Expert Answers about Nissan Xterra


  • 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 Kayak Lift for 2007 Nissan Xterra Factory OEM Roof Rack
  • I have a solution for you, but the Yakima ShowDown Kayak Lift, part # Y04081, is only compatible with roof racks that extend at least 3.5 inches past the tower. The factory roof rack for the 2007 Nissan Xterra is not a compatible fit. If you're looking for load-assist, the next best fit for your goals is to use a roller-style mount, like the Yakima HandRoll, part # Y04082-2. This rack will help you load by providing a set of rollers on the rear of the vehicle to help guide and support...

  • Will the Thule Raised Rail Roof Rack Fit a 2014 Nissan Xterra Pro4X
  • Yes, the Thule raised rail Kit parts # TH712100 and # TH710401 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Nissan Xterra Pro4X. This system actually has a 165 lb weight capacity total (not per bar) which will be the highest weight capacity we can offer you at this time. It will work well for your rooftop tent. I also recommend using locks # TH450400 to secure your investment. I have attached a sample install video for you as well. Don't forget to check out our rooftop tent selection which I have...

  • Fitting a Yakima Jaylow to a Nissan XTerra with Factory Crossbars
  • I contacted Yakima and the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073 is a confirmed fit for the 20112 Nissan XTerra's factory bars. I strongly recommend adding a Same Key System 2 Lock set, part # Y07202 to your JayLow to help improve the rack's security. Additionally, a set of Malone Quick-Lash loops, part # MPG308 can be extremely useful for quickly adding easy to access tie down points to your hood for the bow of your kayaks. They also work in the trunk's hatch, but are a little harder to tie to.

  • Troubleshooting Camper Brakes Locking Up With 2014 Nissan Xterra
  • From what you are describing, with the brakes locking up when you are trying to pull away with your 2014 Nissan Xterra, it sounds like the brake controller is wired incorrectly as opposed to an issue with Harness # 118266. It may be that the red wire from your controller is not wired to the cold side of the stop light switch. Use Circuit Tester # PTW2979 and find the wire that has power only when the brake pedal is pressed and connect it to the aforementioned red wire. Should that not...

  • Correct Solera Family Screen Room for an Awning Measuring 10' 10" Between the Arms
  • Yes, the Solera Family Room for 11' Wide RV Awnings # LC362226 would be the correct size screen room for your awning. RV awnings, are measured from the center of one arm to the center of the other arm. That measurement is the size awning that you have. Since you are getting 10' 10" between the arms, you likely have an 11' awning.

  • Should SumoSprings Be Centered Over 2011 Nissan Xterra Axle
  • If you installed either of the SumoSpring kits designed for your 2011 Nissan Xterra, part # SSR-210-40 or part # SSR-210-47, and the mounting bracket installed correctly and everything is seated as it should be, then I would say the helper springs are working as intended. If you installed a different kit on your Xterra or something was broken or out of place then that could be a contributing factor. We haven't installed either of these kits on an Xterra before so I have nothing to compare...

  • Will Air Springs Help a Rear Suspension on 2007 Nissan Xterra Towing a Trailer
  • Yes, the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs, part # AL59562, will work on our 2007 Nissan Xterra and help reduce the strain on your vehicle when towing a trailer. These springs have a load leveling capacity of 2,000 lbs, but you will need to remember it will not increase your vehicles weight carrying capacity.

  • Fitment for a Saris bike rack.
  • Yes the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches part # 63232 can be used for the Saris bike rack because it has a hollow 2"x2" shank. However, Saris does recommend anti-rattle devices specific to the rack that might work better. Let me know the rack that you have and I will research it for you.

  • 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.

  • Will the Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket Mount on a 2012 Nissan Xterra
  • Yes, the Yakima LoadWarrier Cargo Basket, # Y07070, will mount on your 2012 Nissan Xterra as long as you have crossbars that run side to side. If you do not have factory crossbars on your vehicle, then you will need to add a set of crossbars like the Thule SquareBar Roof Rack, parts # TH712100 and # TH710401. The Thule feet attach to the side rails that run front to back on your vehicle. I have also attached a photo of the Yakima LoadWarrior mounted on a 2009 Nissan Xterra factory roof rack.

  • Will the Rear Hatch on a 2003 Nissan Xterra Interfere with a Thule Force XT Cargo Box
  • I checked with Thule and the Force XT model that you referenced would interfere with the rear hatch on your 2003 Nissan Xterra but you can use the Pulse L, # TH615, and it will not interfere. The box will also fit the factory roof rack on the vehicle.

  • Fit of Kuat BA22B NV 2.0 Bike Rack with Curt 31514 Front Mount Receiver on 2008 Nissan Xterra
  • As long as your e-bikes weigh less 60 lbs each or less, your Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B bike rack will work great with the Curt # 31514 front mount receiver. I can't say for certain if the handlebars of the closest bike would clear the hood, but as you can see in the provided photo, the receiver sits at about the same level as the bumper fascia on the front of he vehicle. If you measure the above ground height of the handlebars, and then measure upwards that same distance from the underside...
