Hitch Question

[kjonus]

Hello all...

 

I just bought a 2003 Pathfinder and I'm looking to get a hitch on it to pull a tent trailer. I'm just wondering what do you guy think are the better ones that fit out there and anything else that you could teach me about the trailer breaks, wiring, etc.

 

thanks.

use the function, this has been covered twice recently... and i posted a "how to" of wiring in the how to section

I had no issue putting a Reese hitch and wiring harness in my 02. It all went together as advertised. More details can be found by searching as noted by Slick.

FWIW, I just put a Prodigy trailer brake controller on my Sequoia. Extremely nice unit. I've have a Draw-Tite receiver hitch on my '91 'finder since darn near new. No issues. Shoot one of Slick's confidiants installed it for me back in the day as well. Go U-Haul! I only wish I opted for the 2" receiver. There are just more attachments for the 2" rather than the 1 1/2". And Yes I know there is an adapter. Hit the Search button my friend.

I'm not sure if i'm using the wrong search words or not but i can't seem to find these other posts that you guys are talking about. And that how to post is for Pathfinder's from 87-95, I'm looking for info for a 2003.

the 96+ pathy hitche's are not much different from the 88-95's..... i should know, i've installed both...... the frames are slicghtly different is all so the mount holes are not exactly the same...... wiring is identical.

 

most hitches are made by the same 2 or 3 manufacturers.... but the selling company (u haul, reese, draw tie...etc) put their labels on em.

u haul install hitches with their label on it, but they are valley, curt, draw tie or conquest (or similar name), and on custom stuff (rare hitche's) d'arcy build em for us.

What specifically would you like to know? Tow hitches are tow hitches. They bolt on with simple hand tools. Wiring is wiring. If you don't understand how to wire it up, you don't HAVE to do it yourself. It's not very hard. Trailer brake controllers come with instructions if you need one...
