Re: no factory hitch??

The hitch, among other things, comes with the tow package.

How much weight are you wanting to tow? Keep in mind that without the factory tow package you can't simply bolt up a hitch and have the same max towing capacity as those with the tow package.

Re: no factory hitch??

I p/u'd a Curt brand class III for $150. An outfit in Tempe had it for $98. but they wouldn't answer their phone.
QS(Quality S) are ugly, but they are...cost effective?
I'm sure there are other brands.
If you're hooking up lights and/or brakes, you'll need the relays that plug into the fusebox.

I long for the good 'ol days when you would just bolt down a ball into the step bumper ..... trailer lights optional ..... trailer brakes unheard of.

I thought there is a punchout spot in the step bumper for a ball?

Hey cccagle, ever been to Rome Speedway on Chulio Rd? ....I've been there twice in the last couple of years to take in Latemodel shows ..... a pretty good dirt track indeed.

Do you have a transmission temp gauge in your gauge cluster?

If not then you don't have the big tow package and the salesman either lied or has no clue what's what and was trying to make a sale. Sorry.

That's odd; the Big Tow package without a hitch?

Does the salesman sell Titans with leather seats that are cloth?

Re: no factory hitch??

Check out yournissanparts.com I bought my OEM hitch from them. Good price and fast service. It took about 20 minutes to install. Very easy just make sure you have a torque wrench.

Re: no factory hitch??

Do yourself a favor and get a factory one. By the time you mess around with aftermarket you'll have the same money into it. You need the hitch and 2 relays. The factory one comes with them. Mine was 198 with tax at my local dealer.

Re: no factory hitch??

My 2007 SE has a button on the inside that says "Tow Mode", so does that mean I have the tow package? My truck did not come with a trailer hitch and only has the hole that you pop the little plastic cover out and place the ball in that hole. Did I get ripped off or what?

All Titans have the "Tow mode" button. Unless you have the extendable side mirrors, factory hitch, and transmission fluid temp gauge in your gauge cluster you don't have the tow package.

You didn't get ripped off unless the window sticker listed the tow package, which is an option. No option, no additional price, no rip-off.
