Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13183 Fit a 2001 Nissan Xterra with a 17 Inch Spare Tire
Question:
Hello, Im curious what is the largest size spare tire possible with this trailer hitch? I believe the stock Xterra tires were 28 or 29 inches. I have a 30 or 31 inch spare tire. Would I still be able to install this hitch and keep the spare tire in place after the installation?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you have the 17 inch spare tire on your 2001 Nissan Xterra. The Curt trailer hitch, # 13183, will fit if the vehicle has the 17 inch spare. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you will be doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
For trailer wiring, there are 2 options. If it came with a tow package use # 118244. If it did not come with a tow package, use # 119178KIT. I have included links to the installation details for each wiring harness.
