Recommended Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2012 Nissan Quest for Towing PWCs
Question:
Hello, Will this model be suitable for a jet ski? If not, which one is recommended? Thanks in Advance

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Class III receiver you mentioned, part # 75714 would be an excellent choice for towing a PWC with your 2012 Nissan Quest.
My research indicates that the towing capacity of your Quest is most likely 3500 lbs, which is plenty of capacity for towing a PWC. I would recommend you confirm the towing capacity by consulting your owners manual or by contacting Nissan.
To complete your towing system, you will also need the following:
Trailer wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector, part # 118547
Ball mount, part # 2753
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260
2 inch trailer ball, part # 19247
Pin and clip, part # PC3
Locking hitch pin, part # e98882
I have linked you to install details for the hitch I recommended as well as an install video. I have also linked you to the install instructions for the wiring harness.
