Installing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24796 on 2018 Nissan Altima
Question:
Hello I drive a company car. Do I need to remove the muffler/exhaust system for this install? I dont want to damage anything on the vehicle.

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24796 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 Nissan Altima. For both this hitch and the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit, the installation process is relatively extensive. Installation will require that two 7/16 inch holes be drilled into the frame on each side of the vehicle (4 holes total). The muffler will also need to be temporarily removed but it will be re-installed once the hitch is in place.
I have attached an installation video on the 2017 model Altima so you can see the exact process. I have also attached the written installation instructions that you can take a look at. All the needed hardware is included.
