• Does The Curt Hitch 13088 Require Drilling To Be Installed On A 1996 Nissan Pathfinder?
  The Curt # 13088 will require absolutely no drilling to get installed on your 1996 Nissan Pathfinder. This will bolt right into factory weld nuts that are already in your frame, so it's a nice easy install. With that being said, these weld nuts can get clogged up with debris over time, so you may need to clean them out before the install. This is pretty common and all you need to do is soak them with WD40 and then scrub them out with something like the Nylon Tube Brush # 814092. This is...

• Bike Rack Options for Carrying Up to 4 Bikes on 2001 Nissan Pathfinder Without Hitch Receiver
  What will determine the best bike rack option for your 2001 Pathfinder is the number of bikes you need to transport. If only 2 bikes, then a trunk-mount type will be your most cost-effective option. If you need to transport as many as 4 bikes, then a hitch receiver and hitch-mount rack make more sense; with this much of a weight load the hitch-type rack will allow that burden to be carried by the vehicle's frame, which is its strongest part. Trunk-mount racks put the weight burden on parts...

• Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2001 Infiniti QX4
  You'd want to consider what the trailer has most importantly as that will dictate what style of connector would be the best for you. The most common is a 4-way and 7-way which for your 2001 Infiniti QX4 would call for the 4-way part # 118361. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes...

• Will the Trailer Hitches for a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder Fit Around the Spare Tire
  There are no known fit issues with the Draw-Tite hitch # 36222 and the factory spare tire on the 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. If you have a larger than factory sized spare, there could be fit problems. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch for you. This is a Class II trailer hitch, the only one available for the vehicle, which may be why it looks different. Class II trailer hitches have a lower capacity than Class III hitches, so you will be limited in what you...

• Difference Between Curt 13088 Square and Curt 13156 Round Tube Trailer Hitches
  The two hitches you mentioned are very similar in size and installation. When comparing round and square hitches, round tube hitches are usually sleeker compared to square hitches. Any hitch for your Pathfinder will stick out past the bumper. I looked at our other hitch options like Draw-tite, and they stick out too. With these older Pathfinders, the extra bumper clearance is necessary to avoid obstruction. With the options available, I would go with the Curt Round Tube # C13156 if your...

  For your 2007 Ford Ranger, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # 13019. This hitch is reasonably priced, but still provides a full 4000 lb towing capacity/ 400 lb tongue weight capacity.
