Question:

I have a 2000 Nissan Quest. The Curt hitch C13572 says exhaust must be temporarily lowered to install. The Draw Tite 75102 dose not say this. Does the exhaust have t be lowered to install the Draw Tite 75102? Thank you!

To install the Curt hitch part # C13572 on your 2000 Nissan Quest you will need to temporarily lower the exhaust. This is a pretty standard step for most trailer hitch installs.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 119178KIT.
