Expert Answers about Nissan Frontier


  • Troubleshooting A 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness That Isn't Sending Braking And Turning Signals
  • Since the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118281 is a quick plug and play style connection I would first check the pins in each connector and ensure none are bent, missing, and that there isn't any debris blocking the connections. You can use some Dielectric Grease # 11755 to ensure a proper and waterproof connection. Next you can test the pins at the 7-way using a tester like the # PTW2992 to see if the signal is being sent or is getting lost somewhere before...

  • 2021 Nissan Frontier Tail Gate Lift Assist
  • No, The DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 is not confirmed to fit your 2021 Nissan Frontier. We have no custom lift assists for your vehicle. We do have a universal Hopkins Lift Assist # 74211, but it is not confirmed to fit a 2021 Nissan Frontier. I spoke with Hopkins and they as well could not confirm it to fit a 2021 Nissan Frontier. They did state though that for it to work the tailgate must be removable and be at least 62 inches wide and 19 inches tall. I attached a review video...

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring Connector and Brake Controller for Sailboat Trailer with Electric Brakes
  • For your 2007 Nissan Frontier, I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 along with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This wiring kit will connect to your 4-way and give you the ability to add the brake controller function as well as others to give you a 7-way compatible with your sailboat trailer. This brake controller will give you the manual override to give you trailer braking using the manual override. I recommend...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness With 4-Pole Connector Recommendation for a 1999 Nissan Frontier
  • I would recommend the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118362, that you referenced for your 1999 Nissan Frontier. This wiring harness is easy to install and will connect to the vehicle connector located underneath the truck bed along the passenger side frame rail. This wiring harness will provide you with a 4-way flat trailer connector that will provide stop, turn and tail lights for your trailer with dual element bulbs. I have attached the installation instructions for you to review.

  • Trailer Lights are Not Working on a Boat Trailer Towed by a 2007 Nissan Frontier with Tow Package
  • To rule out the wiring harness on your 2007 Nissan Frontier as the problem, you can test it using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. Test the pins on the 4-Way end to make sure all functions are working properly. If they are then that indicates an issue on the trailer side. If they are not, then you could have a faulty wiring harness. The # C59496 is actually not the recommended harness for your truck, though it could be used. For a 2007 Nissan Frontier with factory tow package,...

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Nissan Frontier Towing a 16-1/2 ft Boat
  • For a hitch for your 2009 Nissan Frontier I would recommend you get a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75282. This hitch will install onto the frame of your vehicle which will provide a much stronger attachment point then what the Curt Hitch # E-3S, which you may not need for your 16-1/2 foot boat, but in the future if you ever wanted to pull something heavier. You will need to know your vehicles towing capacities (listed in the owners manual) and the weight of your trailer to know if your vehicle...

  • Which Wiring Harness is Needed For 2010 Nissan Frontier Without the Factory Tow Package
  • On the 2010 Nissan Frontier, if the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package it will not have a functioning wiring harness even if the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 118263, is added. There will be relays that will need to be inserted to make the trailer wiring harness fully functional. The relays are not normally included on a vehicle if it does not have the factory tow package. Usually, the relays would be installed in the relay box under the hood if it came with the factory...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Ameri-Lite 17BW Camper with 3900 lb GVWR
  • The 400 lb hitch/tongue weight figure you provided represents the dry tongue weight of the trailer, which doesn't include the weight of the propane or water in the tanks, any of the gear/supplies loaded in the trailer or the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle. Since the travel trailer has a GVWR of about 3900 lbs, the tongue weight could be as much as 600 lbs if loaded all the way to capacity or as little as 400 lbs, so I'd recommend choosing a system that spans...

  • Hitch Size Recommendation for 2014 Nissan Frontier
  • Is there a reason you need the smaller hitch size? For your vehicle there are only the larger hitch size of 2 inch which the Draw Tite part # 75282. Most of the time people are wanting the larger hitch size like this. This hitch size has higher capacities and has more accessories made for it so it generally preferred.

