Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Nissan Altima and Maxima (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle's frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4" trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you're headed or which season of the year you?re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.

Yes, the CURT 113523 Class 1 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount, 1-1/4-In Receiver, Fits Select Nissan Altima, Maxima (Part #BKDK113523) is designed to fit the 2007-2026 Nissan Altima.
The CURT 113523 Class 1 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount, 1-1/4-In Receiver, Fits Select Nissan Altima, Maxima (Part #BKDK113523) Drilling is required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, part number 113523 is designed for Nissan Maxima Sedan and Altima Sedan, including hybrid models. Confirm your vehicle matches these specifications before purchasing.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs. trailer weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the maximum towing limit.
The hitch is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501. These are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the hitch.
The kit includes: one 1/2" fishwire tool, four CM-SP6 spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole), four 1/2-13 x 1" carriage bolts, and four 1/2" hex flange nuts.
Yes, exhaust removal is required. You must remove the exhaust flange nuts and any ground wire from the muffler, then pull each exhaust pipe/muffler assembly toward the rear of the car until the exhaust hanger clears the rubber isolator. The exhaust is reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Yes, drilling is required in two ways: (1) You must drill out the rivets securing the heat shields to the frame rails to remove them, and (2) you must enlarge the existing holes in the frame rails to allow the CM-SP6 spacer and carriage bolt to pass through. The manual does not specify the exact enlarged hole dimensions.
Panel removal may be required. If an underbody panel is present on the spare tire well, remove it and reattach the bumper cover to the two metal tabs using the push button fasteners. Return the panel to the vehicle owner. This step applies only if the panel is present on your vehicle.
All hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to all four carriage bolts and hex flange nuts.
The fishwire tool is used to thread the 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers through the enlarged holes in the frame rails before the hitch is raised into position. The tool helps guide the hardware through the holes so the bolts can be secured with flange nuts from the outside.
Non-trailer loads can be applied to the hitch only if they are supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads with these straps will void the product warranty. You must purchase and install stabilizing straps separately.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the hitch's integrity and safety.
The warranty is voided by: (1) alteration to the product, (2) misuse of the product, (3) improper installation, or (4) failure to properly support non-trailer loads with auxiliary stabilizing straps. The hitch is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase.
Yes, it fits Nissan Maxima Sedan and Altima Sedan, including hybrid models.
You need a drill (to remove heat shields and enlarge frame rail holes), a torque wrench (to torque fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.), and the included 1/2" fishwire tool. A socket set and wrench may also be helpful.
All hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft.
The hitch supports 2,000 lbs. trailer weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight, but you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes, all non-trailer loads must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps, or the warranty is voided.
