That sounds like an awesome trip, Ron! I may only be a little jealous that you got to go to the Grand Canyon. It's been a long time since I was last there.



by:

Very nice receiver. I like that you don't have to put holes into the trunk of your car to install this like other receivers. Fits nicely on the 2019 and newer Nissan Altima's. Due to the car being low, the receiver is a bit low as well. Would need to make sure the bike rack has an upward rake to prevent any problems with hitting the road when going over bumps. Only problem I had was there were two scratches on the receiver. Not bad enough to send back. Cheaper to touch up the non painted surface of the scratch.



by:
2017 Nissan Maxima

Took a little over an hour to install with most of the time spent loosening the nuts to remove the rear mufflers. I followed the manufacturer instructions and enlarged one of the existing frame holes with a step bit, rather than drilling another access hole. It worked great.
This hitch fits perfectly on my 2017 Maxima and is tucked in just right for my bike rack.
I strongly recommend the product.



by:
2023 NissanAltima

I've put this hitch on a 2017 and 2023 Altima. Shipping box arrived in good shape. Improved packaging kept the hitch from bouncing around in the box. Did the install by myself, in my garage, working off the floor. Your videos showing use of a step bit to enlarge one hole on each side was not my experience. It could have been a dull bit that I borrowed from a neighbor. I used a cutoff wheel on a 4.5 inch angle grinder with good results (much faster, anyhow). BTW, I also installed the powered Curt wiring to save the small gage wires used for the car LED lights. DAN



by:

Well, I ordered the same hitch from another online retailer, we know which one, and it was delivered slightly out of alignment. It would not fit my 2017 Nissan Altima. I returned it and ordered another. Same issue but this time it was even worse, mounting arms visually bent. I found this hitch on etrailer.com and was able to actually talk to a real person who listened to my saga and helped get a hitch shipped to me that was perfect. I installed it and everything worked out well. Thanks y'all!



by:
2018 NissanAltima

The product fit perfectly on my 2018 Nissan Altima SV. The only bit I can add is I used a hard plastic cup, cut into circles, with a hole drilled in the middle of each, to use as holders for the carriage bolt so it would not push into the frame when putting on the Receiver.



by:
2011 NissanAltima

Install was fairly straight forward. A second pair of hands was helpful when threading the nuts to the carriage bolts so that the bolts weren't accidently pushed up into the frame. The etrailer install video was good.



by:

It fit great!



by:

Fast reliable and easy to install been fishing with my Altima 2009 because diesal in California is insanely high. Worth it! Love it will order from them for all my trailer needs! Thank you etrailer



by:

IT FITS WELL. I would recommend 4 fish wires to hold your bolts in place while mounting the hitch. also the bolts are about 1/8" short to even make the last thread of the nut.



by:
2024 NissanAltima

Your install video was accurate and very helpful. The fit was good.



by:

I like that etrailer had a selection of hitches for me to choose from. Product came as described, instructions were complete, durability seems fine. Etrailers installation videos are spot-on, and very helpful. Phone contact with customer service was very positive, like walking into an auto parts store with friendly and helpful Parts staff. I refer people to etrailer when and where I can with no hesitation.



by:

This hitch is great! I have had no issues with the operation of the hitch and use to haul camping gear and also have a hitch bike rack that carries my mountain bike.

I will say that the carriage bolts that came with the hitch are much too short, you get about 2 threads of engagement to on the nuts, I had to go buy 4 longer carriage bolts and then cut them to the length with an angle grinder.



by:
2014 NissanAltima

Love the product. We followed the instructions and it was easy. We did add a very small procedure and that was to put one drop of superglue between the bolt and the plate because when we were putting the hitch up onto the bolt we were pushing the bolt up into the rail. 1 drop of superglue held the bolt and plate together so it had some weight dropping through the hitch. Product and instructions were great. I would also rank customer support at a 10 out of 5, better than I could imaging before I bought the product and even after I bought with so many people checking in with me making sure everything was ok.



by:

This hitch was an easy install and works great!!



by:

