Nissan Xterra Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan Xterra in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then pick the CURT Class 3 card for that generation before you borrow a Frontier or Pathfinder story from the wrong shelf. We stock CURT 13183 for listed 2000 through 2004 Xterras and CURT 13514 for listed 2005 through 2015 Xterras, with four-flat and seven-way harness options that actually list Xterra in the fitment. That is a solid hitch-plus-wiring path when your year lander exists.

Built for Canadian Xterra owners and shops. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store. New to hitch shopping? Start with the buying guide, how to choose a hitch, and what hitch class do I need. Prefer the full index? Open the towing guides hub.

What to buy for an Xterra

CURT 13183 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2000 through 2004 Nissan Xterra years on this store. CURT 13514 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2005 through 2015. Those are the two steel cards we actually stock for Xterra — open your year lander, then confirm the same years on the product card before checkout.

CURT 55244 is the dedicated four-flat harness for listed 2000 through 2004 Xterra. For 2005 through 2015, CURT 55441 is the four-flat card that lists Xterra beside Frontier and Pathfinder years — read the fitment window on the product page so you are not guessing from the title alone. CURT 56226 is the seven-way option that lists later Xterra years in fitment (roughly 2009 through 2013 on the card we stock); it is not a blanket seven-way for every 2005 through 2015 Xterra, so confirm before you add it for electric brakes.

Keep Frontier, Pathfinder, and Armada shopping on their own guides. Xterra is its own first- and second-generation story. Off-Road and Pro-4X badges do not rewrite the 13183 or 13514 windows. We publish Xterra hitch year pages for 2000 through 2015 — we will not invent a post-2015 lander that is not on the list yet.
