Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2006 Nissan Altima  

Question:

Expert Reply:

For smaller vehicles like your 2006 Nissan Altima there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available. Your best option would be a new bike rack that fits this size as well as a 2 inch if you have a vehicle with a 2 inch hitch as well.

For a hitch for the Altima you would want the Draw Tite part # 24788 which is a confirmed fit and unlike the Curt hitches it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
