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.

2018 Nissan Pathfinder
Shipping was fast! Looks exactly as shown on the website and the installation video was spot on. I gave it a 4 star because I haven't used the hitch to pull anything yet. So far I am very pleased. Thank you etrailer!
by: Brad10/09/2022
Why would you sell a product that requires you to cut the bumper and remove the spare tire. Then charge me to ship it back. Garbage product and similar customer service
Comments
Typically the installation of the hitch is determined by the vehicle the hitch was designed for. We always list the technical details as tech tips if fascia trimming is required. For a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder most of the hitches install the same however there is part # 76031
Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2"
$183.13 which does not require as much trimming as the other hitches nor lowering the spare time.

My item was packaged correctly and item was just what I expected, the hitch assembly was so easy. Was over all very pleased.
by: William 08/24/2022
Went on very easy and we are using it to pull a small trailer to hold gear for fishing trips.
Would recommend it highly.
by: Anthony06/26/2020
Fits perfectly! I have a 2018 Pathfinder and this hitch is the perfect fit. Uploaded some pics for reference. I did NOT need to trim any part of my vehicle. Installation on the video appears much easier than real life (assuming you have the tools). The hitch is heavy, especially when you are operating from the ground and cannot put your vehicle on a lift. After some frustration, I took it to pep boys, they installed for $80. Package arrived on time and in great condition. I primarily bought this so I can attach bike rack, but may use it for a trailer in the future.
by: Macgarret09/13/2022
Fantastic instructional videos. Super fast shipping and good customer care. Will definitely use this company again!
by: Leslie 06/27/2022
I love it! I put it on and it was easy to install. I am a 52 yr old woman and the installation was a breeze!! I have pulled a horse trailer and a 15ft utility trailer with it.

Great product. Easy to install and easy to hitch by bike rack to.

Nissan Pathfinder
It took me just under 3 hours to install. Most of that time was cleaning and prepping the welded nuts on the frame rails of my 2020 Pathfinder. Once those were cleaned out, the actual installation was about 45 minutes. It looks great, was an easy install for 2 people.

