Step Bumper Hitch

I want a Step Bumper Tube Hitch that will bolt right to the bumper. Any idea who makes one to fit a Nissan, 7-7/8” hole spread, or will I have to go generic and drill it out my self?

Thanks
Jim

I’ll answer my own question.

I found this locally at Orscheln Farm supply. Acme # 88304 Class III Step Bumper Hitch (Generic) $49.00, 2” Receiver, Complete w/hardware. Fits the hole spacing in the Nissan bumper perfect.

*3: The maximum towing capacity when using the genuine NISSAN step bumper as a ball mount is 5,000 lb. (2,268 kg) and 500 lb. (227 kg) tongue load.
Standard practice is to reduce that by 10% for every 1” of drop below the original mounting point.

Also found the Factory Style 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Vehicle End Trailer Connector Kit complete with Relays for Nissan here, $44.95
