Installing Trailer Connector on 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
Im interested in purchasing your Curt 5000lb hitch for my 2013 Pathfinder and feel very comfortable with the hardware install, based on your install video. However, I see no where that it shows how to install a trailer wire plug in. Is there a part to do this? Or is it simple to do? Please Advise Thanks

According to my research, the 2013 Pathfinder should already have a 7-way trailer connector at the rear. If not, look under the vehicle for the trailer wiring. There should be a wire harness with a US car connector on the end, like what's shown in the provided photo. The connector will probably have a protective cap on the end.
The harness you found would plug into the trailer connector, part # HM40975. The connector is not a vehicle-specific item, so you'll need to devise a way of attaching the mounting bracket to the vehicle.
The installation should be pretty simple.
