Question:
A BRAND NEW NISSAN TRAILER HITCH PIN HOLE WILL NOT ALIGN WITH MY 2inch TRAILER RECEIVER.....LOOKS LIKE IT IS PROBABLY off by 1/4 QUESTION, ANY ISSUE IF I DRILLED A 5/8inch HOLE ON THE HITCH, OR MAYBE GO TO A SMALLER PIN.......COMMENTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Expert Reply:
I do not recommend drilling a hole in a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76154 that fits a 2019 Nissan Titan as not only will this void the warranty but hitches have not been tested to be used after modification.
A Class III, 2" hitch like the Draw-Tite is designed to be used with a 5/8" diameter pin and clip such as # PC3, while a 1-1/4" hitch will use a 1/2" diameter pin and clip like # F-4.
