Are 2 or 4 Tire Chains Needed and is there a Speed Rating when Using Chains on a 2004 Nissan Sentra
- When using tire chains they would need to go on the main drive wheels. On a front wheel drive car they go on the front wheels and there would not be much additional benefit to put them on the rear wheels.
But on a rear wheel drive vehicle they would go on the back wheels and having some on the front wheels would help with braking and steering. But for your 2004 Nissan Sentra the front tires are where you will put the chains.
Different chains have different speed ratings, and there are...
