Expert Answers about Nissan Xterra


  • 4-6 Ski Rack for a 2011 Nissan XTerra With Factory Roof Rack
  • You have two solid options that we've had success with in the past on Nissan XTerras with the factory bars. Both options use a newer rubber coated steel cable mounting system that tends to work better with oddly shaped crossbars than the solid universal clamps. This is because the steel cable can adjust to more shapes than the hard plastic mounts that are normally used. The first is the Thule SnowPack, part # TH7326 or its extendable version, part # TH7325. These are 4 board, 6 ski racks...

  • Will the Thule Gateway Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2002 Nissan Xterra
  • The Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH78VR will fit your 2002 Nissan Xterra. The rack uses 6 straps to secure to the back of the vehicle. The initial set up will take the longest but after that it should only take a few minutes to get the rack on and probably half that time to remove it. But for the fastest and easiest rack to install or remove I recommend the Raceway 3, # TH9002PRO. I own this rack myself and it is the easiest rack I have used to install or remove. This is because...

  • Adapting Thule Evolution Cargo Box to fit Factory Crossbars on 2001 Nissan Xterra
  • According to my contact at Thule, there are two options that will get your Evolution cargo box to fit on your Xterra. The first option would be to replace your existing mounting hardware with part # TH04997. This is not the nice, easy snap hardware that your box has now, and might involve slight modifications to the hole pattern of the box, but it would work according to Thule. Your other option would be to retain your existing mounting hardware for the box, but go with a smaller diameter...

  • Will the Advantage Rooftop Cargo Bag Fit the Raised Rails of a 2010 Nissan Xterra?
  • Yes, the Advantage Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag # HE3021 tall that you referenced is designed to attach to raised roof rails so it would work on your 2010 Nissan Xterra with raised rails. When using a roof top cargo bag that will rest on the roof of your vehicle we often recommend cleaning the roof and bag to prevent any scratching of the vehicle paint.

  • Will a SportRack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Fit a 2009 Nissan Xterra Offroad Factory Roof Rack
  • In order to determine if the SportRack Roof Cargo Carrier, # SR9035, will fit your 2009 Nissan Xterra, you will need to measure the diameter or thickness of the cross bars that run side to side on the roof. If they are 3-1/2 inches in diameter or less, then the carrier will fit. Yakima lists some baskets as a direct fit to factory Nissan crossbars. You can use the LoadWarrior, # Y07070, or the MegaWarrior, # Y07080.

  • Will Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski Racks Fit Factory Crossbars on 2010 Nissan Xterra
  • Replacement hardware # 7533998 is similar to the hardware that is on the newer Pull Top Thule ski carrier (it just attaches to the body of the carrier differently) and fits the same bar size. Thule lists that newer Pull Top as a fit for the factory Nissan crossbars so that would mean that hardware # 7533998 will also fit. The worst case scenario is that you will need slightly longer bolts but it doesn't appear that will be necessary. If it is you could use # 919611054 sold in quantities...

  • Hitch For A 1-1/4" x 3" Bumper On A Pop-Up Camper

  • Recommended Cargo Box and Roof Rack for a 2003 Nissan Xterra
  • If your 2003 Nissan Xterra has a factory rack that includes cross bars then the Thule Motion XT Cargo Box, item # TH629706, will work great on the roof of your vehicle. If your vehicle does not have factory cross bars you will need to install them. The Yakima Roof Rack for 2003 Nissan Xterra, item # Y00408, # Y03536, and # Y33TR would complete the roof rack for attachment of either of the above mentioned cargo boxes. You may want to consider the Tire Wheel Step item # PT68ZR, which is...

  • Will Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket Fit a 2001 Nissan Xterra with Factory Crossbars
  • I checked with Yakima and they do list the LoadWarrior cargo basket # Y07070 as a fit on the factory crossbars on your 2001 Nissan Xterra. The replacement hardware is no longer available, but we do have the locking version, # Y07064, sold in pairs. The locks/keys are not included so you would need to order them as well using # Y07202, if you wanted the locking version.

  • Will Tow Ready Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63153 Work With Curt Front Hitch # 31514 On 2009 Nissan Xterra
  • The Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31514 will fit on your 2009 Nissan Xterra. You will have to remove the front tow hook to install this hitch. This hitch is a 3,500 lb.rated hitch and will have a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. The Tow Ready Hitch Cargo Carrier # 63153 will fit the Curt 2 inch hitch, but when it is used on a 3,500 lbs. rated hitch you will be limited to a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs. You will also want to make sure you do not exceed the front axle Gross Axle Weight...

  • Cargo Basket Fit for Nissan Xterra with Factory Crossbars
  • In my research, I could not find standard specifications for crossbars when I looked in the Xterra's owner's manual. We have a Xterra in our shop today, and when I measured the crossbars, I agree with you that they seem to be approximately 3-1/2 by just over 1-3/16. The shape of the bars makes them a bit difficult to measure. With the crossbars on your 2010 Nissan Xterra at 3-1/2 inches wide, then the Curt Roof Cargo Carrier # C18115 will not be a fit for your crossbars. This cargo carrier...

  • Correct Weight Distribution Hitch For Trailer With 400 lb to 500 lb Tongue Weight
  • We can get you set up with a weight distribution hitch with sway control, and in regards to ratings, your trailer's tongue weight will need to stay at or below the capacity of your Xterra's hitch (500 lbs). The weight distribution hitch is a bit different, because the best system is one in which your trailer's tongue weight falls somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity. So for example if your tongue weight is somewhere between 400 lbs and 500...

  • Recommended Mounting Bracket for Curt T-Connector 7-Way on a 2013 Nissan Xterra
  • I do have a solution for you but when I went out to the warehouse and tested the Curt T-Connector # C56226 with the 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box # 18159 that you referenced to find that they actually aren't compatible due to the mounting hole locations on the Curt 7-Way. Instead of the Draw-Tite mounting box I recommend going with the Hopkins Universal Mounting Bracket # HM48625, which has a variety of mounting holes that will line up, and the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18140....

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For A 2015 Nissan Xterra
  • While the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2 # 40375-2 are a universal fitting mirror we do not have a confirmation that they fit the 2015 Nissan Xterra. Instead I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 Item # 7070-2 which is a confirmed fit and will give you a larger view with its 5" x 7-1/2" mirror dimensions. It uses textured rubber straps and clips to allow for a secure fit and vibration-free ride and prevent loosening overtime.

  • Compatibility of the Thule Canyon XT Cargo Carrier on a 2008 Nissan Xterra

Thule recommends using the widest setting to allow for optimum load distribution.

  • Roof Mounted Cargo Box Recommendations for the 2005 Nissan Xterra with Factory Roof Rack
  • To install the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box, item # TH615, on the roof of your husbands 2005 Nissan Xterra, he will also need the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400. This cross bar kit will provide an attachment point for the Quick Grip mounts that are included with the cargo box.
