Features to know about

Get More Utility Out of Your Vehicle: Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver

With a 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight rating and 900 lbs tongue weight, this Class III hitch is built to handle everyday towing and hauling jobs. The 2" x 2" receiver opening gives you the flexibility to use it with bike racks, cargo carriers, ball mounts, and other standard towing accessories. It’s a solid choice for light to moderate trailer towing or carrying gear when you need extra capacity.

Simplify Weekend Projects: Bolt-On Installation with No Welding Required

Installing this hitch doesn’t have to be complicated. The fully welded design bolts directly onto your vehicle’s frame using factory holes, so there’s no drilling or welding needed. It comes with a complete hardware kit and step-by-step instructions to make the job straightforward for DIY installers working in the driveway.

Built to Last Through Years of Use: Robotic Welding and Protective Coating

The precision, robotic welds maximize strength and ensure a consistent fit across the frame. A gloss black powder coat finish is layered over a protective base coat to deliver superior rust resistance. The result is a sturdy square-tube hitch that looks clean and stays strong through weather, road grime, and regular use.

Keep It Looking Clean: Concealed Cross Tube Design

The concealed cross tube keeps most of the hitch tucked behind the bumper so only the receiver is visible. That means better ground clearance and a more streamlined appearance without bulky metal showing under the rear fascia. It’s a clean, functional design that blends in while still offering full towing power.

2018 Nissan Pathfinder

The hitch fits great. I got it for my 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. The hardest part was cleaning the threads on the nut. I bought round cleaning brushes from Harbor Freight that fit the inside diameter of the nut. I cut the handle off and put it in my drill and went to town cleaning the rust and grime with the brush and WD-40. It probably took me an hour and half to clean it so the hitch would mount up.

The hitch was purchased on the recommendation of my car repair person. It is being used to hold a smallish cargo carrier for a wheelchair. So far so good.

2016 Nissan Pathfinder

Very nice hitch. Powercoat is nice and thick so corrosion won't be an issue. I tried to order one that would fit in the factory opening in the bumper ,but as you can see it fits below with some minor trimming.

The trailer hitch itself is well made and solid. The screw holes didn’t match up exactly and I ended stripping 4 out of the 6 bolts given since I tried screwing them in at an angle. I had to get new bolts

by: Jason 09/17/2025

Great hitch at a great price. Fantastic customer service and super easy to install with the video instructions. You will want a second person to help with the install but otherwise a simple job with a few sockets (and a Dremel to cut out the notch in the bumper).

Nissan Pathfinder

The service from etrailer was very good and professional and the video's very helpful to use, I installed it with a in about 30 minutes. the quality of the hitch is good and constructed well, we have used it 4 times since purchasing it. It especially helpful to use during the holidays to make room for all of our packing. we have a Nissan Pathfinder. the only thing I would recommend is buying a 2 inch trailer hitch rise, because when the cargo basket is fully loaded it can scrape the drown goin up or down sloped driveways.

Nissan Pathfinder

Solid. I tow a 20 Foot Pontoon. with a Pathfinder. 6 or 7 times a summer. I have to use an 8" Rise receiver to get the trailer leveled off. If I had the hitch at the factory height i could probably use a 4" riser. Other than that, I can't complain. The kit came with all the electronic parts needed to " Go Live" and tow.

by: James 09/12/2022 One Year Later

I installed this hitch myself, it took about 1 1/2 hours. The electrical harness and relays were easily installed with little electrical or mechanical knowledge. The video made it simple. I have used my hitch many times and I have had no issues with the mounting or the electrical. I’m glad I purchased it!

by: Steven 06/25/2020

Great hitch. Fit perfectly and was really well built. A big Thank you to etrailer for their help in making my order right. Package was damaged in shipping, and they went out of their way to make it correct. Thanks again.

by: Dustin 06/02/2020

Product came fast and seems solid all around(haven't tested it yet), definitely a two person install job. Everything fit okay, when it was in position, doesn't clear bumper(have to push it out and remove brackets). Also, the videos showed a spot to mount the electrical, this one is missing that feature, I had to get crafty and use U bolts and L brackets to make my own mount for the electrical stuff.

2018 Nissan Pathfinder

This class 3 hitch came on time, good price. It's going on a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, not exactly a tow-truck but primarily to be used to mount a bike rack. The hitch is extremely sturdy and well built with good powder coat paint. I'd buy it from you again.

