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.
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)

The Curt 13514 is designed for the Nissan Xterra and requires no drilling. However, the installation process requires lowering the spare tire and exhaust to clear the hitch during installation. Contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 to confirm compatibility with your specific model year and body style.
The hitch includes: four M12 hex tap bolts (part 10-10269), four 9/16" lock washers (part 30-00194), two M14 hex tap bolts (part 10-10275), and two 1/2" conical washers (part 30-00149). The lower bumper bracket bolts are removed and discarded; they are not reused.
1. Lower the spare tire. 2. Lower the exhaust by removing three bolts from the exhaust hanger bracket. 3. Remove the lower two bumper bracket bolts on both sides (discard them; do not remove the top bolt). 4. Raise the hitch into position over the exhaust and finger-tighten with M12 hex bolts and conical washers. 5. Install the remaining M14 hex bolts and lock washers through the hitch and bumper bracket. 6. Reinstall the exhaust hanger bracket. 7. Torque all M12 fasteners to 86 lb-ft and all M14 fasteners to 136 lb-ft. 8. Reinstall the spare tire.

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.
