Couple questions on hitch's

sanee · 02-22-2008, 07:15 AM

Hey there guys/gals
First off very glad to be here as i just picked up my 06 titan couple days ago and loving it so far. Thing is i need to install a hitch so i can pull my trailer. I looked around but still have a couple questions.
Im guessing i need a hitch, someone posted this a site to etrailer looks good for the price. and also the relays as i pooped open my fuse box and there is nothing there but 3 empty slots. I looked under the bumper yesterday and noticed that there is a 7pin harness there (i think its 7) so i dont need anything else right?
am i missing anything else.

thanks
sanee

Get the OEM receiver hitch. It has all the relays with it. It will save you a lot of trouble getting the relays. Besides, by the time you add the cost of the relays to an aftermarket hitch the cost is the same.

Hey Quartz

thanks for the quick reply. that seems to be the consensus for sure. just wanted to see if anyone has gone a different route as im not too fond of dealerships.

thanks

You can get the factory hitch online. I bought mine from one of our supporting vendors. It was cheaper than the dealer even with shipping.

I got one from the dealer for 209 OTD and it came with all the relays.

just went to the dealership to get a quote on how much this would be and...

229 for the hitch
32 for the relay
54 for the hitch ball
13 for the trailer ball

granted i dont need the last two as i have em but its still gonna cost me $261 plus tax. also dealership said that its 4 relays that i need and if i get the relays only it would be $120ish for em.

any help guys

Supporting vendors are listed next to the various forums on the forums page. CourtesyParts would be a good place to start.

I bought mine at an agricultural supply store for around $150 or so. Easy to install.

If it is an XE, there is a harness hook up in the dash for electric brakes. Its tucked way up under the dash. When I bought my 04 new, 2 dealers didn't even know it. Found it out the hard way.

i know its easy to install. i dont need the hook up for electric brakes as i just have a single axel trailer. i just would like to know where everybody says they are getting their oem hitches and relays at these fantastic prices.

I bought my hitch from a 4x4 shop for $150.00 I then ordered all three relays from the stealership. My boat has a flat four hook up so i bought the connections I needed and installed the hookups up out of sight behind the rear bumper. Installed everything myself for bouts $220.00 The hitch is made by Hidden Hitch with a tube design and I think looks alot cleaner than the big bulky square design from the Factory. Good luck and happy haulin!

I paid $190 for the hitch and relays delivered to my door and installed it all myself...but that was several years ago. Check around for the best price.
