Is Install of EcoHitch the Same As Curt for 2012 Nissan Leaf

Question

Question:

Hello, I’m trying to compare the installation process of this item compared to the Curt version for the Nissan Leaf. This inversion doesn’t need drilling but has a more difficult install rating. Is there a guide to see what the install process? Thanks!

Hey Eric, so the install the of the Curt hitch part # C11396 is pretty similar to the EcoHitch part # 306-X7184 but the brackets are different. The passenger side bracket is totally different and the driver side has an additional bolt hole over the Curt.