The hitch went on just fine. If I have anything negative to say about the components is that the 4 bolts that were supplied with the kit could have been 1/8-1/4" longer. When fully torqued there was still 1-1/2 threads left unused in the mounting nuts. Why not go for full thread engagement? It is only stronger & there was nothing that would've been interfered with by a slightly longer bolt protruding from the nut.



by:
2010 NissanAltima

The video installation instructions gave me the confidence to install the receiver myself and it went exactly as expected. Shipping was fast and the receiver appears to be of great quality. Now we can take the bikes with car and don't have to use the truck.



by:

Had it installed by a tire center locally in town. They did have to drill into my frame. The work, paid off. A Thule rack carrying to MTB, with no issue. nothing has come loose in the year of ownership.



by:
2020 NissanAltima

pretty easy to install. No drilling, just enlarging existing holes. They did send me the wrong instructions but i was able to find the correct ones easily . this is my 3d hitch install. I really like this company!



by:

This was an excellent part. Easy installation. Sturdy design. Primarily used for a bike rack



by:
2013NissanAltima

Quality product. All hardware needed was supplied and instructions were easy to understand. I use it for bike transportation which requires a strap to the front of the trunk lid. I've used it for thousands of miles without any issues. Vehicle is a 2013 Nissan Altima.



by:

Easy to install with minimum labour and experience. handle my boat trailer adequately.



by:

I won’t be installing this until it warms up a little bit as I will be doing it on the floor in my garage.
Arrived on time, and I thoroughly appreciate your installation videos for your products. Very clear directions and vehicle specific. Awesome website feature. Repeat customer, and I will certainly be back.

  • How To Carry Two 50 lb Mountain Bikes With A 2017 Nissan Maxima
    Hello Mark, thanks for reaching out. The only way to carry two 50 lb mountain bikes with your 2017 Nissan Maxima will be to install a trailer hitch, and use a hitch mounted platform bike rack. Trunk mount bike racks are just not strong enough to carry 50 lb bikes. The highest per-bike weight capacity for a trunk rack is 35 lbs. So even if you were to Saris Bones EX 3 and do only two bikes on it, you would still be over the 35 lb per bike limit which would be highly unsafe and dangerous....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Nissan Altima
    Currently we only have 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers for your 2016 Nissan Altima. I recommend the Curt # C11352 over the Draw-Tite # 24796 which I see you found. I prefer the Curt as they have added gussets for strength where the mounting flanges bend to attach to the frame. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C56339 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to most small trailers you might tow and also for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 on a hitch mounted accessory such...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan that Does Not Require Drilling to Install
    The Curt # C11352 and Draw-Tite # 24796 require drilling in order to install on a 2013 Altima sedan. If you're needing the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 24796. If your owner's manual or Nissan says it's okay to tow with your Altima, you might also need the following: A ball mount Trailer wiring harness, part # 118470 2 inch trailer ball, part # 19258 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 Locking hitch pin,...

  • Recommendation 1-1/4 Inch Drawbar with 3-1/2 Inch Rise on 2015 Nissan Altima
    We have a 3-3/4 inch rise that works great with your trailer, item # C45023 . It's the Curt Class I Drawbar - 3-3/4" Rise - 11-1/2" Long - 2,000 lbs drawbar. It is slightly taller than your desired rise. But once the trailer is hooked up, the weight will bring it down closer to that 3.5 inch you were looking for. Also, this drawbar is a Class I which suits your hitch. We have a review video for this product that I've included. You could use a Class II drawbar with your Class I hitch since...

  • Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
    The recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...

  • Removing Exhaust Heat Shield When Installing Curt Class I Hitch on 2013 Nissan Altima
    As you can see in the photo I assembled from captured images from the install video, the mounting flange of the hitch provides as much heat protection as the heat shield that is removed and discarded. The steel of the hitch mounting flange is much thicker than that of the heat shield. I checked with my contact in the engineering department at Curt Manufacturing, who assured me that the mounting flange will offer enough heat protection that a fire hazard will not exist.

  • Compatibility of Curt Euro-Style Ball Mount w/ Draw-Tite Class I 24796 on 2010 Nissan Maxima
    When we installed the Draw-Tite # 24796 on a 2009 Nissan Maxima, we found that the hitch height and the setback was the exact same as the Curt # C11352 you referenced. This being said, the Euro-style ball mount won't work with the Draw-Tite hitch. A Class I hitch has the hitch pin hole recessed further back in the receiver than a Class II hitch would be. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch punch or weld a stop into the receiver so a Class II rated accessory can't be slid into the receiver far...

