Very easy to install. It is heavy so I recommend 2 people. My brother and I had it installed in less than 30 minutes including removing a small portion of the underside of bumper with a dremel.
One bit of warning since it is lower than where the factory hitch would be I do scrap the hitch from time to time when on a steep incline or decline, like a steep driveway or a parking garage. The scrap is jarring to hear inside the car but the hitch is fine and keeps going. I recommend pulling into steep driveways at an angle, haven’t scraped since.

Keeping the hitch at an angle does the job, however I recommend considering part # RM-050 which is the Rollaway hitch protector from Roadmaster. It can help with vehicles where the hitch is lower to the ground.

Took about two hrs to finally get the last bolt to work, but otherwise i like the hitch. First 5 bolts took half hour.



by:

You need to supply a small paper template for the cut out of the rear plastic piece and also the last two holes in the mount need to have more of a slot in them to allow for more of an easy install so that you dont have to drill some space in the slots. We all don't have car lifts .

I am an accountant by trade so I enlisted a friend to help me with the trimming of the lower bumper panel. It took us longer than the video to install but overall I am very happy with the hitch receiver. The packaging on delivery was damaged and open but there was no damage (all bolts & washers accounted). This is not my first hitch receiver. I rated this based on price, quick delivery and the quality.

Holes in hitch did not match up perfectly with holes in the vehicle.

It sounds like you got a flexed hitch. It's pretty common for the steel of the hitch to become flexed in shipping. The good news is, its fixable. Check out this help article.

The holes were something else to get lined up. Got 5 out of the 6 bolts in. Good instructions. Sturdy product

  • Parts Needed To Install a Trailer Hitch Tow Package On a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
    First you will need a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR to bolt to your frame. This will give you a 2" receiver which will accept a Ball Mount # C45534 for towing a trailer with a 2" ball coupler. For the wiring we have the 4-Way # TK58VR which will fit most small trailers and allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201.

  • Does the Curt Hitch C46DR Fit the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder?
    Yes, it does. The Curt Hitch item # C46DR is custom fit and bolts to the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper cover. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance because the only part exposed is the 2" receiver. The Curt Hitch item # C46DR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

    Hey Sam, yes the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C95ZV you're looking at does fit your 2023 Infiniti QX60. For a hitch, I recommend checking out the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR. This is a nice class III hitch that has a 900 lb tongue weight rating, a 6,000 lb GTW, and is assembled in the USA.

  • Fascia Trimming Needed to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on 2023 Nissan Pathfinder
    Correct, the fascia trimming is under the bumper on your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder so it won't be noticeable at all for the installation of the Curt hitch that fits your vehicle. The correct part number for that hitch is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR I have added a cut out showing the exact trimming needed on your '23 Pathfinder when installing the # C46DR, and as you can see it's a small 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" section, which you can easily trim with a utility knife.

    Yes, you will be able to still use the hands free liftgate on your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder with a hitch installed.

  • Will Thule OutWay Platform Rack Fit a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder
    I have a solution for you to carry 2 bikes with your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder but at this time (January 2022) Thule hasn't confirmed fitment of any trunk mount racks for your vehicle. They may list the OutWay # TH65JV as fitting in the future, but for now we will need to look at a different solution.

With that said, you will have absolutely no problem carrying the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR1400Z. As to the hitch, you will need the Curt # C46DR.

  • Can 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Use Weight Distribution Hitch to Tow Travel Trailer
    Hey Shawn, Yes, you can use a weight distribution hitch with your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, so long as your receiver hitch is rated for use with weight distribution. If you have the OEM hitch that will work, otherwise you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR. As for your inTech Sol Horizon trailer, that depends entirely on the manufacturer. Reason I say that is it looks as if this trailer has an aluminum frame, and oftentimes those aren't able to use weight distribution, so you'll...

    I do have an option for you but there aren't any 5-way trailer wiring harness options for a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. Therefore, you must first start with a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK58VR which offers plug-in-play installation. This can then be adapted to a 5-way using the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter part # C57187.

  • Solution for Preventing 2023 Nissan Pathfinder from Sagging Rear Suspension When Towing
    Hey Joseph, so the Curt hitch part # C46DR is for sure a fit for your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder and you did get the correct hitch. What is most likely happening is that your trailer's tongue weight is causing the rear suspension to sag which is causing the dragging. If that is the case a set of air bags like part # AL63WQ which fits your vehicle would be what you'd want.
