Today on this 2010 Nissan Frontier we are going to be installing Curt hitch part number 13241. Okay, we are taking a look at the driver side frame rail here nearest the bumper. And we want to go ahead and point out the mounting holes for the trailer hitch. You can see we have three existing weld nuts here at the bottom of the frame. And we are going to be using those for our attaching points for our trailer hitch. And that is going to be the same on the passenger side as well. Into those weld nuts, we are going to be using the 12 millimeter bolts along with the conical tooth washers which are provided with the installation kit. And with that, we can pretty much go ahead and put the hitch up into position. However, if you notice that you have some road grime or corrosion built up in your weld nuts, you want to go ahead and thoroughly clean those out first. This is likely the case if you have a vehicle that has seen at least one winter. 0:43

These are weld nuts, but we are just going to be taking the bolts that were provided with the installation kit and throwing them up into there. A lot of times you will have some corrosion built up in these nuts. What I have already done is sprayed some spray lubricant like WD-40 up into there and cleaned them out really well so that the bolts can thread in there more easily. And once we have got the bolts cleaned out we can go ahead and put the hitch up into place.

And now we have got the plate in place along with the bolts, we can go ahead and put the hitch up into position. We just want to attach it with the nuts that are provided.





Nissan Frontier Trailer Hitch Questions and Answers
