The main difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13309 and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76031 for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is appearance. The Curt hitch has a hidden design so the crosstube is hidden behind the bumper and the Draw-Tite hitch has a visible crosstube so it will be shown below the bumper. The hidden design offers better ground clearance and looks better overall so this is what I recommend.

I have attached an install video I did below as well.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
