This video demonstrates installing a hitch onto a Nissan Xterra (second generation) This process should be VERY similar or exactly the same for the frontier and pathfinders of the same generation.

This video helped me so much bro! Just put my hitch on my 08 Xterra. Took me literally 1hr 55 because of this video( but I also painted my bumper when I took it off) Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I was trying to install mine a completely different way and it wasn’t working, leading me to believe that the manufacturer sent me the wrong hitch.
Thanks for the video! Great explanation
What kind of service would instal this?
You have buy the relay kit that plugs into the harness at pass. Side kick panel
Wont have any lights
Hey Ry, I just installed the same kit on my 2015 Xterra, your video was invaluable, so thank you!!! Did not need to take off the bumper or drop the exhaust. My wife and I just laid on our backs on some cardboard and maneuvered it into place. I had no rust underneath, but used PB Blaster on the bolts anyway. It took longer to deal with the spare tire and torque everything down. We finished in about 2 hours. Thanks again man!
I didn't remove my bumper when I installed my trailer hitch, however I ended up having to use a crowbar and pry the mounting brackets on the trailer hitch inward a little bit to get it inside the bumper brackets. also, the trailer hitch kit that I bought came with the extension cable for the rear but it didn't come with the relays for the front, that you need for the turn signals. I ended up buying a separate kit for about $35 on Amazon, they had the rear extension and the relays for the front I also bought some black split loom tubing, along with clips, to put the rear wiring in, mostly for cosmetic purposes, but also to protect the wiring.
M12 and M14 bolts are needed? Is there a length spec or are they all the same length?
I really appreciate your videos. Your camera work and explanations are superb. Thank you.
Dude your videos are the best
So can you take off the bumper without taking off the sidesteps and plastic?
RY guy, thanks for the video, dude please give exact specs on the bolts please, I bought a used hitch but it didn’t come with the bolts.
Where did you install the receptacle that receives the trailers electrical plug in?
This is very amazing… Thanks for all you Xterra Videos
Well done Ry! Thank you
nice video good job buddy
love your videos bye the way maybe you can help me out with something my VDC and slip light wont go off on my 2008 Nissan Xterra anything you can tell me mite help thanks
Good video I was able to install the hitch without taking the bumper off but I installed the relay harness and the pigtail and I still don’t have trailer lights any ideas other than the obvious checking fuses and relays??
