Best 2012 Dodge Nitro Hitch Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2012 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. Now on our Nitro itself we do have the Draw-Tite installed. 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 and all we're really going to see is this plate and then the receiver tube opening 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.Now the way we're going to mount our accessories on our hitches is they're going to use a standard 5/8 pin and clip. Now they're not included in either one of our kits here but you can pick one up on our website using part number PC3.Now if you noticed, the Draw-Tite's going to have a second hole towards the back of the receiver tube opening here. That's going to be for the j-pin stabilization device. more
