Best 2007 Dodge Nitro Hitch Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2007 Dodge Nitro.On top here, we're going to have our draw-tite hitch, and right below that we're going to have our curt. On our Nitro itself, we do have the draw-tite installed, and as you can see, that crosstube's going to be hidden right behind the bumper, and all we're really going to see is that receiver tube sticking out and giving it a nice, clean, finished OEM look.Since we saw the draw-tite on our Nitro and it is going to be concealed, all we're really going to see is this plate and then the receiver tube sticking out. Whereas with the curt, right about here, where we can see it sloping up towards the sides, this is going to be visible, and we are going to see that round tube going across, along with the receiver tube sticking out.The way we're going to mount our accessories on our hitches is they're going to use a standard 5/8ths pin and clip. They're not included in either one of our kits here, but you can pick one up on our website using part number PC3.If you notice the draw-tite's going to have a second hole towards the back of the receiver tube here, and that's going to be for the j-pin stabilization device. That's going to be nice, because it's going to apply pressure to that accessory on the inside, and it's going to keep it from rattling around and making noise when we're driving down the road.As far as weight capacity goes, our curt is going to have a 350 pound tongue weight, along with a 3,500 pound gross trailer weight rating. It is designed to work with weight distribution systems, and that'll bump up the tongue weight up to 500 pounds, and the gross trailer weight up to 5,000 pounds.The draw-tite is going to have quite a bit more weight rating to it. more
