Product Description
All CURT hitches feature WeatherTite construction, which prevents rusting from the inside out by sealing the main body of the hitch. The receiver tube has an open back end to allow for easy cleaning and for dirt and moisture to pass through and not get trapped as is common with other brands of hitches. All CURT hitches come with mounting hardware and installation instructions. CURT is the only hitch company in the industry that mechanically de-scales all of our hitches before applying a thick powder coat finish, which is baked on for a high-gloss, smooth surface. CURT trailer hitches are simply the most attractive, most durable and toughest hitch on the market. You won’t find better quality and value anywhere!

Curt Hitch #13514 on My 2011 Xterra
By Jack M Varcados
I read all of the reviews on this product before I purchased. I couldn't tell if some of the installers who were having difficulty were doing so due to a lack of knowledge, improper tools, or just a bit of bad luck. My father owned a full-service gas station all of my life, and I am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to automotive repair and accessory installation. I decided to order.I read each of the 19 posted reviews to get a better idea of the possible problems that I might encounter. Then, I read the instructions thoroughly and I followed them exactly. Still, this bulky and heavy item would not fit and I just couldn't force it by myself. I was not going to remove the entire bumper and slide the hitch into place as one guy suggested. And as another guy stated, removing the screws for the rear-most exhaust hanger did absolutely nothing as the exhaust pipe dropped less than ¼ inch. For me, the trick was to remove the second rear-most exhaust hanger, which is directly on the backside of the muffler. By removing both exhaust hangers, I finally had enough clearance to insert the hitch into place and temporarily secure it with two bolts. Furthermore, it still required some "gentle" persuasion to move the hitch around to get the last two bolt holes to line up correctly. This installation was not quite as easy as I was hoping.The hitch looks great, and it is definitely a quality manufactured item. Amazon had the lowest price that I could find anywhere, and the shipping was FREE. As an extra benefit, it is made in the USA! I do recommend this product because the quality is first class. However, I will warn you to be prepared for possible set-backs during the installation if you do it yourself.

Poor Customer Service
By surly
Overall it appeared to be well made and quality manufacturing, however it didn't fit my Xterra correctly, was the correct part #, but was about 1/4" wider than the bumper piece it is suppose to bolt too. With the amount of steel and reinforcement frame rails have there was nothing I could do. Called Curt MFG and they stated it was within specifications and essentially I was out of luck. Purchased a used OEM Nissan hitch online the next week and fits perfectly.

Well made, bolted right in. If you don't have an impact hammer, you will need a long breaker bar to get the factory bolts out - I used a 25" bar to break mine loose. On my installation (2011 Xterra) I had to remove the spare tire but did not have to remove the exhaust hanger bolts - this probably varies by vehicle. The unit I received did have a hole in the box where the mounting flange had punched through the side, but the part itself was undamaged. I installed a Hidden hitch in my last Xterra (2006). Both are good hitches, I like the look of the Curt unit a little better.
