How Does Class III Hitch attach to Frame of 2013 Nissan Frontier
Question:
I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier and am interested in purchasing a class 3 trailer hitch. I noticed that when looking under my truck at the rear there are threaded holes in the frame - are these threaded holes intended for the installation of a trailer hitch? I watch the video and found it very helpful but it is unclear to me as to how the hitch is actual attached to the truck. Thank you for the video.

To install a Class III hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75282 on your 2013 Nissan Frontier you will use the existing weldnuts that are on the truck frame. The weldnuts are the threaded holes you have already found on the frame. I attached a picture that has a diagram that shows this for you to check out as well.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
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.
