Expert Answers about Nissan Versa


  • Equipment Recommendations for Flat Towing 2020 Nissan Versa w/ Manual Transmission
  • If your 2020 Nissan Versa is a 4 door sedan that's not equipped with the factory fog light option, we do have a base plate kit that'll work for you. I'd recommend the Roadmaster # RM27FR base plate kit, which features removable draw bars for a clean look when the vehicle isn't being flat towed. For a tow bar, go with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain, part # RM-522. The Falcon All Terrain won't bind up if the surface the motorhome and vehicle are sitting on isn't perfectly flat, which...

  • 2-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback
  • There are quite a few 2-bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2007 Nissan Versa hatjchback. I have included a link to them for you. The Saris Bones, # SA805BL, is a popular option. It is light weight and easy to use. For it to fit you will also need Hatch Huggers # SA3035. The Hatch Huggers allow for the proper fit of the rack to the top of the hatch to avoid putting too much stress on it which can occur with the regular hooks. I have included links to videos on the rack and Hatch...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Installed on 2009 Nissan Versa Causing Brake Lights To Stay On
  • If I had to guess, I'd say that there's most likely a short circuit in the converter box. You can confirm this by disconnecting the 12-volt connection at the positive battery terminal that leads to the converter box. If this fixes the problem, it confirms that the converter box has shorted out and needs to be replaced. You should be able disconnect the connectors by pushing on the release tabs then pulling the connection apart. For a replacement, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118545 T-One...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for Flat Towing 2017 Nissan Versa with Stowmaster Tow Bar
  • The EZ5 base plates cannot be used with a Stowmaster tow bar. The EZ4 kits like the part # RM-52357-4A can be used with your Stowmaster so it would be the kit to use on your 2017 Nissan Versa. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback with Spoiler
  • The trunk rack that would work best on your 2011 Nissan Versa hatchback is the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 bike rack which is designed to work with most vehicles with spoilers and is confirmed to fit your Versa hatchback. However, since your vehicle has a soft bumper, I would recommend going with a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack since this combination will not contact the vehicle at all. For a hitch you will want the Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11348. For a bike rack the most popular one we...

  • Fit of Curt Class I C11256 Trailer Hitch on 2012 Nissan Tiida
  • According to Curt, their Class I trailer hitch, part # C11256 is designed to fit the North American market 2012 Nissan Versa. The fit of the hitch hasn't been tested on a Nissan Tiida. According to my research, it's the same vehicle but it's not clear if the rear structure of the vehicles are identical. Look under the rear bumper, and find the holes in the frame mebers that serve as the hitch attachment holes. If these holes are 37-1/4 inches apart, center hole to center hole, then the...

  • Will the Roadmaster Bulb and SOcket Tow Bar Wiring Kit Fit a 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback
  • We have not had anyone come to us with specific problems related to a 2011 Nissan Versa hatchback and tow bar wiring kit # RM-155. There are some things about the bulb and socket kit that you need to be aware of. There is drilling involved with the installation of this kit. You have to drill into the back of the tail light housing to mount the bulbs. There needs to be enough space inside the housing for the bulbs to fit without melting the tail light lens. There needs to be 1/4 inch of...

The full kit that includes the connectors and wire is # RM-155 for incandescent. If your vehicle has LED lights, you will need # # RM-152-LED.

  • Towing Capability of 2014 Nissan Versa
  • The hitch itself, # C11256, has a towing capacity of 2000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force hitch can safely withstand) of 200 lbs. I looked up the towing capacity of the vehicle by consulting an online copy of the owners manual, and found on page 9-17, it states not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. I can't recommend anything that would contradict the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. If you were planning on using the hitch as an attachment point...

  • Availability of Quick-Connect Tow Lights for Use with Tow Dolly
  • For cases where your tow dolly does not include lights the way the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 does, we can help you with a set of easy-to-install and cost-effective towing lights. The linked page displays all of the removable tail light kits we have for flat towing. Most are magnetic mount like the # TL21RK. Both of these have a 4-pole flat trailer connector but we also have a kit that uses a 6-pin plug, # SPL30B-6.

  • Does Bumper Fascia have to be Cut or Trimmed to Install Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Nissan Versa
  • You will have to trim the heat shield to install Curt trailer hitch # C11256 on your 2014 Nissan Versa, but not the bumper. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you that show where to trim the heat shield. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. For a bike...

You will also need a RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033. Next you will need lights on the Versa.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation For 2014 Nissan Versa Note
  • There are some Rhino-Rack roof racks that fit your 2014 Nissan Versa. The nicest are part # RR98GR in black. I like these racks because the bars don't stick out the sides of Versa for a nice, clean, factory look. The kit comes with everything you need to install except a measuring tape.

  • Recommendation for Carrying 250cc Dirt Bike with 2012 Nissan Versa Sedan
  • I have a solution for you, but we do not have any hitch mount motorcycle carriers that will allow you to carry your dirt bike with your 2012 Nissan Versa. All of the hitch-mount motorcycle carriers we offer are designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitches. The only trailer hitches available for your Versa are Class I trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers. A Class I hitch, and your Versa, won't offer the necessary tongue weight capacity to carry your dirt bike on a hitch mount carrier....
