Features to know about

Heavy Loads Made Simple: Class V Strength with 16,000 lbs GTW

When you’re towing serious weight, you need a hitch that can handle it without breaking a sweat. This Curt Class V trailer hitch receiver is rated for 16,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 2,400 lbs maximum tongue weight. When used with a weight distribution system, it’s capable of up to 17,000 lbs GTW and 2,400 lbs WD tongue weight. It’s built from fully welded steel for heavy-duty towing and uses precision, robotic welds to keep strength consistent across every connection.

No Guesswork When Installing: Bolt-On Design Uses Existing Hardware

You don’t need to weld or drill holes to get this hitch on your vehicle. It’s a custom-fit design that bolts directly onto the frame using existing mounting points. Installation instructions come in the box so you can follow along step by step. Everything lines up where it should, making this a straightforward install for anyone who likes to handle upgrades themselves.

Built to Last Through Every Tow: Powder-Coated, Square-Tube Construction

Durability matters when you’re pulling weight every day. The sturdy square-tube design is finished with a black powder coat over a protective base layer for superior rust resistance. The result is a hitch that stays solid through wet roads, salty air, and long hauls without corroding or fading.

Ready for Your Setup: Standard 2" Receiver for Towing Accessories

This hitch gives you a 2" x 2" receiver opening—the standard size for most towing gear. It’s compatible with ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, and other accessories built around the 2" format. Ball mount, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can choose the setup that fits your hauling needs.

Great product. Not pleased with the way it was shipped. It came wrapped in a double layer of 10 mil plastic with tape holding it together. Looked like repack part that I paid full price for. I'm not a picky person, but I like to be the one that knocks the paint off not UPS.

Great receiver! Perfect fit!

Product was delivered on time and looks good, won't know the fit until after the snow.

It works good but wish that I would have bought the one that replaces the receiver under the bumper. My adjustable RV hitch falls right in between right height and wrong but its ok because of the load adjusters.



by:

Shippers could have been a little easier on it wrapping was torn all to pieces.



by:

Super easy to find exactly what fit my truck. Etrailer is always my goto for parts.



by:

Would not fit. Mounting holes won't line up. I got 8 of 10 in with some persuasion from a maul. Will have to weld on last spot. Don't recommend.

Hi Joshua, would it be possible that there was corrosion or some caked on dirtroad grime that could have made the fit not fit?



by:

Great product... installation was easy but the instructions were very basic. It would have been nice to know I didn’t have to remove the stock trailer hitch. There were no installation videos on this particular model.



by:

Great service, timely delivery, great product, great price from all the research I did, cant beat etrailer, hitch fit great, bolted up just like curt said and advertised it would, had one bolt on mounting that fit little snug against the slot pre-drilled slot, other than that went great and was on in probably 15 min and completed, would have been nice if Id had air gun, but got it done, looks great, on my 2017 Titon XD - s
will allays look to etrailer for my needs in the future! Thanks!!!



by:

Yes it hangs low under the factory hitch. I don’t care much for the adjustable hitches. They are very loose feeling to me. Between my 4” & 6” drop hitch’s I have 2 spots to choose from to make the height work. This thing is massive! I feel sorry for a car if I get rear ended cause it will probably be totaled.



by:

I purchased a class 5 Curt trailer hitch from E-trailer.com. Along with a seven to
four wire vehicle specific plug for my 2017 Nissan Titan. I was extremely satisfied with the price, free shipping , The quality of the product. Well packaged as to not scratch the paint .Easy to install with the help of 1 other person.



by:

i don't like how far below the rear bumper it sticks. i wish it was up about 3 inches so the square receiver would fit into the factory square cutout in the bumper that the factory hitch nestles into. I had to turn my hitch upside down and put the ball into the bottom to get my 14k tilt trailer to to sit level. once you add a lot of tongue weight with one of those undesirable tongue heavy loads it will be dragging the ground when you go through dips at intersections. I WISH I HAD GONE WITH THE FACTORY IV HITCH.



by:

Fit perfectly, easy installation, and holds up well. My son and I got this kit put on in less than 1/2 hour. The bolts than needed removed to install the kit went right back in to place. I would strongly recommend this for anyone looking to install a tow kit on their Titan.

The hitch is holding up wonderfully. It is dependable, durable, and through repeated use, there is no knicks, rust, or other blemishes. Everything works great. I am still happy with the product.



by:

Needs its own hardware.
Difficult to
use original hardware due to threads stripped from assembly. Also original hardware bolt heads would round off.
I would not recommend using without new hardware.

