etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder- Video
Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver here on our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. So, here's what our trailer hitch looks like installed. It has what's known as a hidden design, meaning that the cross tube is actually gonna be tucked up behind the bumper here. Now, this does a couple different things. Number one, it provides us with the best ground clearance, because the receiver tube sits closely to the bottom edge of the bumper fascia. And number two, it provides the best overall aesthetics, because we have more of a factory look there, with most of the trailer hitch being hidden. more

Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder- Video
Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the CURT trailer hitch receiver, here on our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. So this is what our trailer hitch is gonna look like installed, but something I really like about this particular one, is that it has a hidden design. So, what this means is the cross tube that attaches to the receiver in each frame bracket, is actually hidden up behind the bumper there, therefore giving us the best overall factory-like appearance. It's also gonna provide the best ground clearance because the receiver tube is tucked up nice and tight underneath the bumper. So if we take a closer look, we're gonna see a durable black powder coated finish, which is gonna help, one, blend in with the bumper well, and two, it's gonna help protect it from rust and corrosion, being that it's on the bottom of the vehicle here. We're also gonna have a nice rounded collar on our receiver tube opening. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder - Draw-Tite- Video
Today on our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, we'll be having a look at and installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, part number 76031. Here's what our hitch looks like installed. As you can see, it's nice and tucked up underneath our rear fascia here, giving us optimal ground clearance and hiding most of the body of the hitch underneath the fascia itself, giving us a nice, clean look. On the side of our hitch here, we'll see our standard 5/8 of an inch diameter hitch pin hole and towards the rear, we'll have our J Pin stabilization device hole. J Pin stabilization device will take some of that annoying shake, play and rattle out of what's inserted into your receiver such as your bike rack or your cargo carrier. Down on the bottom here, we have some nice, large, easy to use safety chain loops on a plate welded to the bottom of the receiver and the frame. Off to the driver's side, we have this nice attachment point here that's welded onto the hitch, giving us a place to mount our 4-pole flat trailer wiring or our 7-way RV wiring, or whatever other trailer wiring that we have on our vehicle. This hitch features a 900 pound max tongue weight rating and a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. more

Best 2017 Nissan Pathfinder Hitch Options- Video
Today on our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder we'll be looking at our best hitch options. Starting at the top, we have the Draw-Tite class 3 hitch, part number 76031. On the bottom we have the CURT class 3 hitch, part number C13126. Here are our two hitches. Now the biggest difference that we have between our two hitches here today is how they're going to look on the vehicle once they're installed. If you note, our CURT hitch here is a straight construction across the frame, whereas our Draw-Tite hitch drops down. Now this is where our Draw-Tite hitch will be exposed underneath our vehicle, whereas our CURT, the entire frame of the hitch is hidden behind the bumper cover. more
