Is Drilling Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
Question:
The page indicates that this is compatible with the 2013 nissan altima sedan model. The installation instructions seem to indicate this is for nissan altima couple there is no nissan altima coupe version for 2013. I have a 2013 nissan altima sedan SV. Will drilling be required?

The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24796 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan. Drilling is required for installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions as well as a link to a video showing a typical installation for you to view.
All of the trailer hitches that will fit your Altima will require drilling. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount to use is # 3594. Fora 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
