Best Hitch For A 2020 Nissan Frontier
Question:
what is the difference between the etrailer hitch and the drawtite. Is drawtite worth the extra money.
asked by: Curt K
Expert Reply:
Both hitches are class 3 with 2x2 inch receiver openings and both can use weight distribution systems.
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98869. A notable difference is the safety chain loops, on the etrailer hitch they are a horizontal welded loop under the receiver opening that will not take away from your ground clearance.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75282 has welded on wire harness mount tab, this gives you a good location to secure your wire harness connections with Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144. If you look at the safety chain loops they are welded to the sides of the receiver and drop down below the tube, this gives you a more slender profile but takes away a couple inches of ground clearance.
