Question:
I drive a 2010 Nissan Maxima. Im more worried about the weight of the hitch itself, will this have any negative effect on tire wear or anything?
asked by: Dan
Expert Reply:
The Curt trailer hitch # C11352 for your 2010 Nissan Maxima weighs all of 35 pounds. No worries about the hitch affecting tire wear or ride height or really anything.
If you plan on doing some towing then you will also need ball mount # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you can use # A-80 and for a 2 inch ball use # A-82. And for trailer wiring you can use # 56022.
If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier the accessory must be compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. On a bike rack you are limited to carrying 2 bikes on a Class I hitch. And Curt requires stabilization strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads used with the hitch.
