How hard is it to put a tow hitch on a 03 Pathfinder? Any place online sell an OEM one online? Bryan clubs@ohiobobcat.com Took me about an hour by myself on my '01. It's easier if you have a buddy to help hold things in place. Google: trailer hitches. But shipping can be expensive. > How hard is it to put a tow hitch on a 03 Pathfinder?

I bought the kit that plugs into the existing harness but couldn't figure out a good way to pass the trailer wiring to the outside of the vehicle without drilling a hole. So for now I stow the end with the trailer plug in the compartment under the mat, and hang it out through the back gate when I need to use it. This is will be a pain if I ever have to use it often though. I bought the Hidden Hitch also for my 01. About 45 minutes to install.... FYI there are two models of the Hidden Hitch, the one that has a straight bar that runs across the back (hardly "hidden") and the other that's a few bucks more that conforms to the spare tire. thanks, d. > Took me about an hour by myself on my '01.

I punched a hole in that boot to feed the wire through. I spent far longer figuring out how to get the wire from the boot to the hitch receiver in a sanitary manner. Unsanitary routings were obvious. > Where did you guys route the trailer wiring plug through to the outside? > I bought the kit that plugs into the existing harness but couldn't figure [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>> Bryan >>> clubs@ohiobobcat.com > How hard is it to put a tow hitch on a 03 Pathfinder? Any place > online sell an OEM one online? I put a Class III "Hidden Hitch" on a used 2001 I bought last spring. Although, the hitch was sitting around unpackaged at a local hitch distributor, so I touched it up with flat black Rustoleum before mounting it. It is a one piece hitch that is bit sleeker than the Nissan 3 piece hitch. Mounting holes (for the 4 bolts) are already on the vehicle, so you do not need to drill anything. |
