Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 24867 Fit 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo?
Question:
It says that the hitch will not work for Nismo models, but the very first customerinch picture shows it on a black Nismo the Nismo model has a different bumper - dead giveaway is the red reflector in the middle of it. So why does it say you cant use it on a Nismo model when you can clearly see it on a Nismo model in the photos?

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24867 is not confirmed to fit the 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo or Nismo RS models. This doesn't necessarily mean that it won't fit, and can mean that has not been tested.
You are correct that the picture in question is a Nismo model, and a few customers have installed the # 24867 on their Nismo models. It seems that the main issue is the hitch pushing up on the bumper, and needing to change the exhaust hangers as you can see from this customers review:
"I did this on my 2013 awd nismo. A couple of problems I ran into. 1. it pushes up 1/4 inch on the rear fascia 2. These hangers let a lot of movement in the exhaust. So much that barley pushing left or right the exhaust hits the hitch assembly. I havent noticed any hitting while driving yet. I will keep an eye out there for a better solution I just dont like how loose the hangers are. Just wanted to leave a comment. Idk if this will be everyones experience. Just what I ran into. Yet to tow anything with it"
It is up to you if this is something you think will work for your application, since it hasn't been confirmed and may not work as designed.
I included a video of the # 24867 being installed for you to take a look at.
