Recommended Hitch for a 2005 Nissan Altima

I'd recommend the Curt hitch # C11264. This hitch is the only hitch available for your Altima but it does require drilling for installation.

If you plan to do any towing, you will need a ball mount and a hitch ball. Depending on the rise or drop of the level height of what you will be towing, you would pick a ball mount. This small a hitch doesn't allow for an adjustable mount, so you'll have to make sure it fits a 1-1/4 receiver when you choose one. For a hitch ball, you will want either a 1-7/8" ball like # 19256 or a 2" ball like # 19258.

You will also need to wire your vehicle for a trailer. The wiring harness I recommend is # C59496 for your Altima.

If you use this hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will need to use the required support strap # 18050. This is required by Curt as an extra support.
