Question:

Hi, considering S 64670 and S 64031 for 2014 Nissan Leaf on Curt 1.25inch receiver hitch do you anticipate any issues with the antirock pin/lock fitting? Seems that several customers had frustrating experience although it may have been limited to those with OEM-installed racks. Thanks, Steve

Expert Reply:

On your 2014 Nissan Leaf, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11396 which is a confirmed fit. This hitch will require stabilization strap # 18050 when used with any non-trailer load, like a bike rack.

The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64670 is confirmed to work with this hitch and the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031 is a great combination for this system. The only complaint we get about this pin has nothing to do with the function, but some don't like the length.
