Weight-Distributing Hitch System – This
type of system uses a “load-leveling” or
“equalizing” hitch. The weight-distributing
feature helps shift trailer tongue weight to all
trailer tires and the tow vehicle front tires.
For Armada, Frontier, Pathfinder, and Titan
vehicles, a weight-distributing hitch ball mount
(Class IV) IS REQUIRED if you plan to tow
trailers with a maximum weight over 5,000 lbs.
This ball mount includes a 2
5 /
16
” hitch ball rated for up to 10,000 lbs., and is available through
your Nissan dealer.
Clamp-On Bumper Hitch – This is a
temporary hitch that clamps onto the bumper
assembly. DO NOT USE this type of hitch on
any Nissan vehicle because using it may result
in the trailer separating from the towing vehicle;
this can cause death or serious injury. Use of
this type of hitch can also damage the towing
vehicle.
