Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 1998 Nissan Frontier

Question:

I want to verify fitment before purchasing. My truck is a 1998 Nissan Frontier 2WD Standard Cab Long Bed. There are no existing holes in frame. I assume that I will need to drill all four holes. Need to make sure that the hitch extends back far enough to clear the bumper. Please advise. Thanks!

Good idea to check, and I can verify for you that the Curt trailer hitch does indeed fit your 1998 Nissan Frontier:

- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75186

If you do not have holes in the frame rails (some models of this generation Frontier did not), then you are correct that you will need to drill the holes to mount the hitch, but I did verify for you that this is a fit.

I also wanted to add, in case you plan on doing some towing, that if you need a wiring harness, the correct fit for your '98 Frontier is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118362.

To mount the 4-way to your hitch you will just need the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140 with Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.
