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.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

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.

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.
