Will Safety Straps of Curt 3-Bike Towing Rack Work on 2020 Nissan Pathfinder

Question:

Greetings. Will the stability straps on the Curt clamp-on bike rack 18013 fit the 2020 Nissan pathfinder AWD SV?. Will the clamps on the straps harm the finish on my Pathfinder? Do you have other light weight hitch bike racks without straps that will allow me to carry up to 3 bikes and tow a trailer at the same time? Thank you

Yes, your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is compatible and will work with the safety straps of the Curt bike rack you mentioned, which is the following part:

- Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts # C18013

The hooks are vinyl coated so they won't harm the finish on your Pathfinder at all. In regards to your other question, there isn't another option for a 3-bike towing rack without straps, though I'm confident you'll be happy with the Curt rack.

The only other thing I wanted to mention is that with a hanging rack like this one, if one of the bikes you want to carry has a step-through frame, or is a children's bike, you'll need to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point with the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500.
