Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

This is the 2nd vehicle that I’ve purchased a hitch for from etrailer and man have they delivered. The time of delivery might be the only thing more impressive than their pricing. I will definitely be back in a few years when this current car gets on my nerves haha. Great job etrailer.

I suggest checking to insure the mounting arms are straight before trying to install. Mine was a little bent from shipping, but after straightening it out it fit perfect.



by:

Great product. Fits perfect, exactly as described. Very fast shipping. Etrailer is definitely the way to go.

Absolutely perfect. Zero issues with this product. Works as it should

I had no issues with the hitch. I haven’t used it a whole lot but my biggest take away is the product description is true and accurate. I had ordered 2 previous products from a different site that said it fit my 22 Frontier and they lied. This hitch had been great; easy to install yourself.

This hitch receiver is well made and it fit my 2007 Nissan Frontier perfectly. It looks good too! The installation was an easy, 30-minute process.

The box was beat to hell. I
Was surprised
that everything was in there. The mounting hardware was taped into the receiver and the harness was taped securely inside. The fit is perfect. Easy install

The hitch has been great. Towed a 6’x12’ box trailer fully loaded with no problems. No rust. Great product.



by:

The hitch looks well built except for the safety chain loop. the loop looks a bit weak for a safety chain. I'm used to seeing beefier attachment points for safety chains on this type of hitch. The hitch mounted nicely and fit my 2024 Frontier perfectly.

Product is good, shipping sucks,hitch halfway out of box, left end of hitch bent about 2", had to reorder, needs better packing!!!!!

I am sorry that the hitch arrived this way. It sounds like the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which can happen during shipment. We have a FAQ that can with installation when this happens. Please see it below.

Fits perfectly to my 2018 Nissan Frontier S King cab. I used a floor jack to lift and install the hitch on my truck. Done in about 30 minutes. Very happy!



by:
2023 Nissan Frontier

Received the hitch and installed it in 15 minutes tops. It was a breeze. Fits like a glove and it looks like it would from any dealership. I’m exceedingly pleased.



by:

Great fit and Finnish. Excellent company to do business with. The updates on status is very helpful. I would definitely recommend E Trailer.

Took me longer to get the receiver out of the box and packaging than it did to install it! Perfect fit.

I am very happy with the ordering process. And I was able to easily install this receiver on my Frontier.

Am very happy with the trailer hitch that I purchased. I had a little trouble getting it to mount on my truck and thought the hitch may have been bent, but after talking with a company representative who informed me that the hitch frame would flex slightly, I was able to clamp the hitch and get all bolt holes to align properly before removing my clamp. I have made 4 major hauls with my truck towing 8ft or longer trailers and have had no problems. Thank you ETRAILER for this product.



by: 12/22/2022

I’m hoping everything installs without problems. Looking forward to putting it on my truck. I bought the oem wiring harness and that all went perfectly. Thanks

Very well . And Nissan dealer wanted $1700.00 to do this job. That to me was way out of line . The wiring and hitch were only less than $300.0. I wired everything myself and that took only 40 minutes. Very good design. But was bent in the shipping. I finally had breakmasters do the install and it was a struggle for them also. But it finally came together. And I’m satisfied with the outcome.



by:
2014 Nissan Frontier

I received the new hitch from e-trailer within a couple of days of ordering. I was able to install it the next day. My old hitch had a plate welded to it. I ground that off and bolted it to the new hitch. Everything went smoothly. The old bolts came out and the new hitch fit. I put "never seize" on the new bolts to be sure they would come out if ever needed.



by:
2022 Nissan Frontier

Unlike another brand that I had to return, this hitch fit my 2022 Nissan Frontier perfectly. I was able to install it by myself in about 20 minutes. I totally recommend.

Installed fairly easily. Very happy with the hitch.

A year later zero issues. Its as tight as the day I installed it. No rust simply put Great item



by:

The trailer itself is fine. Unfortunately, this company doesn't believe in packaging their products properly or using a quality shipper. Not only ly did this take forever to arrive, the frame of the product was bent on arrival, and I can't bolt all of the screws to my truck frame. Really Unfortunate, when this part is this pricey. This is completely unacceptable.

Often times when the holes of the hitch and the vehicle do not line up, it is because the hitch has flexed during shipping. Because a hitches mounting brackets are made from mild steel, the mounting brackets can flex during shipping. If the entire hitch was rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. I do have a link below for your future reference.



by:

Hitch was quickly received after ordering and installed without any issues on my 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro4X Crew Cab. I preferred this model for the cost savings and I did not need a bracket or mount for the 7 way plug on the hitch since I mounted it in the bumper.

  • Recommended Hitch, Wiring Harness, and Brake Controller for a 2023 Nissan Frontier
    To add a hitch to your 2023 Nissan Frontier you are going to want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13241. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Frontier with included hardware. I really like the Curt hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper and the crossbar is completely hidden. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This towing capacity and tongue weight can be increased to 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs...

    The Curt wiring harness # C56225 is not confirmed to fit the 2023 models of the Nissan Frontier, but do I have two options for you to choose from though. Option 1: The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266. This wiring harness is completely plug-in so you won't have to hardwire anything, but it doesn't come with a 4-pole connector so you would need to use an adapter like # 47345.

    First lets start with a hitch for your 2022 Nissan Frontier. For that I'd recommend the etrailer part # e98869 which has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden. Then for trailer wiring you would need to start with the 7-way kit part # 118266 which comes with brake controller wiring. Then for a brake controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which only puts a small button on your dash instead of a large box like traditional controllers.

  • Does etrailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Frontier have Bracket for Wiring
    Since the etrailer hitch part # e98869 that fits your 2018 Nissan Frontier doesn't have a trailer wiring bracket attached to it the best option would be to mount the 7-way kit part # HM43534 to the lower edge of the rear bumper which would require drilling. Another option is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75282 that fits your truck which does have a bracket welded to it that you could attach the # HM43534 to. This might be your best option.
