2004 Nissan Xterra

Needed a trailer hitch for my 03 XTerra - Bought the frame, wiring harness, hitch and ball - all showed up in 3 days! I watched the install video for the 04 xterra and it was very helpful. It took 30 minutes to install by myself - including the wiring. Used it for the first time this morning and it worked like a champ - and I saved $130 bucks that I would have been charged for install at the local trailer sales place! Very positive experience!



by:
2000 Nissan Xterra

Great folks to deal with, best price! I have a 2000 Xterra, this install could not have been any simpler.

I did it on my 30 min non-mechanic, no help lunch break.

I did not drop the exhaust, but did drop the tire.

Though I did sweat, the install was "no sweat"!



by:

Product was perfect and could not have beensimpler to install. It took me less than 1 hour by myself. There were even videos on Youtube that showed me exactly what to do and how to do it with the exact same parts I had. Plus, it was shipped and delivered very fast. Highly recommended company.

  • How To Tell If a 2004 Nissan Xterra Has a Pre-Wired Plug For a 4-Way Trailer Connector
    If your 2004 Nissan Xterra did not come with a trailer hitch then most likely it would not have came with the plug for the trailer wiring harness either but you can check this pretty easily by just taking a look under the bumper on the driver side for the four pin connector which you can see in the attached video. If you have this then great, you can use the Tow Package Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118244 for a plug and play install but if you do not you would need to use the Upgraded...

  • Removing the Spare Tire on a 2001 Nissan Xterra to Install a Trailer Hitch
    In the cargo area of the 2001 Nissan Xterra, under the carpet, there are tools for accessing and changing the spare tire. One of these tools is the jack rod. On one end of the jack rod there is a T-shape. Insert that end into the oval opening located above the license plate in the middle. The rod goes in at an angle so if you are looking at the back of the vehicle the end of the jack rod you are holding will be closer to the driver's side of the vehicle. Then you will take the wheel nut...

  • Torque Spec Info for the Curt Hitch part # 13183
    The torque specs for the Curt Hitch part # 13183 are listed in the installation instructions I attached to this page. Most likely they would be the same for whatever hitch you have, but since your hitch may not be a Curt hitch I can't say that with absolute certainty.

  • Can Spare Tire Remain Mounted With Trailer Hitch Installed on 2000 Nissan Xterra?
    The Class III Curt hitch # 13183 does have a limited lifetime warranty and there are no restrictions if you use it as intended, which means not to alter it or do something such as tow more than its 4,000 lb towing capacity. As for the spare tire on your 2000 Nissan Xterra, so long as it is the 17 inch spare tire, it will stay mounted in the original place after the hitch is installed, but during the install process the tire will need to be lowered or temporarily removed. I've attached a...

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2004 Nissan Xterra
    I will be happy to clear up what all you will need to add the equipment to tow the trailer and activate the electric brakes. First, if your 2004 Nissan Xterra does not already have a trailer hitch you will need to add one. A popular option is Curt trailer hitch # 13183. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. The hitch itself is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight but limited to the vehicle capacity if lower. I also recommend etrailer ball...

  • Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2000 Nissan Xterra
    For your 2000 Nissan Xterra the Curt hitch part # 13183 would work well as as confirmed fit. However we do not offer any frame braces or anything similar. If your vehicle does require those you would need to contact a Nissan dealer for them. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118244. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller...

  • 2001 Nissan Xterra Recommended Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer
    To get towing with your 2001 Nissan Xterra you need a trailer hitch, wiring, a ball mount kit, and possibly a brake controller depending on the size of your trailer (typically it's required for a trailer at or over 2,000 lbs). I recommend picking up the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13183, 4-Way Wiring # C59496 if you don't have the factory tow package or the T-Connector # C55244 if you do, and Ball Mount Kit # 989899. This gives you everything you need for towing a smaller trailer. If you're...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13183 Fit a 2001 Nissan Xterra with a 17 Inch Spare Tire
    It sounds like you have the 17 inch spare tire on your 2001 Nissan Xterra. The Curt trailer hitch, # 13183, will fit if the vehicle has the 17 inch spare. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you will be doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, there are 2 options. If it came with a tow package use # 118244. If it did not come...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Nissan Xterra
    A trailer hitch from a 2003 Buick Century will not fit a 2001 Nissan Xterra. You will need to go with a new hitch for the Nissan like the Curt Hitch part # 13183 which is a confirmed fit. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

  • Can Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 Carry 450-lb Bike on 2002 Nissan Xterra
    In order to be able to use the full 500-lb carrying capacity of the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 you will need to use it with a vehicle and hitch that both have a tongue weight (TW) capacity in excess of its 500-lb rating. If either the vehicle or the hitch have a TW rating below 550-lbs, then you'll start to lose carrying capacity. For example, if your Xterra owner's manual said the TW rating was 600-lbs but your installed hitch has a TW rating of 500-lbs, then the lower...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Nissan Xterra
    I have a hitch that will work for your 2004 Nissan Xterra, but the Draw-Tite part #24773 is designed for a different vehicle so it would not work well for you. Instead the Curt Hitch part # 13183 would be a great option for you as it has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Will Full-Size Spare Tire Interfere With Trailer Hitch Installation On 2013 Hyundai Sonata
    The part # 13183 you mentioned is not designed to fit the 2013 Hyundai Sonata you entered in the vehicle information fields. The 13183 is designed to fit Xterra. I spoke with my contact at Curt about the # 13183. They told me that the spare tire is lowered only to make it easier to install the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13183. They said there should be no problem with clearance when you reinstall the spare tire, and there should be no issue with a full-sized spare either. If you are...

    We have a Curt trailer hitch that fits your 2000 Nissan Xterra but it is not the one you referenced. You would want the part # 13183 which is a confirmed fit instead.
