Does Install of Curt Hitch # C13304 Require Bumper Modification for 2017 Nissan Titan

Question:

I have 2017 Nissan Titan Crew Cab SV w/ 5/7. Dealer part requires a modification to the bumper. Your offerings makes no identification of bumper modifications needed. Also- yours appear to be Type III, not Type IV. I am not towing, just want receiver for bike rack. Any details, please?

The Curt trailer hitch part # C13304 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Nissan Titan and does not require any bumper modification to install. Most likely it's also going to cost considerably less than the dealer option as well.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

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.
