Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Product is good, shipping sucks,hitch halfway out of box, left end of hitch bent about 2", had to reorder, needs better packing!!!!!



by: 12/22/2022

I’m hoping everything installs without problems. Looking forward to putting it on my truck. I bought the oem wiring harness and that all went perfectly. Thanks

Very well . And Nissan dealer wanted $1700.00 to do this job. That to me was way out of line . The wiring and hitch were only less than $300.0. I wired everything myself and that took only 40 minutes. Very good design. But was bent in the shipping. I finally had breakmasters do the install and it was a struggle for them also. But it finally came together. And I’m satisfied with the outcome.

Am very happy with the trailer hitch that I purchased. I had a little trouble getting it to mount on my truck and thought the hitch may have been bent, but after talking with a company representative who informed me that the hitch frame would flex slightly, I was able to clamp the hitch and get all bolt holes to align properly before removing my clamp. I have made 4 major hauls with my truck towing 8ft or longer trailers and have had no problems. Thank you ETRAILER for this product.



by:
2014 Nissan Frontier

I received the new hitch from e-trailer within a couple of days of ordering. I was able to install it the next day. My old hitch had a plate welded to it. I ground that off and bolted it to the new hitch. Everything went smoothly. The old bolts came out and the new hitch fit. I put "never seize" on the new bolts to be sure they would come out if ever needed.



by:

This works great. I got this to be able to haul a trailer one time but of course I can use it for future use. Easy to install.



by:
2023 Nissan Frontier

Easy install for one person. 2 tips: Screw bolts into and out of all holes before lifting hitch up. And, keep bolts loose until all 6 are started. Otherwise the last bolt may be difficult to start.



by:

Had my mechanic install this a.m. Much easier on a lift. Fit well and handled my trailer easily. Great price and shipping time.



by:
2023 Nissan Frontier

Received the hitch and installed it in 15 minutes tops. It was a breeze. Fits like a glove and it looks like it would from any dealership. I’m exceedingly pleased.



by:

The trailer hitch fitted perfectly into the space of the truck.



by:

This hitch is fantastic! Easily installed and I have Hooke it to every trailer I have. Pulls wonderfully!



by:

Fast shipping. I did not expect it to be so heavy, it weighs more than my trailer! ...and that's a good thing. Really solidly constructed.

I had it for a while before finally installing it. I was able to install it by myself using a couple of jack stands. It bolted right onto my 2013 Frontier without any problem. Highly recommend.

Shipped fast and fit perfectly to my 2022 Frontier. Side note, this had to be the easiest hitch install I’ve ever done. 6 bolts total and all are visible and easily accessible with just a socket wrench



by:

Had checked with two local trailer install companies that said $500.00 to $525.00 to install hitch and wiring. Ordered the hitch from e trailer, took me (with a little help from my wife) about 30 minutes to install. Only 6 bolts that went in to pre drilled and factory installed nuts Saved me over $300.00. Third hitch purchased from e trailer and all were perfect fit and great service.

Hitch is still tight and working great. Supports my heavy mobility scooter with no problem.



by:

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Best value and quality I found after all my research. Installation was a breeze just as promised by etrailer. Purchased the wiring harness kit as well and it went in flawlessly. Sales support was fantastic at time of purchase. Would certainly recommend any purchase from etrailer.

Mike

4/21/2023

Perfectly! Ive recommended E-Trailer to other family members and friends. Several of whom have gone ahead and purchased from E-Trailer. They are just as satisfied with the installation of both the hitch and the wiring harness. Thank you again.



by:

The trailer itself is fine. Unfortunately, this company doesn't believe in packaging their products properly or using a quality shipper. Not only ly did this take forever to arrive, the frame of the product was bent on arrival, and I can't bolt all of the screws to my truck frame. Really Unfortunate, when this part is this pricey. This is completely unacceptable.

