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 Quest (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 300 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 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)

Yes, the 2004-2009 Nissan Quest All CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-13563-001) is designed to fit the 2004-2009 Nissan Quest.
The 2004-2009 Nissan Quest All CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-13563-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Curt part number 13563 is designed for the Nissan Quest. This is a receiver hitch installation for that vehicle.
The manual specifies gross load capacity ratings for both weight carrying and weight distribution modes, but the specific capacity values are not filled in on this copy of the installation document. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact towing and tongue weight capacities. Always verify that your vehicle's towing capacity does not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended limit.
The hitch weight specification is not filled in on this copy of the installation manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact hitch weight.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weldnuts in the vehicle frame for fastening.
Yes. You must remove the plastic rivets that fasten the bumper fascia tabs to the back of the vehicle. To remove them, use a screwdriver to remove the center of the rivet, or push down on the center piece from the top side. Keep these rivets—you will reinstall them after the hitch is installed.
Yes, the exhaust must be lowered to provide clearance for the hitch. You will remove the rubber from the muffler hanger and loosen the two nuts that secure the exhaust hanger bracket to the chassis ahead of the muffler, adjacent to the rear axle. After the hitch is installed, you will lift the exhaust back into position and reinstall the hangers.
Pull and hold the muffler to the side, then remove the screw attaching the ground strap to the passenger side frame rail and keep it. Remove the two screws that attach the aluminum heat shield to the frame. Return the heat shield and its screws to the customer. After the hitch is installed, reinstall the ground strap and screw.
The kit includes 6 hex tap bolts (part number 10-10277) and 6 conical toothed washers (part number 30-00149, size 1/2 inch). These are 12mm fasteners that attach the hitch to the existing weldnuts in the vehicle frame.
All 12mm fasteners (hex bolts and conical toothed washers) must be torqued to 86 lb.-ft. Install them loosely first, then torque them to this specification after the hitch is raised into place.
Position the hitch toward the driver side to allow maximum muffler clearance. This positioning is important to avoid interference with the exhaust system.
Curt Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If the product is found to be defective, Curt may repair or replace it at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation. Curt's liability is limited to repair or replacement and excludes liability for incidental or consequential loss or damage.
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, but regular inspection is essential for safe towing.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13563 has its own gross load capacity ratings, but your vehicle's manufacturer limit is the controlling factor. Verify both the hitch capacity and your vehicle's capacity before towing.
Yes, the Curt 13563 is designed for the Nissan Quest.
