  • Comparing the Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2006 Nissan Frontier
  • The Tow Ready Wiring Harness, # 118263, is designed to fit your 2006 Nissan Frontier as long as it has the factory tow package. On the other hand, Hopkins lists the # 33525, as a fit for all models of the 2006 Nissan Frontier. From what we have found, though, if the vehicle does not have the tow package, you will still need a relay available from the dealer in order to allow it to function. If your Frontier does not have the tow package, I recommend using the Curt Harness, # C56225, which...

  • Differences Between the etrailer.com Hitch Part # E98858 and Curt Hitch part # 13534
  • The only difference between the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98858 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13534 which are both fits for your 2008 Toyota Highlander is that the Curt hitch will require the use of the Support Strap part # 18050 for all non-towing applications whereas the etrailer.com will not. For the exception of the support strap they are identical. I have attached as install video on the Curt trailer hitch for you as well but the install process will...

  • Trunnion Bars vs Round Bars & Ground Clearance
  • The round bar extends about 2-1/2 inches below the weight distribution head, while the trunnion bar does not extend below the weight distribution head at all, as you can see in the side-by-side photo I edited for you. This is why we recommend folks that have vehicles with low ground clearance like minivans and compact trucks go with a trunnion bar system.

  • Can I Use a Wheel That is an Inch Narrower Than my Current Wheel
  • A 215/75R14 tire, like the Provider # TTWTRTM2157514D, will fit 14 inch wheels that have widths of 5-1/2 inches, 6 inches, 6-1/2 inches, and 7 inches. I have attached a link to a helpful article which shows what width of certain wheels that different size tires are compatible with. Keep in mind that when you measure a wheel, you will be measuring from bead seat to bead seat. (see attached video) The most ideal situation would be to get the most narrow wheel that you can as it will cause...

  • Best Hitch For A 2020 Nissan Frontier
  • 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. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75282 has welded...

  • Truxedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau Cover Compared to the Vanish Roll Up for a 2010 Nissan Frontier
  • The biggest advantage the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX592301 has over the Vanish Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # 834532007950 is that it automatically keeps the correct amount of tension in the cover using spring loaded tensioners. The # 834532007950 requires manual adjustments that would not be too difficult or time consuming but it would be one more thing to keep track of on your 2010 Nissan Frontier. Other than that the two will function and store very similarly. I attached...

  • Difference Between Tow Ready and Hopkins 4-Way to 5-Way Adapters for 2012 Nissan Frontier
  • The difference between the Tow Ready # 20036 and the Hopkins # 47515 is just the company that manufactures them. They perform the same functions and aside from the Tow Ready having a little bit of wiring between the 4-Way and 5-Way plus it coming with some zip-ties there isn't anything different about them. I like the design of the Tow Ready a little more just because that extra bit of wire gives you some flexibility for the install plus you can use one of the zip-ties and some electrical...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement for a 2018 Nissan Frontier with Factory Ride Quality
  • In regards to suspension enhancements for a 2018 Nissan Frontier, you have a few options but there are none from SuperSprings. The best option for unloaded ride quality would be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2558. However, if you don't want the maintenance upkeep of the airbags then the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORTUN4L are a great second best option. They can engage if you go over a big bump but aside from this they will retain a mostly factory...

  • Comparing Blue Ox, Curt, and Fastway Weight Distribution for Starcraft Launch Hybrid
  • When it comes to weight distribution, tongue weight is the most important factor. It looks like you are ahead of the game and accounted for that with each of these systems, great job. I would still recommend finding your actual tongue weight once your trailer is loaded up. You can use a tongue weight scale like the # e99044 or the bathroom scale method to find this. Starting with the Curt # C17051, I would definitely not recommend this over the Blue Ox or Fastway. As you pointed out, this...

  • Difference Between Redarc Tow-Pro Elite & Tow-Pro Liberty For 2022 Nissan Frontier
  • The biggest difference between the two Redarc brake controllers is that the Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR has a proportional control and user controlled mode you can switch between, while the Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR has just the proportional mode. The proportional mode is for everyday, normal towing - your trailer brakes will activate at the intensity which you decelerate, and gives them the appropriate power for that deceleration. User controlled mode applies the same amount of braking power...

  • Difference in Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches and the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow
  • The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitch, # K2AVAL8219ELT on your 2017 Nissan Frontier uses an electric actuator raise and lower the plow whereas the Detail K2, # K2AVAL8219 uses an electric winch. The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow, # K2AVAL8219ELT has an internal clutch that prevents damage caused by overextension of the actuator. It also uses a chain instead of a strap on the other model. For a front mounted hitch on your 2017 Nissan Frontier, I suggest the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer...

The Draw-Tite has a higher towing and tongue capacity. It has a glossy protective coat and paint job, compared to the matte finish of the etrailer hitch.

  • What is Difference Between etrailer Brake Assemblies AKEBRK-35R-SA and AKEBRK-35R
  • The difference is the etrailer brake assemblies # AKEBRK-35R are manual adjust brake assemblies whereas the part # AKEBRK-35R-SA are self adjusting. Self adjusting is the way to go as you never have to worry about adjusting the assemblies. You don't even really have to an initial adjustment either as they will continuously tighten until they are properly adjusted giving you one less thing to worry about. Both of these are the correct fit behind the Dexter trailer hub 8-147 # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K.
