Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Tech Tip
No drilling through vehicle frame required for installation , Front air dam will have to be trimmed or removed

The hitch was finding its way out of the box by the time it was delivered, but did not seem to be damaged. All the hardware was still attached. Bolts on to the truck (2022 Nissan Frontier) easily after removing the factory tow hooks. The hardest part was finding the hidden screws to remove the front lower valance panel. Trimming a little at a time made for a perfect fit to reinstall the valance.
Easy to install. The only drawback I see is on my 2022 Pro4x model I had to remove the red tow hooks and silver front skid plate because the hitch takes their place.
Box not damaged, all hardware was present nothing missing. Frame is really heavy duty, not imitation China metal. Ease of installation , no drilling fab work etc. great product, love that I didn’t have to hack my frame, cut my bumper etc. great product
2023 Nissan Frontier. Hitch fits like a glove. Air Dam needs to be trimmed significantly.
Haven’t had a chance to use the front hitch on our Nissan Frontier year but the installation was quick and easy. I was all set to knock the installation out in 20 minutes until one of the split lock washers failed and had to be replaced out of my spare stock. Also an additional note: the hitch showed up heavily scratched despite the packaging having been in good condition. Maybe some more careful handling at the warehouse is in order.
The oval holes for the mounting bolts needed to be filed slightly. It seems the holes were cut prior to bending the steel. The oval hole ends up with sides that are not 90 degress due to the bending process. Because of this I suggest making the holes 1mm wider on each end.
There is also a grinding mark throught the powder coat on one end. It is on the face side of the hitch. It exposes the steel to corrosion.
I am very satisfied with the hitch. I use it for a snowplow that I built for the front of my truck and have used it to move my small RV around also. Has held up great even with our snow and salt in WI.

Very satisfied with the hitch and would recommend to anyone thinking about getting one.
i’m happy with the hitch, but I wasn’t happy with the bolts. They were the wrong bolt sent to me. I called up and they didn’t do anything about it. I had to re-tap everything.
I chose the Draw-Tite front mounted hitch over the Curt for my 2016 Nissan Frontier for 2 reasons.
1. A large percentage of the reviews indicated there was some difficulty mounting the Curt hitch because of misaligned mounting holes.
2. Since I was losing my front tow hook to enable mounting the hitch I chose the Draw-Tite hitch for its more substantial diameter tow points as well as them being located closer to the original mounting point.
The hitch was received both well packed and within a couple of days ordering. My 12 year old grand son and I installed it in about a 1/2 hour in our garage. The only part he could not do was remove the factory tow hook bolt. I had to use a breaker bar to break them loose. Other than that my grandson did the installation with my helping hold the hitch in place while he installed the bolts. I finished the final torquing of the bolts. I've included a couple pictures of the mounted hitch. I installed a tow loop in the 2x2 receptacle to keep it clean until I need to install the ball mount to position my trailer.
I would recommend the Draw-Tite hitch for anyone needing one for their Nissan Frontier, it is a well made hitch with nice looking welds and a smooth finish.
It fit perfectly and has worked well for me.
Etrailer had EXACTLY what I needed and fast FREE delivery!
perfect fit, easy to install
Three things bring me back to retailers: Price, Quality, and Speed of Fulfillment. etrailer.com checks all those boxes with the bonus of excellent communication. Looks good, works great, solid as a rock. I've hung a bike rack, motorcycle rack, and I've used it maneuver trailers into tight spaces with no problem.
Great quality hitch. It fit my 2021 Nissan frontier perfectly.
After reading several scathing reviews of the Curt front hitch for Nissan Frontier I was determined to find another brand. Thank goodness one reviewer was wrong when he said there were no alternatives. I think this took three days from my ordering it to delivery. That's great! It fit like a charm. It took me more time figuring how to lift my truck and finding the right sockets and torque wrench than it did to install the hitch. Aside from looking up the bolt torque, I didn't need the directions. I just found where the thing wanted to go. Removed the airdam (because it was obviously necessary and relatively easy, 6 bolts 10mm head) and bolted the hitch right on using a 18mm socket. In total it took me 40 minutes. I'm not sure if I needed to raise the truck as much as I did, but whatever. Now I can use my bicycle rack while towing my travel trailer. However, to be honest, I think I might like the bikes in the front regularly.
The front hitch on my Nissan Frontier works great. It really helps when putting our camper in the garage. The camper only has about 3 inches of play between the sides of the garage door.
My wife says it's been a marriage saver.
Easy install. Just balance on floor jack, raise and bolt on. I trimmed air Dam and reinstalled with Dremal and cutting disc with no problem. Now my Frontier is ready for snow plowing or fun attachments.
Perfect fit,very fast shipping.Works great with my drop down plow.
Great fit, easy install. I installed this myself using a floor jack. The hardest part was trimming the front valance, but that was because I wanted it to look right. The install video posted by etrailer made this install an absolute breeze.
Hitch worked well easy to install...... worked well with the plow I used on my truck.... plow attached into the hitch
The quality of the Receiver hitch is great. Nissan's Frontier however does not tell us about some difficult Air Dam fasteners. I would be happy to advise your next 2022 Frontier customer on removing the air dam.
Very nice receiver. Fast shipping. Excellent customer serve. Highly recommend!
The Hitch fit Perfect took about 15 min. to install.
Easy to install and holds twoe-bikes with no problems
Hitch is great. Fits perfectly. Four stars because the installtion video needs to updated for the cowl trimming on the 2022 and up Nissan Frontier. I was able to trim it and install the hitch without removing the cowl.

The manufacturer recommends using Krylon Gloss Rough Tuff enamel spray paint to touch up any defects, or scratches of the hitch.
