Question:
2021 Nissan Armada with factory rails no crossbars. What is the widest rail outside to outside measurement of rail which this C18118 rack will fit over/on? I realize the bar is 53-3/8 inch long but the mounting points are less than that. Please advise? Thanks!

The maximum rail measurement for the Curt Roof Rack # C18118 is 50 inches, and while these are not confirmed to fit your 2021 Nissan Armada, even if you have the room, do not use this roof rack. The bars are a bizarre 2-1/8" wide x 7/8" tall crescent shape and we've found a number of accessories have a difficult time fitting properly.
It also has a 150 lb capacity, and there are better racks for your '21 Armada that are still economical, but that we know will fit, have more standard-sized crossbars, and a higher weight capacity. I definitely recommend going with one of those racks, and they are from Malone, and available in either 58" or 65" long crossbars:
- 58" Crossbars: Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Silver # MPG216 or Black # MAL84AR
- 65" Crossbars: Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Silver # MPG217 or Black # MAL24AR
These have the more standard 3" wide x 1" tall aero crossbars, a 165 lb weight capacity, and will 100% fit your Armada.
