Tested to SAE J684 safety standards, this 2-inch receiver hitch offers a precise bolt-on fit that requires no modifications, making installation straightforward and reliable. Compatible with weight distribution hitches up to 6,000 lbs, it’s the ultimate upgrade for millennial SUV owners who demand strength, style, and hassle-free towing. ## Description 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 Xterra (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 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. Review: Outstanding hitch, EASY install. - Bought this in anticipation of a boat purchase. Mounted to a 2014 Xterra S. If you don't have time to read the review- this is an outstanding product, buy it. The hitch came in a giant box. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it is quite substantial in person (~40lbs). The finish is a nice durable gloss black. It includes all the hardware you need and replaces the crappy factory bumper bolts with grade 10! Installation was seriously a breeze. You need a 19mm and 22mm socket. A breaker bar helps get the old factory bolts out but probably isn't necessary. You also need a torque wrench because the 19mm bolts get torqued to 86 ft-lb and the 22mm get torqued to 136 ft-lb. You can rent this from autozone for free (deposit only). I recommend also applying antiseize to the threads as per usual with anything automotive or any metal on metal hardware application. If you watch youtube vids, there is one kid that tells you to drop the bumper, and even the company recommends dropping the rear most exhaust bracket which requires a 12mm wrench. Dropping the bumper is completely and thoroughly unnecessary and probably harmful since this thing bolts over it in some areas so that's a no brainer. I actually recommend against dropping the exhaust bracket as well, as not only is this entirely unnecessary but it also can make installation harder. In my case, I installed this alone and not on a lift. There isn't a ton of room but once you finagle the passenger side bracket around the exhaust, then the exhaust tip almost acts like a third hand to help hold up the passenger side of the hitch (you can kind of rest it on the exhaust tip). From there install was very easy since the holes are all threaded with nuts that are fixed in place in the frame channel (no back up wrench required). One thing to be mindful of is the hole closest to the front of the truck on each side, the one for the 19mm bolt, may be tight to threat the bolt into since if you didn't have a hitch then this will have been open to the elements and there might be some rust on the threads. I would recommend coating the bolt with antiseize and then working it back and forth to clean up the threads prior to trying to use it to mount the hitch. The finished product looks really sharp and even gives you a new step to access the roof from the back of the vehicle. I am very happy with the hitch and would definitely recommend this over any other offering aside from a dedicated off road tube bumper with an integrated hitch or something of that sort. Big props to Curt for offering such a beautiful, well made in the USA, hitch with quality hardware that is an absolute straight up bolt up job with no other need for modification or fabrication. The price is definitely excellent besides! Review: Easy Install - I installed on a 2008 Xterra - fits perfectly. This is a well made and designed product that comes with very good instructions. There is also an easy to follow YouTube video to install as well. I read a lot of the reviews for this product before purchasing. I decided to purchase with the understanding that it may be difficult to install. My mechanical abilities are low. I have tools and ability to do basic maintenance on vehicles. The instructions state to remove bracket for exhaust before installing. I did NOT do this. It isn't required, it may be a little tighter to install the hitch receiver but still is doable. I think it would be more work to remove and reinstall the exhaust bracket. To remove the old bolts weren't too hard except for one by the exhaust which was tighter. Probably due to the heat from the exhaust pipe. The fit for the hitch receiver was perfect not too tight or lose. I did use some WD40 on the ends and on the frame just to make it slightly easier to maneuver it in place. Once in place you finger tighten the 2 smaller bolts in place to hold the hitch receiver in place. Once that is done the rest is easy just install new bolts and tighten. ## Features - Rated to 4,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 400 lbs. tongue weight - Compatible with weight distribution hitch (6,000 lbs.

Enter your truck info on the website. It will tell you. Love the hitch. Very easy to install. Have pulled a lot with it without any problem. **Q: Will this fit the 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro 4x?** A: This fit my 2005 Xterra Offroad. I do not know if there are any frame differences between this and the Pro 4X. I do not think so. Fit perfectly. Installed in less than an hour. I have gotten great use out of it. Pulled my parents double-wide off my property. That'll show'em **Q: Does it come with appropriate bolts for installation?** A: The hitch will include the installation hardware. **Q: What kind of bike rack should I get with this?** A: This trailer hitch will offer a 2" receiver. The hitch will accept any bike rack that offers a 2" mount although your vehicle may restrict some bike racks due to clearance. You will want to attach this to your vehicle and find out what type of clearance you will have and then determine the bike rack you will want to purchase. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding hitch, EASY install. *by D***R on July 25, 2017* Bought this in anticipation of a boat purchase.

It was an exact fit between the frame rails and I required a friend's help to maneuver it into place after a) dropping the spare b) lowering the exhaust. Instructions were a single page diagram so the amazon community's tips and tricks were helpful. I did not bang on the "ears" to change the fit but they may have bent in slightly while muscling it into place. It took us just over an hour to install in the garage (no lift, only socket wrenches with a breaker bar). The finish is high quality, and it has a nice look. The centering of the hitch on the vehicle was perfect (this was mentioned on other reviews as an issue.) I have towed a boat with it, and it holds a KUAT bike rack nicely. I can't comment on the longevity of the hitch yet but I am hoping to use it for many years. ## Frequently Bought Together - CURT 13514 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Nissan Xterra - CURT 55441 Vehicle-Side Custom 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness, Fits Select Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, Suzuki Equator - CURT 45036 Trailer Hitch Mount with 2-Inch Ball & Pin, Fits 2-In Receiver, 7,500 lbs, 2" Drop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/2596100-curt-13514-class-3-trailer-hitch-2-inch-receiver-select](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/2596100-curt-13514-class-3-trailer-hitch-2-inch-receiver-select) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
