A CURT front trailer hitch allows you to use the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, a number of towing accessories and can even be used for some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front tow hitch are the CURT winch mount, step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount, skid shield and tow hooks. All CURT front trailer hitches provide a useful receiver tube to accept a 2" x 2" shank, and they are commonly used on trucks, vans and SUVs. This front trailer hitch is rated for 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It also has a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. It is designed to be a custom trailer hitch for certain years of the Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pathfinder and Suzuki Equator (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The maximum line pull capacity is 9,000 lbs when used as a straight line pull. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Consult your vehicle's owner manual for the specific limit that applies to your model.
The hitch weight is 70 lbs.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weldnuts on both the driver side and passenger side frame rails for mounting.
You must remove the center lower air dam (held by six hex fasteners) and the front tow hook(s) (two hex bolts per hook). Return all removed fasteners and components to the vehicle owner, as they are not part of the hitch installation.
The hitch includes four M12×1.25 hex head cap screws (part 10-10275), four 1/2 in. flat washers (part 30-00133), and four 1/2 in. lock washers (part 30-00153). These fasteners secure the hitch to the existing weldnuts on the frame rails.
You will need a torque wrench, socket wrench, 17 mm socket, 19 mm socket, 10 mm nut driver, and a 6 in. socket extension.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 86 lb-ft.
After lifting the hitch into position, secure it using the four M12 bolts provided, along with the 1/2 in. flat washers and 1/2 in. lock washers. Insert the fasteners through the hitch and into the existing weldnuts on both the driver side and passenger side frame rails. Torque all M12 fasteners to 86 lb-ft.
You must not exceed your vehicle's front axle Gross Weight Rating (GAWR). Consult your vehicle's owner manual or the specification plate located on the driver's door frame. Measure the gross front axle weight by placing the front wheels of your loaded vehicle on a scale. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and suspension, which could result in accident, property damage, and personal injury.
No. You must use OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment of a tow strap or winch cable. Never use a ball mount as an anchor point for tow strap or winch cable, as this could result in severe personal injury or death.
For maximum line pull rating, the winch cable must not exceed 15 degrees up or down from horizontal, and must not exceed 45 degrees left or right from straight ahead. Exceeding these angles may overload the winch, winch mount, and/or the front mounted receiver.
Attach the return cable to the tow hook or recovery eye, not to the winch mount. Attaching the return cable to the winch mount may overload the winch mount and/or the front mounted receiver.
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 prevents loosening of critical fasteners over time.
The hitch must not obstruct vehicle lights, must allow free air flow into the grille opening, must not obstruct the driver's view, and the license plate may need repositioning if obstructed. Additionally, accessories extend the front of the vehicle, which may reduce approach angle, so use caution when parking and maneuvering. Rear wheel traction may be reduced, which could affect handling, so reduce speed and drive with caution.
