Up top here, we're going to have our Draw-Tite's inaudible 00:00:13 class one hitch and right below that we're going to have our Curt which is also going to be a class one hitch.

But before we get into exactly which one I would pick, let's go over a few of the features and see which one's going to stand out to you the best.Like I mentioned before, both of our hitches are going to be a class one. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Nissan Altima - Curt- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Nissan Altima we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Class I Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, Part number C11352.So here's what our hitch is going to look like once we have it installed. That cross tube is going to sit right below the bumper, but the main thing we're going to see is the receiver tube sticking out. Now it is a class one which means it's going to give us that inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening and it's going to be great for bike racks or even cargo carriers.As far as the safety chain connection points go, it's going to be a plate style welded to the bottom of the receiver tube and as you can see we're not going to have too much trouble getting most size hooks on or off and slight off set from our hitch pin hole means we're not going to have to worry about interference with our hooks, with a locking device or the hitch pin itself.Our hitch is going to have a 200 pound towing weight, which is going to be the maximum downward force at the receiver tube. It's also going to have a 2000 pound gross trailer weight rating which is the amount it can pull including the trailer and everything you have loaded on it. Now with all those numbers in mind, you always want to double check your Nissan's owner's manual and never exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight. Now if you do plan on doing some light duty towing, keep in mind there are specific ball mounts available and designed for this hitch, and you can pick them up here at etrailer.com.There are two euro style draw bars with permanently attached balls on them. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Nissan Altima - Draw-Tite- Video
Today on our 2016 Nissan Altima, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the draw-tite sports frame class 1 trailer hitch receiver. This offers the inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter opening, its part number is 24796. All right, now here's what our hitch is going to look like installed on our Altima. As you can see, we kind of have that cross tube that's going to come across the rear here, not quite hidden up behind the inaudible 00:00:24 but I think standing behind the vehicle you're not going to see it too much. It's going to come to the center here where we've got our inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening. It's a class 1 hitch, this is going to be perfect for your small hauling needs, smaller bike racks, smaller cargo carriers, things like that. See our safety chain connection loops around the bottom here that'll allow you to connect maybe a bike lock, safety chain connections, whatever you need, it's pretty nice and open. Now, to secure all your items, you're going to use the half inch diameter pinhole, this is going to work out really well for whatever class 1 accessory you should choose, there's plenty of room whether it's a locking hitch pin or anti-rattle bolt, whatever you might need. Now when it comes to weight ratings on our hitch, we have a 200 pound tongue weight rating, so that's the maximum downward force we can put here at the receiver tube opening, and it's going to give us a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. That's going to be the total weight of our trailer and anything that we we're to load up on it. more
