Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke FWD
Question:
Hi Team, I was pleased to hear that hitches are available for the Juke AWD. I want to confirm if this would also work for a FWD Juke w manual trans.

Expert Reply:
The front-wheel drive models of the 2011 Nissan Juke use different trailer hitches than the AWD models. For your FWD model I recommend # 24892. It has the same ratings as the one for AWD models just with a different design to fit the FWD models.
I checked the owner's manual for your 2011 Juke and it states not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. So 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. I have included links to Class I compatible cargo carriers and bike racks for you.