2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Hitch appears to be good quality and will do the job. It was not too difficult to install but a second pair of hands would have been nice. Happy with this hitch and the service from etrailer.

2019 Nissan Pathfinder

I ordered the hitch and it was delivered quicker than I anticipated. It came in a box that had a few holes in it. Turns out the hardware and instructions were missing from the box.

I called customer service and they were very friendly and helpful. They sent replacement hardware and instructions and I received the replacements the day after I called them at no extra charge.

by: Douglas 07/01/2022

This is the second hitch I’ve ordered from etrailer and have been very happy both times. The first one arrived the day after the early received date but it was due to a snow storm and the second arrived a day before the received window. Both were the free shipping option so still very fast. The videos are super helpful for install.

Very easy to install. Super clear instructions.
Can be installed without any ramp, just slide down on a mat.
Installation required to cut a small piece of plastic from fascia, I did it using occilating multitool.

How to Mount a 7-Way Connector on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with the Curt Hitch # C13309
If you were to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309 on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder then you would need to mount the Curt T-Connector # C56357 directly to your rear bumper fascia using the mounting bracket # PK12711U. To avoid this you can use the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58000 instead. Since the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76031 does sit below the rear bumper fascia you would be able to use the no-drill mounting bracket # C57202 along with the part # PK12711U. The Curt T-Connector...

Comparing Curt and etrailer.com Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
Curt actually makes the etrailer.com hitches like the part # e98908 that you referenced which is why it's basically identical to the Curt # C13309 that fits your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. It is a somewhat new hitch line we started offering but not brand new. This means that the install video for the Curt (attached to this page) would cover the install of the # e98908 as well. The hands free liftgate of your Pathfinder will still work but you just would have to kick your foot to either side...

Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
The trailer hitch I highly recommend for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is the Curt # C13309 because it has a concealed crosstube and is a bolt-on installation that will not require drilling into your vehicle's frame to install. This Class III, 2" trailer hitch is almost entirely hidden behind your bumper, has a black powder coat finish to protect it from corrosion and also has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. The Curt # C13309 is made in the USA and comes with...

Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
Hey Kat yes we do have something for your 2019 Pathfinder. For a hitch I recommend checking out the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309. This hitch is custom to your Pathfinder, has a 2" receiver, a 900 lb tongue weight, and a 6,000 lb weight capacity. For wiring, I'd recommend going with the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector # HM11143690, which is a plug and play harness that easily provides a 4 pole at the back of your vehicle. Both of these products...

How To Mount A 7-Way Connector On A 2019 Nissan Pathfinder With The Curt Hitch C13309
To install a 7 -Way connector you will need the T-connector and mounting bracket compatible with your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 118273 as a simple, plug and play solution that does not require splicing of wires to install. The 2 connectors are found usually in the far rear drivers side compartment. The Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware # PK12711U will then help in providing a clean look for your 7-Way connector....

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
For your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder we have the Curt hitch part # C13309 as a confirmed fit that would work really well.

I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like installed as well as an install video too.

Recommended Hitch, 7-Way Connector, and Mounting Bracket for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
I'll start out by confirming that the Curt Hitch item # C13309 you were looking at does fit the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. I have attached an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get it set up. To add a 7-way connector, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118273. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Pathfinder's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located just behind the rear bumper, near the center of the vehicle....

Should Trailer Wiring Be Installed with Trailer Hitch or Can it Wait til Later
Trailer hitch installs and trailer wiring installs are totally separate processes. It wouldn't be a situation where "well, you're already half way there may as well do the wiring too." So if you wanted to start with a hitch now like the # C13309 and then do the wiring part # C56281 now or at a later date you'd have the same amount of work either way. I attached install videos for both of these for you to check out as well.

Does Draw-Tite or Curt Hitch Have Better Ground Clearance for 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
When we installed the Draw-Tite # 76031 and Curt # C13309 trailer hitch receivers on a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder - which is the same body as a 2019 Pathfinder - we found that the Draw-Tite had both better ground clearance and better bumper clearance. The Curt measured 14 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch with 5 inches from the hitch pin hole to the end of the bumper, while the Draw-Tite measured 14-1/2 inches from the ground and 4 inches from pin hole to the end of the bumper.

7-Way Vehicle Connector for 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
Since your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder has the factory towing package, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector item # 118273. This wiring harness attaches below your vehicle into the existing factory ports. I have attached a picture and linked an installation video to help guide you through the install process. I also recommend purchasing the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This kit will provide you with...

