All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
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 Xterra (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 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.

Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval; consult your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule or contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for recommended intervals.

Curt Manufacturing warrants the hitch to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If defective, Curt may repair or replace the product at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation.
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.
