Expert Reply:
The installation for hitches on the 2011 Altima has quite a lot of difference between the sedan and the coupe models.
I will use the Draw-Tite trailer hitches for an example. For the Sedan, the hitch I recommend is part # 24796. When installing this hitch you have to place the hitch against the bottom of the vehicle and center punch the mounting hole positions. Then you drill through the bottom of the trunk.
On the hitch that is used for the Coupe model, part # 24801, the hitch just bolts up to the frame under the vehicle. You do need to open the existing frame holes a bit to install the hardware, but this is a much easier installation than the Sedan.
I have attached both installation instructions you can check out.