Bracket for Mounting 7-Way Install on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder with Curt Hitch
Since the Curt hitch part # C13309 that fits your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have a trailer wiring bracket (none of the hitches for your vehicle do) the best options is to use a bracket # PK12711U attached to the lower rear fascia so that you can easily mount the 7-way kit that also fits your vehicle part # C56357. I attached a picture that shows what the wiring connectors look like at the rear of your vehicle as well.

How to Mount 7-Way Connector to Hidden Curt Hitch C13309 on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309 installed on your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder, which as you mentioned features a hidden crosstube that stays tucked behind the rear bumper, you will just need to mount the 7-Way bracket directly to the bumper fascia using something like the Pollak # PK12711U. If you'd rather not bolt anything directly into the fascia, another good option is with the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58000. This will attach directly to the hitch receiver on the Curt Trailer...

Trailer Wiring Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
For a 4-way trailer wiring harness for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder I recommend the # 118670 which installs very easily and comes with everything needed to give you the 4-way you'll need to tow your pop up. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2018 Pathfinder. If you needed a hitch too the Curt Class III part # C13309 is a really great option too. It has plenty of capacity and is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.

Comparison of Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
I prefer the Curt, part # C13309, over the Draw-Tite, part # 76031, for a trailer hitch receiver on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. I like how the Curt hitch is mostly hidden behind the rear bumper and the only part you see is the receiver opening and safety chain loops. With the Draw-Tite you can see part of the crosstube under the bumper. Although, it doesn't require any fascia trimming and the price is better. I've linked a video from when we installed the Draw-Tite on a Pathfinder...

Installing a Hitch on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL with Motion Liftgate Sensor
The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13309, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. My contact at Curt confirmed with me that the hitch will not interfere with the relay that is located at under the bumper. The hands free lift gate feature will still be enabled after installation of the Curt hitch. However if you're trying to activate it with your foot directly under the hitch receiver opening it probably won't work. Just keep your foot to the side of the receiver tube and it...

Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness and Brake Controller for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
Let's begin with the class III trailer hitch. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13309. This US made hitch offers great quality at a reasonable price point. The hitch is a concealed design, which means that the only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear of the vehicle is the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The hitch crossbar is fully concealed behind the bumper. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118273 which provides a 7-way trailer connector....

Are Trailer Hitches Checked Before Shipping?
Before a hitch is shipped we do check for paint being chipped off and one is never sent with chipped paint so rest assured the hitch you get will leave our warehouse in perfect condition. For a hitch to use on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder I highly recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 76031 because it will not require any trimming of the fascia during installation like the option from Curt # C13309 will. You can power your trailer's lights by adding a 4-flat to your Pathfinder with the...

Towing a Trailer and Carrying Bikes at the Same Time with a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
There are ways to accomplish what you want but there are some other things to think about first. The most important thing to consider for your situation is how much rise or drop you need to tow the trailer level. Because if an adapter is used (or even if it isn't) then the ball mount has to have the right amount of rise or drop to tow the trailer level. So if we look at the available hitches the one that will provide the most ground clearance is # C13309 (excludes platinum models). Once...

Best Trailer Hitch for 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
Hands down the best trailer hitch for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76031 over the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13309 because it has the better clearances as well as the easier installation. The Draw-Tite hitch has better ground clearance than the Curt, has better bumper clearance, and does not require either lowering the spare tire to install or trimming the fascia under the bumper, which are both steps necessary to install the Curt hitch.

Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for Max Towing Capacity on 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder and it states that the vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. I do recommend verifying this in your copy of the manual as well. For a trailer hitch that will work perfectly I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309 which has a 6,000 pound capacity to match the Pathfinder's limits and a nice hidden crosstube design where only the 2 inch receiver will be visible....

Mounting Bracket for a 4-way Wiring Harness on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
To mount a 4-way wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118670 to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13309 on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder you can use the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 and the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140. The No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140 will attach to the hitch and the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 will attach to the electrical mounting bracket.

Can Trailer Hitch Installed on 2016 Nissan Pathfinder Be Moved to 2019 Model?
The answer to your question will depend on which hitch you have installed on the 2016 Pathfinder. If it's a Draw-Tite # 76031, it can be removed and installed on your 2019 Pathfinder. If you have the Curt # C13126, it will NOT fit on your 2019 Pathfinder. The correct Curt hitch fit for your 2019 would be part # C13309.
