Expert Answers about Nissan Versa Note


  • Will Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Nissan Versa Note
  • It looks like there has been an update and the OutWay actually won't fit the 2016 Nissan Versa Note, but you could use the similar Gateway Pro # TH78VR from Thule as an alternative. Sometimes fits will change for newer vehicles or if the bike rack is newer as the manufacturer is able to get more and more vehicles in their system which is why we are seeing this change. Attached is a review video of the Gateway Pro for you to check out. Don't forget an Adapter Bar # TH982XT if any of your...

  • Differences Between the Blue Ox Aventa LX and Alpha Tow Bars
  • Both the Blue Ox tow bars you mentioned are excellent tow bars that will work well. The Avail # BX7420 is considered the nicer one because it has the higher capacity like you mentioned and because it has longer arms. This allows for more clearance while executing turns. The base plate to use on your 2015 Nissan Versa Note is the Blue Ox kit part # BX1852 which has been confirmed as a fit. I attached review videos for both tow bars for you to check out as well. For lighting you can use...

  • Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Nissan Versa Note
  • The only hitch receivers that are made for the 2017 Nissan Versa Note are class I. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11378 is a confirmed fit for your Nissan Versa Note. It has a 1-1/4" receiver which gives you options for accessories and towing. This hitch is custom fit and attaches directly to your Nissan with the included hardware. It does not require drilling but will require some trimming of the fascia. The hitch has a 200 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 2,000 lbs gross towing...

  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack for my 2016 Nissan Versa Note
  • Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2139 will be a great fit for your 2016 Nissan Versa Note. It has great features and will allow you to get your bikes where you need them safely. I've looked at the other options which are plentiful and this one will do just as good as others at getting your bikes to your spot and is pretty cost effective. Of course there are some easier to use slightly and some that come with locks but that adds to the expense. This one seems to meet your needs to me. The...

  • Thule TH480R Rapid Traverse Roof Rack Feet Compatibility With Old Type Square Crossbars
  • The Thule # TH480R foot pack isn't compatible with the square crossbars unless they're the newer style that have the slots in the underside. Unfortunately, Thule no longer offers feet that are compatible with the older-style square bars nor is there an adapter available so your best bet will be to replace your existing bars with the new models that have the slots. The bars are available in the following lengths: 43 Inch, part # TH712100 47 inch, part # TH712200 50 inch, part # TH712300 53...

  • Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2016 Versa Note
  • When installing the trailer hitch receiver # C11378 on your 2016 Nissan Versa Note the charcoal canister is to be removed. Then you'll reinstall it after the hitch is installed. With the canister removed you should have enough room to get the hitch in place although it is still a rather tight fit.

  • Recommended Flat Towing System for 2014 Nissan Versa Note
  • If you have an automatic transmission in your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, then you cannot flat tow it. You would need to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. If you have the manual transmission, then the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52357-5 are a great start. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 to connect your base plates to your motorhome. You will...

  • Comparing Curt and Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2014 Nissan Versa Note SL
  • Like you mentioned, the Curt trailer wiring harness # C56206 for the 2014 Nissan Versa Note does not require a direct connection to the vehicle battery whereas Tow Ready harness # 118582 does. At the back of the vehicle the installation of the harnesses will be the same. The only difference is that power wire on the Tow Ready harness. That power wire is what will power the trailer lights. With the Curt harness the trailer lights will be drawing on the vehicle tail light wiring. Modern...

  • Which Base Plate Kit Will be Easier to Install for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
  • For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note both the Blue Ox base plate part # BX1852 and the Roadmaster part # RM-52357-4A are going to require very similar installs. Both require removal of an extensive portion of the front end of the vehicle. If it were me I would go with the Roadmaster as it seems the instructions are a bit more thorough and there isn't the same amount of fascia trimming as the Blue Ox. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...

  • Will the Thule SideKick Cargo Box Fit On a Crossbar Spread of 29"
  • It means that the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box # TH78GC won't mount to your roof because the crossbars will be too wide. Instead, if you're looking for a cargo box similar to the Thule SideKick that'll work with your bars, I'd recommend checking out the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRA220R-BK. This cargo box has a the same 8 cubic feet capacity as the Thule SideKick you were looking at, and will fit onto crossbars that have a minimum spread of 20" and a maximum of...

  • Will Trunk Bike Rack Work on 2015 Nissan Versa Note without Damaging it
  • The Thule part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Nissan Versa Note. The key to using trunk racks like this is to keep the vehicle you install the rack on as clean as possible and to not overload the rack. If you keep the rack and the vehicle clean there won't be any scratches, and if you don't overload the rack there wouldn't be any dents. It also helps to put down a fresh coat of wax on the vehicle's paint as well. It's also really important to remove the rack when not in use. I...

  • Will Blue Ox Tow Bars work with Roadmaster Baseplates for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian Version
  • The Roadmaster base plates # RM-52357-4A and # RM-52357-5 are currently the only base plates that will fit your 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian version. The U.S. and Canadian versions are made the same. The # RM-52357-5 will sit further back than the # RM-52357-4A, but it is not compatible with a tow bar adapter. If you plan on using a Blue Ox tow bar like the Avail # BX7420, then you will need a Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox adapter # RM-032 along with the Roadmaster base plates #...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Nissan Versa Note
  • There isn't a safe way to go from a Class I hitch to a Class III hitch. The adapters end up putting just too much stress on the hitch which can damage it and the vehicle. For carrying a bike rack with your 2014 Nissan Versa Note you would want to get a Class I compatible bike rack and the stabilizer strap # 18050 which is required by Curt. You would be able to carry a maximum of 2 bikes on a class one hitch even if the bike rack would hold more. The most popular bike rack we carry that...

  • Is the Brake Buddy Supplemental Braking System Compatible with Blue Ox Base Plates?
  • Yes. You will be able to use Blue Ox base plates like the # BX8869 and the Roadmaster Brake Buddy # HM39494 without compatibility issues on your 2015 Nissan Versa. For future reference, the only time you'll have issues with compatibility across flat towing components is when using tow bars and base plates that aren't from the same manufacturer; to combat this, base plate adapters are available. I've linked an article with our base plate adapter table that you might want to use if you ever...

  • Cost Efficient Roof Rack Compatible with 2016 Nissan Versa Note Hatchback
  • I have a solution for you, however the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars - Steel - 50" Long # SR1002 is not compatible with your 2016 Nissan Versa Note 5 door. This is a very basic rack that is an okay fit for many vehicles that is very economically priced, but unfortunately will not work for you. The most comparable rack is the Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127, the Inno Feet # INSUT, and the Custom Fit Kit # INK421. I've attached...
