Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Nissan Juke  

Question:

Expert Reply:

We do have trailer hitches and hitch mount cargo carriers that are compatible with your 2013 Nissan Juke. If you have the AWD model I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24867 but if you have the FWD model than I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24892. I like the Draw-Tite over the Curt for your application because Curt requires the stabilizer strap # 18050 be used with a cargo carrier. Although it doesn't hurt anything (and can be beneficial) it isn't required by Draw-Tite.

Then for a cargo carrier I recommend the 24x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier # E98874. I recommend this carrier because it is a cost-effective option that gives you a 2" rise in the shank to help with ground clearance and it has a folding feature to help reduce rear clearance when not in use. This carrier comes with an anti-rattle pin to help reduce play in the receiver which can be upgraded to locking with part # e99047. You can also add Reflectors # RE15RK and/or a Light Kit # 52014 for increased visibility. You will also need tie-downs like part # IMF12637 to secure your cargo. I have personally gone out and handled this carrier and I really like it.

Attached are some review videos that you can check out.

Is this suitable to pull a small pop up camper? Or is there a Class II hitch, which would be better for this purpose? Thank you!

As long as the camper is under 2,000 pounds, either the Draw-Tite # 24867 (for AWD models) or # 24892 (for FWD models) will work just fine. There isn't a higher-rated hitch available for your Nissan Juke. To pull a camper you'll also need a wiring harness to power the trailer lights. The Tekonsha T-One Harness # C56124 will work perfectly.
