Question:
Will it fit? Also what cargo bag do you recomend and what type of tie downs?
asked by: Teresa C
Expert Reply:
The Curt cargo carrier, # C18145, will fit in a 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch trailer hitch (Class II and III) so provided your 2011 Nissan Pathfinder has a Class II or III hitch the carrier will fit. To make sure it clears the rear of the vehicle, measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the vehicle straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 6 inches, the carrier will clear the rear bumper.
For a cargo bag, you can use the Highland bag, # 1041700. This bag has its own attachment straps to secure it to the carrier. It has 13 cubic feet of space.
To secure other cargo, nothing beats a good set of ratchet straps like # EM34420.
