Class III/IV Hitches

TheCompound · 04-12-2009, 08:40 PM

First ever post so excuse me is I say something stupid...

I picked up a new 2009 Titan SE 2X4 non-BT. The factory book says its rated for 7400 lbs max trailer. From looking around on the net, Class III hitches are rated for 6000 lbs and Class IV are rated for 10000 lbs. I want a hitch that is rated for at least as much as the truck is rated for. But for the life of me I cant find a Class IV hitch for a 2009 Titan.

So if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be appreciative.

You won't. 3/4 is the best you will find. Either get a custom made bumper with a receiver or use a load leveler.

Is there a reason an '09 factory hitch can't be added like on the '07 and earlier models?

And FYI, the difference between Class III and Class IV is the weight distributing setup, not the receiver itself.

the factory hitch says 1000/10,000 lbs, but the truck limit is less. get the factory hitch!

Yes you can...It's called a factory hitch with any needed relays for a 09' model...

BTW...You just bought a new truck without a tow package and first thing you do is look for a hitch?

"Never buy and brand truck with out the factory tow package!"

I bought mine w/o a hitch. Didnt like the look of the factory one and having the extra gearing wasn't a priority since I dont tow that often or have the need for almost 10k lbs. Picked up a hidden hitch and relays for about $180 locally since it had a scratch on it-It's a hitch who cares, it got coated anyway and looks brand new.

Check with a Site Sponsor for a Complete OEM Hitch and Relay package. Very affordable, perfect setup for you. Shipped to your door easy.

You can pickup the OEM receiver for around $200 from the dealer. It bolts right up in place, looks nice, and there's usually a harness taped up near the spare tire that it just plugs into, from my understanding.

Yep did the same thing here.
