Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • Will the Saris Bones Hold a Step Through Bike Without Needing an Adapter Bar?
  • Thats a nice looking bike! Unfortunately there aren't any trunk mount bike racks with dual arms like the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL with out an adapter bar like the Malone Bike Adapter Bar part # MPG2165. I wouldn't be too put off by it. It will take about ten seconds to install it. There is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV which will work out perfectly for your situation and allow you to get your bike where you want it without an adapter bar. I've included...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • For a one time roof rack use application you are going to want to go with an economically priced option. But since you will be traveling such a long distance you'll need an option that will be solid and safe. So the best option for that for your 2012 Nissan Altima 2 door would be the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK169.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrying Option for 2009 Nissan Altima
  • Inno offers an excellent, reasonably priced roof rack option for your Altima. For the square bar roof rack, you'd need the 46 inch long crossbars, part # INB117, the # INSUT roof rack feet and the # INK116 vehicle specific clamp kit. For a kayak carrier, use the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. It's a J-style but can also carry two kayaks at once. You'll need a second set of tie-downs for the other boat, part # Y04031. If you click the provided links, you can see some helpful FAQ articles about...

  • Does Trailer Hitch Install Require Drilling on 2015 Nissan Altima/Trunk Bike Carrier for 2015 Altima
  • All of the trailer hitches for your 2015 Nissan Altima require drilling for installation though none of them require welding. If drilling is a deal breaker there is another option. You could use a trunk mounted carrier. The Thule Passage # TH910XT is a good entry level bike carrier which includes anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from hitting each other or the back of the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have...

  • Easy to Install Tire Chains for a 2014 Nissan Altima with 215/60R16 Tires
  • The chains that are the easiest to install and that fit your 2014 Nissan Altima with 215/60-16 tires are the Konig "Easy Fit" # TH04115100 tire chains. They are Class-S compatible. I really think that once you put chains on and off several times that most of them are not too difficult. I would also check on the Titan Chain # TC335DC cable chains. All of the chains listed will provide excellent grip. The main differences are the quality of material and how the chains install. There is...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 3 Bikes for a 2017 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • Yes, you can use a 3-bike trunk mount bike rack on your 2017 Nissan Altima 4-door sedan. I have included a link to the options for you. I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I have an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount rack I have ever used. What makes it so easy are the 2 retractable cables it uses to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 straps like other carriers. The excess cable stores inside the carrier so there are no loose ends flapping around....

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • Both wiring harnesses for the 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan require a power wire ran to the battery and an in line fuse installed. It is absolutely necessary and the trailer wiring will not work without it. More and more cars are being made with thin wiring that is not capable of handling the added power draw of trailer lights. The powered converters virtually eliminate the power draw from the vehicle wiring protecting it and other electrical components from damage. Both wiring harnesses install...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • We do not currently(2/2023) have a hitch for your 2010 Nissan Altima coupe. The Draw Tite hitch part # 24879 only fits for the Sedan model of the Nissan Altima. We do have another way for you to carry bikes on your 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe. You could use a trunk bike rack like the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. Check out the attached video to see how the Saris works.

  • Solution For Transporting A Kayak On The Roof Of A 2012 Nissan Altima
  • I recommend installing an aero-style roof rack which are typically preferred since they are built to cut through the wind and are much quieter than other style roof racks. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 would be a nice option that is also affordable. You'll also need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK168 to install these crossbars. This system installs very simply onto your roof by clamping onto the door jams. It is not a permanent system and it can be installed or removed...

  • What Type of Clip Holds Pin of Lippert Lead Landing Gear Leg
  • We do in the lead leg repair kit part # LC146059 which is the correct kit for the part # LG-177202 that you referenced. The clip is a standard e-clip that you can find locally at a hardware store as well. That might be the route you would be better off going with unless you wanted to have spare parts to rebuild the leg in the future.

  • Can Dirt Bike Be Carried with Draw-Tite # 24796 Class I Trailer Hitch on 2010 Nissan Altima
  • With the Draw-Tite # 24796 200 lb tongue weight capacity, your bike plus the weight of the carrier should be no more than 200 lbs. If this is exceeded, you run the danger of the hitch or the hitch attachment points to the vehicle failing and the loss of your bike and its carrier as you're traveling. Which would be bad. The lightest carrier we offer, the #UF48-979033 weighs around 50 lbs, so that's going to need to be a pretty light bike to come in under that 200 lb figure. If the weight...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Compatible with 2007 Nissan Altima with Rear Spoiler
  • The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH45JV will be able to fit on your 2007 Nissan Altima with a rear spoiler. The FitDial allows you to position it to give you the clearance you need for your spoiler and then you will cinch the tie-down straps to secure it in that location. I've attached a video of this on a 2016 Nissan Altima with a spoiler to help you with the visual. This is a great option for you as it has the integrated locks to secure your bikes and...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Nissan Altima
  • The Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 is a great option for a trunk bike rack for your 2016 Nissan Altima. It will easily carry your two bikes and will not damage the painted surface of your vehicle as long as you keep the bike rack mounting pads and the paint of your vehicle clean. It also help to wax the vehicle where the rack will install too as that helps keep the paint protected. We recently test fit this rack on a 2016 Altima just like yours and it worked great. Check out the video link...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 2010 Nissan Altima With 1-1/4 Trailer Receiver
  • The Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier # FHG77ZR that you mentioned requires a 2" hitch receiver opening. The only receivers available for your 2010 Nissan Altima are 1-1/4", such as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796. In order to use the Flint Hill Goods carrier you will need to use Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # HTAD; this will convert your 1-1/4" receiver to 2". Keep in mind that this adapter will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if you are using the...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Altima 4 Door
  • You would first have to have a roof rack on your 2013 Nissan Altima to be able to carry kayaks. The roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK381 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I would then recommend a Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 for both of your kayaks as well. This is a J-style carrier that would fit the rack I recommended and would work well for both of your kayaks.

  • Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Altima
  • If your 2012 Nissan Altima is a 4-door model you will want to use the # DK168 Clamp kit and if you have a 2 door model you would want to use the # DK169 Clamp kit. So we we are both right and wrong depending on which vehicle you have! To complete the roof rack you would want the Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver bars, and foot pack # RRRLKVA.

  • Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
  • The recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2002 Nissan Altima with Spoiler
  • To use a trunk mount bike rack that can be positioned around the spoiler on your 2002 Nissan Altima you will want to look at models that have legs and arms that move independently from each other. The legs are what make contact with the vehicle and the arms are what holds the bikes. Even though the Expediton # HRF6-2 is a confirmed fit for your Altima, the arms are integrated into the upper legs so you won't have the adjustability needed to ensure that it goes over the spoiler and can...
