Compatibility of Curt Euro-Style Ball Mount w/ Draw-Tite Class I 24796 on 2010 Nissan Maxima

Question

Question:

Hi I noticed when the Curt was installed on the Maxima the height was 10 and1/4 inch and the receiver was set back 7inch I would like to install the Draw Tite hitch and use the Curt euro mount receiver bar 1and7/8 for my 2010 Maxima and wanted to know if that configuration will work.

When we installed the Draw-Tite # 24796 on a 2009 Nissan Maxima, we found that the hitch height and the setback was the exact same as the Curt # C11352 you referenced. This being said, the Euro-style ball mount won't work with the Draw-Tite hitch.

A Class I hitch has the hitch pin hole recessed further back in the receiver than a Class II hitch would be. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch punch or weld a stop into the receiver so a Class II rated accessory can't be slid into the receiver far enough for the hitch pin holes to line up. This is done as a safety measure. This is what would happen if you attempted to use the Euro-style ball mount in the Draw-Tite # 24796.

This is why you don't want to use any other ball mount than the one recommended by the hitch manufacturer, part # 3594. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use part # 19256 or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. To wire your vehicle for towing, use the # 118470 trailer wiring harness.

I've linked you to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness.

Since you like the Curt #C11352 for your 2009 Altima and it's just as tucked to the rear bumper of the vehicle as the Draw Tite it would be the way to go. These hitches are thoroughly tested so as long as you are under the weight capacity of the…
