Question:
Do you offer the Draw-Tite hitch for this vehicle that is rated at 5000 / 500 pounds? What is the availability?
asked by: Michael E
Expert Reply:
Yes, we do have the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75291, which I recommend is rated for 350/3,500 pounds but when used with weight distribution it is rated for 550/5,500 pounds.
If you plan to do some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring use # C56225 if the Xterra does NOT have a factory tow package, or # 118263 if it does. I have included links to the installation instructions for the hitch and wiring for you.
