Trailer Hitch Receiver & 4-Way Wiring For Carrying a Bike Rack or Cargo Carrier On 2023 Nissan Kicks

Question:

My wife has a new 2023 Nissan kicks and would like to get a hitch mount. It’s purpose would be to mount a bike rack or rear carrier platform. I know they have them for the 2022. Will there soon be one available?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11563 has been confirmed to fit your new 2023 Nissan Kicks. This is a class I receiver with a 1-1/4" opening for hitch mounted accessories. You will need to ensure you use hitch mounted accessories specifically made to work with a class I receiver.

The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is a great bike rack which is easy to use and rated to work with your class I receiver. It weighs just 45lbs and is capable of carrying 2 bikes up to 65lbs each. A 36" ramp is included to make loading and unloading your bikes much easier.

The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 is safe to use with your class I receiver. The carrier weighs 30lbs and has a tray which is 47-3/4" long x 19-11/16" wide x 2-11/16" tall.

I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C46CR when you install the receiver. This will allow you to easily connect Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if your bikes or gear on your carrier impair the view of the tail lights on your Nissan. It can also be used later down the road if you decide to tow a small trailer.