  • Recommended Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # 15306 for Nissan Titan XD
    Unfortunately we don't have any photos or videos of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15306 installed. I have attached a similar hitch that also fits below a factory hitch similar to assist.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Titan
    We installed the CIPA towing mirrors part # CM11980 on a similar 2018 Nissan Titan as yours and we found they fit and worked well. We also installed the # 11953 on a 2017 Nissan Titan and they worked well too. If you scroll down you'll see the two install vids we did for each mirror on your truck.

  • Does the Curt Hitch for a 2016 Nissan Titan XD Sit Directly Below the Factory Hitch
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15306 which is a fit for a 2016 Nissan Titan XD does sit below the factory trailer hitch. That said, it does not butt right up against the factory hitch as there is still a gap. Unfortunately, we do not have any photos of the hitch installed at this time but it will be the only option for models with the factory hitch. If you want to measure, the distance from the bottom of the frame on the truck to the top of the receiver tube on the trailer hitch...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch or Electric Sway Control for 2019 Coachman Apex Nano 185BH
    For your 2019 Coachman Apex Nano 185BH, you don't need to use a weight distribution system but it may still be beneficial not only for sway control but also for the lift to reduce rear truck sag when towing. My recommendation is the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution with Sway Control # RP66073 because the dual cams and rolled trunnion bars will keep that light trailer tracking correctly behind your Titan XD. The bars will be required for that sway control which is the bigger issue...

  • How Thick is the Steel On Curt Hitch For Nissan Titan XD
    Yes the Curt hitch holds up to daily towing, I went to the warehouse with a digital caliper and measured the thickness of the Steel Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15306 because Curt was not able to tell me the grade of steel the hitch is made from. The brackets on the hitch measure 0.3225" thick. The hitch receiver portion of the hitch measures 0.51" thick and the actual cross tube itself measures 3.7" wide. I was not able to measure the thickness of the steel that makes up the cross...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Brake Controller, And Wiring For 2016 Nissan Titan XD
    The trailer hitch we offer that is designed to fit your 2016 Titan is part # C15306. This is a Class V trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. You will need a 7-way harness to plug the trailer into. I recommend part # N40975. This plugs into the factory plug located behind the rear bumper. This will give you a working 4-way and 7-way connector. This kit also includes the required relays for the harness. You will also need a brake controller for your Titan. I recommend the...

  • Can the Factory Trailer Hitch On a 2019 Nissan Titan XD Be Replaced with Class V Hitch
    The only class V trailer hitch available for a 2019 Nissan Titan XD is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15306 which installs beneath the factory trailer hitch. The factory trailer hitch actually cannot be removed as it is crucial to the support/structure of the vehicle therefore this is your only option.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2018 Nissan Titan XD
    For your 2018 Nissan Titan XD, there is not a confirmed fit trailer hitch receiver meaning the manufacturer has not yet tested your vehicle for a fit. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and also did some research and have found no changes in the frame from 2017 to 2018 so the Curt # C13317 or the heavy duty # C15306 should bolt right on with no drilling required. The heavy duty hitch will sit further below the bumper as it is designed to also be compatible with the factory hitch...

  • Does Curt C15036 Fit Below Rear Bumper of 2017 Nissan Titan XD
    The Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15306 is designed to install and sit beneath the factory hitch on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD. It would use holes on the frame that the current factory hitch does not use.

  • Why Does Curt Trailer Hitch for 2016 Nissan Titan XD Have More Capacity than Vehicle
    Trailer hitches are rated independently from the vehicles they are designed for, but that capacity is designed to work with what the vehicle has as it's capacity. So by itself the Curt hitch # C15306 has the capacity of 16,000 lbs. But if your truck has a capacity of only 8,000 lbs your total capacity is that as you are always limited by the lowest rated component in your setup. So Curt basically made a hitch that is way overkill for your truck. But it will still work well.

  • Will Curt Class V Hitch # C15306 Fit 2017 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Bumper Step
    I reached out to my contact at Curt regarding the factory bumper step on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD. He said that the Curt Class V Hitch Receiver # C15306 will not interfere with that step at all and you won't need to make any modifications to it. This hitch will fit and work perfectly on your truck. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch, Brake Controller and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Titan XD
    For your 2017 Nissan Titan XD you'll want the Curt trailer hitch part # C15306 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. It has great towing capacities at 16,000 lb trailer weight and 2,400 lb tongue weight. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is...

  • Will Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15306 Fit Below Curt # C13317 on 2017 Nissan Titan XD
    The Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15306 is designed to install and sit beneath the factory hitch on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD like you mentioned. This hitch though cannot be installed along with the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13317 on your truck. This is because both hitches use the same exact mounting space on the frame rails for installation; the Class V receiver simply hangs down lower which allows it to sit beneath a factory receiver. If you have the Class III # C13317 installed...
