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 Pathfinder (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.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Pickup (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Remove the brackets at the end of the frame that are positioned in the hitch mounting location. Also lower and remove the exhaust isolator from the lowered exhaust system.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill out the front mounting hole to 17/32" using the hitch as a template. This is a permanent modification to the vehicle frame.
The front mounting hole must be drilled to 17/32". Use the hitch as a template to locate and drill this hole.
The kit includes: one 5/16-18 UNC flange nut, two 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screws (1-1/2" long), six 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, one 5/16-18 UNC hex head cap screw (1-1/4" long), two 0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" square hole spacers, two 0.188 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole spacers, four 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (1-3/4" long), and one 1/2" fishwire.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft/lbs. This includes the flange nuts and hex bolts used to attach the hitch to the frame and side brackets.
1. Lower the vehicle exhaust from hangers. 2. Remove frame brackets at the hitch mounting location. 3. Remove the exhaust isolator. 4. Fishwire carriage bolts and spacers through the frame and out the rear mounting holes. 5. Raise the hitch into position and attach using 1/2" flange nuts. 6. Install 1/2" hex bolts through the side brackets on both sides, attach with 1/2" flange nuts. 7. Drill the front mounting hole to 17/32" using the hitch as a template. 8.

Fishwire is a technique for routing fasteners (carriage bolts and spacers) through the vehicle frame. The 1/2" fishwire is included in the kit and is used to guide the carriage bolts and spacers through the frame channels and out the mounting holes.
The front mounting hole is accessed through an access slot located on the inside of the frame rail near the gas tank. You will drill this hole to 17/32" using the hitch as a template, then fishwire a carriage bolt and spacer through the access slot and out this hole.
A 1/2" hex bolt is installed through each side bracket and the hitch plate, then secured with a 1/2" flange nut. This is done on both sides of the hitch. These bolts are torqued to 110 ft/lbs.
One end of the exhaust isolator is attached to the bracket provided with the hitch using the 5/16" hardware. The other end is attached to the original isolator hanger. The exhaust is then reconnected to its hangers.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and prevent loosening due to vibration and use.
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 it at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, even though the hitch is rated for 6,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight distribution hitch. Your vehicle's limits take priority.

The kit includes a T-connector with yellow and green wires, a 4-flat connector, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a black converter box, double-sided tape, and cable ties for securing loose parts.
Open the tailgate. On the driver's side, remove the two hex head bolts securing the taillight assembly. Separate the connectors carefully, making sure not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat on the passenger side.
On the driver's side, place the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle harness and the taillight assembly. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the green wire T-connector.
Route the green wire and 4-flat wire down through the opening under the taillight assembly, then along the backside of the bumper to the passenger side, and up through the opening under the taillight assembly on that side. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle frame) is not available. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire eyelet.
If a suitable existing grounding point is not available, drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the cable ties provided in the kit.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. Drilling without checking can cause damage and personal injury.
After routing the wires and connecting the T-connectors on both sides, re-assemble the taillights on both the driver's and passenger's sides. The manual does not specify torque values for the hex head bolts.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the installation steps, you will likely need a wrench or socket to remove and reinstall the two hex head bolts on each taillight assembly, and possibly a drill if a grounding point must be created. Consult CURT or a professional installer for a complete tool list.