  • Easiest Hitch To Install On A 2022 Nissan Altima
    When it comes to installing a trailer hitch onto your 2022 Nissan Altima the Curt Hitch # C11352 and The Draw-Tite Hitch # 24796 are your two options. Both hitches have a similar installation process but I would recommend The Draw-Tite Hitch # 24796 to have the easiest installation because you do not have to permanently remove the heat shield for the hitch installation like you do on the Curt Hitch. The Draw-Tite hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds, and has a receiver opening...

    According to Draw Tite the hitch part # 24796 should only take a professional about an hour to complete. For more info check out the install video and instructions I attached. Both this hitch and the Curt hitch part # C11352 have the same weight capacities so I can assure that either would be just as strong as the other when installed on your vehicle. The trade does seem to be that the Curt hitch requires removal of heat shields and gas tank cover whereas the Draw Tite requires that you...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
    As far as quality, all of the hitches for the 2013 Nissan Altima sedan are on par with each other. The Draw-Tite hitches (# 24796) undergoes additional voluntary testing procedures that other hitches do not. But both hitches, including Curt hitch # 11352, are built to meet or exceed required industry strength standards. The main difference is that the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. Curt requires...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
    The Curt # C11352 and Draw-Tite # 24796 trailer hitches are very much the same in terms of install. The only difference is the overall cost of the hitches and the fact that the Curt will require the use of stabilizing straps in order to maintain the warranty. So if you are looking for the less expensive hitch that won't require straps I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 24796 for your Altima sedan. This is a Class I hitch and will require you to use a compatible bike rack. I am not...

    You seem to already have an inkling of what you're going to run into. Because of the limited tongue weight capacity of a Class I hitch such as the Curt # C11352, the carrier used plus the scooter itself could not weigh more than 200 lbs.

    Of the hitches available for your 2009 Altima Sedan, the Curt # C11352 would be recessed under the vehicle by less than the Draw-Tite model. When installed, the Curt # C11352 hitch pin hole would be recessed 5 inches under the vehicle (distance from hitch pin hole to furthest rearward point of back bumper). The Draw-Tite # 24796 is recessed by about 6-1/2 inch inches. Using the Curt hitch might allow you to fold the rack up, but as you mentioned, the rack would indeed be right up against...

    It looks like you are going to be drilling no matter which hitch you use. The Curt hitch, # C11352, attaches more to the frame which is why it requires removal of the heat shields. The hitch itself will act as a heat shield to dissipate heat. The Draw-Tite hitch # 24796 does mount to the sturdier part of the spare tire well which requires drilling (which will be pretty easy to drill through, unlike a solid frame) but retains the heat shields.

This is true for all Class I hitches for all vehicles. While there are some lighter-weight mobility chairs on the market, such as the 54-lb Lexis Light, most mobility chairs weigh more, some well into the 300-lb range.

    I checked the owners manual online for the 2014 Nissan Rogue and found that it has an 1,100 pound towing capacity. However, it also says to check the capacity sticker in the driver side door jamb. I recommend checking both the manual and that sticker to determine the capacities of your specific model. If it does indeed top out at 1,100 pound you will not be able to tow the 2500 pound boat.

  • Is The Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Rack Too Heavy For A 2015 Nissan Altima
    I do have a solution for you but it's important to note the # TH9044-TH9046 rack is for use with a 2" only receiver and the only hitches confirmed to fit your 2015 Altima are 1-1/4". Another option is the Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # TH9045 that would fit a 1-1/4" receiver and weighs 50lbs. Adding that weight to your bikes you can determine your total weight to see if it exceeds the vehicle maximum for the Altima. You always need to consult your owners manual...

This is a Class 1 hitch; there are currently no class 2 hitches available for the 2014 Nissan Altima. This is mainly due to the fact that this vehicle is not meant for towing a trailer, and the class 1 # C11352 will be able to handle everything your Altima is capable of doing.