Often times when the holes of the hitch and the vehicle do not line up, it is because the hitch has flexed during shipping. Because a hitches mounting brackets are made from mild steel, the mounting brackets can flex during shipping. If the entire hitch was rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. I do have a link below for your future reference.



by:
2022 Nissan Frontier

Excellent. I ordered this hitch, wiring harness and 4 pin wire mounting bracket.
Free shipping. Had it in 3 days. Some customers have commented about the hitch mounting holes alignment, the packaging, etc. I had ZERO issues. Could not be more happy with the overall experience. I will definitely shop again when I need any trailer related parts, and will be sure to recommend you guys to my friends. Here's a couple of photos

Installation was easy. Looks great and we'll made. Shipped fast. Couldn't ask for more.



by:

So far I've received and checked out the parts ordered. They arrived promptly and seem to be of excellent quality. Instructions enclosed seem adequate and I'm looking forward to a straight forward installation.



by:

Hitch was quickly received after ordering and installed without any issues on my 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro4X Crew Cab. I preferred this model for the cost savings and I did not need a bracket or mount for the 7 way plug on the hitch since I mounted it in the bumper.

Perfect fit, super ez install!

  • Trailer Wiring Fit For 2022 Nissan Frontier
    So you will need to access the 12 pin jumper plug in your Frontier's cab, which as you said is on the passenger’s side behind the kick panel. This is where you will install the harness and relays that activate the trailer tow package, and the correct harness for your 2022 Nissan Frontier, that does have those relays, is from Curt: - Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56225 Then, to finish the install of the # C56225, underneath your Frontier there are two places...

  • Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2019 Nissan Frontier
    We sure do! I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III receiver hitch, part # e98869. To complete your towing setup, you'll also need a # C56225 trailer wiring harness to provide a 4 pole connector. For a ball mount, use the # 2923 and for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball use # 19261 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. To see installation videos for the parts I recommended, click the provided links.

  • Parts Needed To Pull a Travel Trailer With a 2023 Nissan Frontier
    First the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869 will give you a receiver if you do not already have one on your 2023 Nissan Frontier. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118266 will provide you with a 7-way connector and the necessary relays to activate the factory wiring if you do not have a 7-way on your Frontier. I recommend adding the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR with the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED39FR. This will allow you to connect to the factory wiring...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack Work on a 2020 Nissan Frontier
    Yes, the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HR200Z will fit your 2020 Nissan Frontier as long as you have a hitch installed. Since your 2020 Nissan Frontier would have a 2" hitch, you would not need to use the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050. This is typically only required for 1-1/4" hitches. You could still use the strap for additional support, but there really is no great place to attach it on a truck. You would have to try and...

  • Finding Connector for Install of Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 2022 Nissan Frontier
    Sometimes you have to dig pretty far to find the connector behind the right kick panel of your 2022 Nissan Frontier to be able to install the Curt kit part # C56225 that you referenced. The connector has to be there though so I would recommend looking further till you find it.

    To add a hitch to your 2023 Nissan Frontier you are going to want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13241. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Frontier with included hardware. I really like the Curt hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper and the crossbar is completely hidden. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

    Both hitches are class 3 with 2x2 inch receiver openings and both can use weight distribution systems. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98869. A notable difference is the safety chain loops, on the etrailer hitch they are a horizontal welded loop under the receiver opening that will not take away from your ground clearance.

    It sounds like you are looking for a 1-1/4" class II hitch. The only hitches available for the 2022 Frontier are 2" class III hitches like item # e98869. Your Frontier has a higher capacity for towing than whatever vehicle you previously used your bike rack on so there are no lower capacity hitches. You can still use your 1-1/4" hitch bike rack with your Frontier though. The etrailer Hitch item # e98869 has a 500 lbs tongue weight capacity. You can use an adapter like item # e58YR to...

    The Tekonsha # 118266 will definitely fit a 2011 Nissan Frontier without issue. It includes all parts to get the 7 Way up and running. You will, however, need a few parts to get it attached to the hitch. The No Drill bracket # 18136 attaches to the cross bar of the hitch via a hose clamp, making it easy to get installed. The 7 Way bracket # PK12711U will then bolt to the # 18136. The 7 Way plug from the # 118266 will then bolt right onto the # PK12711U. The etrailer.com Class III Hitch...