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working when Connected to a 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • The relays for the trailer wiring on your 2006 Nissan Frontier can indeed go bad. On some Nissan vehicles there is another relay that is often needed so it is possible that it is missing or that one went bad. It is one of the blue relays included in the Curt Relay Kit # C59000. The easiest way to test for a bad relay is to use a known good one in its place. I have included a link below on troubleshooting wiring as well that will also help in testing to find the problem.

  • Lug Nut Wheel Lock for Trailer with 14 inch Wheels
  • Based on the tire size I was able to read on the sidewall of your tire which indicates you have 14 inch diameter wheels you'd have a standard 1/2 inch wheel stud on your trailer so for a lock the part # RG01-150 would fit and work great. Since you need to lock a total of 6 wheels you'd need to order a quantity of three of these.

  • Recommended Front Hitch for a 2019 Nissan Frontier
  • Yes, there are. To add a front mount hitch to your 2019 Nissan Frontier you're going to want the Curt item # 31241. This front mount hitch has a 2" receiver and bolts to your Frontier with included hardware. This hitch has a line pull capacity of 9,000 lbs, a vertical load limit of 350 lbs, and it can pull a trailer weighing up to 3,500 lbs. I really like this hitch because it mounts directly below the front fascia. I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures...

  • The Prodigy P3 brake controller # 90195 is a really great brake controller. All you need to use is the part # 3050-P which plugs under the dash of the truck. I attached an install video for this controller and harness on a similar 2017 Nissan Frontier as yours.

  • Will SumoSprings SSR-610-54 Work for Towing RPod 195 With 2013 Nissan Frontier
  • Since you'll only need to support the tongue weight of your RPod 195, the 1000 lbs of support provided by the # SSR-610-54 SumoSprings you've already purchased would work just fine. The dry tongue weight for your travel trailer is listed at around 350 lbs, so when it's loaded and ready to toy it'll still be well under 1000 lbs. I've linked to a product description video for the SumoSprings.

  • What All is Needed to Flat Tow 2016 Nissan Frontier
  • To flat tow a vehicle the right way isn't exactly inexpensive and it's hard to give an exact figure since you have to factor in the prices of everything, shipping, and also whether or not you'll have someone install the parts too which adds to the cost. Also there's the variable of if you'll need to also install a driveshaft disconnect (which we don't offer) which is needed if you have an automatic transmission truck. Here's a list of everything you'll need minus the driveshaft disconnect: Base...

  • 2012 Nissan Frontier Flickering Lights, No Trailer Brake Light Flashing
  • It is very possible that if the trailer wiring is hardwired into the truck it's overloading the factory circuits. For your 2012 Nissan Frontier I would recommend the Curt T connector trailer wiring # C56225. This harness comes with the necessary relays that will need to be installed to activate the towing circuits. By adding the trailer lights to the Frontier's factory circuits it most likely is putting too much of a load on that particular circuit. You can check the signals coming out...

  • How to Install the Hopkins HM43534 7 Way Adapter On a 2014 Nissan Frontier
  • The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM43534 is actually a plug and play option for your 2014 Nissan Frontier. Though this will come with a bracket to attach it to the bottom of the bumper or in some other way, you may be able to mount it in the hole you already have in said bumper. The holes will measure 2-1/2 inches from center to center when going across horizontally, so if this matches the mounting holes you already...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for a Magic Tilt Boat Trailer
  • For your Magic Tilt boat trailer I recommend the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # C17499. You will want to be more concerned with your trailer's tongue weight than maximum capacity when selecting a weight distribution hitch. Tongue weight is typically 10% -15% of your trailer's total weight. The TruTrack has a tongue weight range of 500 lbs - 800 lbs so this would be perfect for your needs. The TruTrack helps prevent sway by friction in the Trunnion bars...
