Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Nissan Frontier (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 6,000 lbs. WD and 600 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra and Suzuki Equator (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

No. The manual states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED'. The hitch uses existing frame rail holes for installation.
The hitch includes 6 bolts (part 10-10272, 1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4 inch, Grade 8, zinc-plated) and 6 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062, 1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, zinc-plated). These fasteners attach the two 0.250-inch brackets to the frame rail using existing holes.
Torque all 1/2-inch fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.
The manual lists two capacity ratings but the specific weight limits are blank: when used as a weight-carrying hitch, the trailer weight and tongue weight limits are not specified; when used as a weight-distribution hitch, the limits are also not specified. The manual emphasizes: 'DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.' Check your vehicle's owner manual or contact Curt Manufacturing for the exact capacity ratings for your 2000–04 Nissan Frontier 2DR.
1. Raise the hitch into position at the end of the vehicle frame. 2. Install fasteners as shown (the manual references a diagram not provided in this text). 3. Torque all 1/2-inch fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. The hitch uses existing frame rail holes; no drilling is required.
After installation, ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual states: 'PERIODICALLY CHECK THIS RECEIVER HITCH TO ENSURE THAT ALL FASTENERS ARE TIGHT AND THAT ALL STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS ARE SOUND.' Perform these checks regularly during ownership.
The manual recommends periodic checks to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound, but does not specify a frequency. Establish a regular maintenance schedule, such as before each towing trip or monthly if the hitch is in regular use.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13831 manual emphasizes this requirement but does not list the specific limit. Refer to your Nissan Frontier owner's manual or contact Nissan for your vehicle's maximum towing capacity.
Curt Manufacturing warrants the product to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser.

Curt's liability is limited to repair or replacement and excludes incidental or consequential loss or damage.
Yes, the Curt 55441 4-Flat harness is designed for Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Xterra, and Suzuki Equator. However, your vehicle must have a factory tow package for the harness to function properly. If your vehicle does not have a factory tow package, an OEM relay harness (not included with this product) will be required for the taillights to work. Contact your Nissan dealer for information on the required relay harness.
The 4-Flat harness will not function properly without a factory tow package. Unless an OEM relay harness (not included) is installed, the taillights will not work. You must contact your Nissan dealer to obtain and install the required OEM relay harness before the 55441 will be fully operational.
Yes, the Curt 55441 4-Flat harness is compatible with Suzuki Equator. Like all supported vehicles, your Equator must have a factory tow package for the harness to function properly. If your vehicle lacks a factory tow package, an OEM relay harness (not included) will be required for taillights to work.
The vehicle's factory tow plug is located on the driver's side, along the frame rail behind the rear bumper. The connector will be similar to the one on the 4-Flat harness. Remove the protective cap carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs.
1. Locate the vehicle's factory tow plug on the driver's side along the frame rail behind the rear bumper. 2. Remove the protective cap, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 3. Insert the 4-Flat harness connector into the vehicle's tow harness connector, making sure the locking tab is in place. 4. Route the 4-Flat harness to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient out-of-the-way location.
The locking tab is a safety feature on the connector that ensures the 4-Flat harness is fully and securely seated in the vehicle's tow harness connector. When inserting the harness connector, verify that the locking tab engages properly. This prevents the connector from accidentally disconnecting.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. Drilling without checking can cause damage to hidden components and result in personal injury. This is especially important when routing or securing the harness.
The 55441 fits Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, and Suzuki Equator with a factory tow package. Without a factory tow package, an OEM relay harness (not included) is required for taillights to work.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required. The installation involves locating the factory tow plug, removing a protective cap, inserting a connector, and routing the harness. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 if you need guidance on whether professional installation is recommended.
The manual does not list specific tools required for installation. The basic steps involve connecting a harness and routing it to the center of the vehicle. For detailed tool requirements, contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634.
