How to Mount a 7-Way Connector on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with the Curt Hitch # C13309
Question:
First, thank you Jon for answering my hitch question. I have one regarding a tranny cooler: Bigger is usually better when trying to cool something. The chart shows for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, that a D13503 class III is a custom fit, but the 13504 class IV is not. Im wondering if I can install the 13504 on my 2017 Pathfinder? The AC condenser measures 28X18. Is there some incompatablilty issue I am not aware of? Thanks again,

If you were to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309 on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder then you would need to mount the Curt T-Connector # C56357 directly to your rear bumper fascia using the mounting bracket # PK12711U. To avoid this you can use the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58000 instead.
Since the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76031 does sit below the rear bumper fascia you would be able to use the no-drill mounting bracket # C57202 along with the part # PK12711U.
The Curt T-Connector # C56357 installs in the same was as the Tekonsha T-One # 118273. If you check out the installation video of this wiring installed on a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder you can see that it is a plug and play option but you will need to remove some of the panels inside to install the relays.
