Question:
I have a 2018 Nissan sentra and I want to put a receiver hitch on this car cause I have a mobility chair carrier that will plug into the receiver hitch and allow me to put me chair on the carrier and strap it down and it has a mesh metal ramp that flips up and locks in with pull pin locks the chair weighs 250 lbs by itself this hitch should more than hold the weight I dont want it to drag I dont think it will

Expert Reply:
The problem with the hitches that fit the 2018 Nissan Sentra is that they are lower in capacity than what you'd need so you would have to tow a small trailer for your chair that weighs 250 lbs. Since the vehicle is lighter duty the hitches made for it like the Curt # C11349 only have a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs.
So to tow a trailer you'd need wiring to for the lighting which for that we have the # 118582 which is custom fit and very reliable.
To use a carrier you'd have to go with a higher rated tow vehicle like a SUV or even a truck.
