Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
Hi, Last year I purchased the Hidden Hitch Class III #87625 for my 2016 Nissan Pathfinder. At the time I believe it said that it could only tow 3500lbs. When I came back on to eTrailer to confirm that, I only see a Draw Tite # 76031, which looks exactly the same but has the ability to pull 6000lbs. The two look identical, shipping weights are the same and I have read that they are manufactured by the same company. I am hoping that I will not have to change the hitches as I am going to be picking up a new camper this week. Please help. In addition to that, I will also need to put trailer wiring on the car, can you suggest a kit? Tom

Expert Reply:
I really wish I could recommend you the ability to tow a heavier trailer than what your current trailer hitch says and it is true that Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch are actually the same hitches but if your hitch is older I can't safely say it's fine to tow heavier.
Also, you should really check the capacity of your Pathfinder in the owners manual everything I am seeing is a max of 5k.
For trailer wiring though you would want the part # 118273.
