Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2002 Nissan Xterra  

Question:

I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra and will be adding a trailer hitch to it. Which wiring do I use? Do I need to get under the vehicle to see if it has that connector shown in the video? Or the other one that I splice in? Thanks

Expert Reply:

If you get under the 2002 Nissan Xterra and find the connector that you see in the install video for the # 118244 you would need first test it with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to see if the pins are active when you apply turn signals on your Xterra. If so, then yes this kit would fit.

If not, you would need to hardwire with the part # 119178KIT.

The Draw Tite hitch part # 75107 that you referenced as well is the correct hitch for your vehicle.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