Good design, good price, they advised that it would work better to have help with installation, and I really should have heeded that advice. Extra pair of hands would have been nice.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Hitch
- Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit A 2020 Nissan Pathfinder SVYes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder SV. It will also fit models S, SL, and Platinum as well. This hitch is a simple no-drill bolt-on installation that requires no welding. The matte black powder coat finish over protective base coat offers superior rust resistance. It has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 900lbs. Note: this does not increase the capacity of your vehicle...
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Hardware for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with etrailer HitchThe bolts to install a hitch on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder are M12-1.25 x 30mm. You can order the correct hitch mounting hardware kit for your hitch with part number # RHK. When you navigate to that part's page, you'll simply put the model number of the hitch you're looking for the hardware for in the field marked "Hitch Item Number". It looks like you might have the etrailer # e98908 hitch on your 2017 Pathfinder, so you'd just put that number into the field and you would receive the mounting...
view full answer... - Will Installing the etrailer Hitch for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder Require Any Trimming of FasciaI have a solution for you that doesn't require any trimming of the fascia, but the etrailer Custom Fit Hitch # e98908 will likely require some trimming of the fascia during installation. However, the Draw-Tite # 76031 sits a bit lower and does not require any trimming of that fascia during installation and would be my recommendation if you're not wanting to cut anything. I've linked the installation video we did of this hitch for you to check out, and have also linked our entire selection...
view full answer... - Will etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver e98908 Fit 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SVYes, the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908 is confirmed to fit your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SV. There isn't a fit exclusion for the SV trim on your Pathfinder so it's going to work perfectly. This custom Class III hitch will line up to existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation and it features a sleek hidden design that allows only the 2" receiver to be visible from the rear. I really like this style, especially on newer vehicles...
view full answer... - What Economical Platform Bike Rack Converts from 4-Bikes to 2-Bikes for My Nissan Pathfinder?If you are looking for a great economic option for a platform carrier that can convert from a 4-bike rack to a 2-bike rack, I recommend the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18087. The Curt 4 has a 45 pound per-bike weight capacity and includes sliding wheel hoops that accommodate bikes of different lengths. In addition, the Curt 4 has integrated locks that secure your bikes to the rack. If you need a hitch recommendation that is compatible with the Curt...
view full answer... - Can I Carry Motorcycle With a Hitch Carrier on My Nissan PathfinderI looked up the owner's manual for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder and it gives all of the specifications and how to check for proper loading, and weight capacities, you can find it on page 10-17 - 10-22. The maximum tongue weight for your Pathfinder is 600 lbs, which is 10% of the max towing capacity 6000 lbs. So unfortunately since the total weight is over 600 lbs, I cannot recommend it, if you can shave 21 lbs off the carrier or the bike it would be within the manufacturers limit. I think...
view full answer... - Comparison of 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Trailer HitchesFor your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, the hitch manufacturers have all specified the same weight capacities. Curt # C13309, Draw-Tite # 76031, and etrailer # e98908 all have 900 lb tongue weight and 6,000 lbs towing capacity. I recommend the least expensive options at the time of purchase because they all are great quality hitches with the biggest difference between them being the etrailer hitch has a flat/matte black finish versus the high gloss black of the other two.
view full answer... - Is Trimming Required to Install the etrailer Hitch # e98908 on a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder?Yes, there is fascia trimming required to install the etrailer item # e98908 hitch on your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. I have linked a video of the installation being done on a 2018 Pathfinder we had in the shop over the summer. If you skip ahead to the 6:40 mark you will see the cut that needs to be made. As far as installation goes you should also watch the video to see if it is something you would feel comfortable and capable of doing yourself. This hitch has a 5 out of 10 rating on our...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and etrailer.com Hitch for 2018 Nissan PathfinderCurt 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...
view full answer... - How To Mount a 7-Way On the etrailer Hitch Receiver for a 2019 Nissan PathfinderThe etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98908 which is a fit for a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder does not have any sort of integrated trailer connector mounting bracket nor is there a similar option for the Pathfinder with this feature. However, you can use the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat and 6- or 7-Way Trailer Connectors part # C58000 which will provide an easy to access spot to mount the trailer connector. That said, the options are limited for trailer connector mounting...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2019 Nissan PathfinderThe trailer hitch that I recommend for a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98908 because it features an easy bolt-on install and has a hidden design so you don't have to look at a bulky crosstube on the back of the vehicle. It also makes for the best ground clearance. In regards to the writing, it sounds like you are describing a round 7-blade. For this, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118273 as your best option and all you'll need...
view full answer... - Comparing etrailer Class III and Draw-Tite Class IV Trailer Hitches for a 2017 Nissan PathfinderThe main difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98908 and Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76031 aside from their class rating is appearance. The etrailer has a hidden crosstube design and the Draw-Tite has a visible crosstube design. Therefore, I recommend the etrailer due to the better overall appearance which you can see in the photo below. Please note, the hitches are both rated for more than the vehicle can handle so your actual rating (listed...

- Are Relays Required When Installing T-One Wiring Harness on 2019 Nissan PathfinderI know it seems like there are extra steps to take for installing the T-One # 118273 on your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder but it all just boils down to this; without those relays installed the T-One won't receive any power. Basically these act as fuses so without a fuse the circuit is dead. I'm not sure why Nissan decided to locate the plug in the rear hatch area but that's where it sits on your Pathfinder. If you had the factory tow package you'd be able to go to that same location and see a...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for Towing with a 2019 Nissan PathfinderI recommend using the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908 for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder because it is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver, a hidden crosstube, and a matte black finish that does a better job at hiding scratches and dings from road debris than the glossy black finish that most other trailer hitches have. Then for wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118273 which comes with a 7-Way connector and all of the relays you need to activate...
view full answer... - Will the Silent Act Hitch Pin # SHP2082 Fit My Curt 4 Bike Rack?While the Silent Act Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SHP2082 will not work with the Curt 4 Bike Rack # C18030 while mounted on the etrailer Hitch Receiver # E98908, we do have an option that will work for you. For that route, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SR0901. We have tested this hitch pin specifically on the Curt 4, and it will work great with your hitch.
view full answer... - Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 4-Bike Rack Fit on 2020 Nissan PathfinderSo long as you have a trailer hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Rack # HR1400Z will fit your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. I have added a photo showing this rack on a 2018 Pathfinder, which is the same generation as your '20 Pathfinder. In regards to using it with a kids' 16" bike you will need the Kids Bike Wheel Hoop Adapters for Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack # HRSW-ADP-2. This rack will work with a bike with...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing With a 2019 Nissan PathfinderWhen we installed the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908 on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder in our shop we ended up with a receiver height of 13" to the inside top of the receiver tube. As all trailers will be different heights for the coupler you will want to measure the coupler height of your trailer to determine the most appropriate ball mount for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3462 if you are unsure of what trailers...
